As above. Will be travelling in about a month and looking to see who offers the best prepaid phone service with data, hopefully with a presence at Sydney Airport.

I can't use 850Mhz so it has to be another provider apart from Telstra.

Thanks

You've got either vodafone.com.au or optus.com.au and many other resellers

That I knew. I was hoping somebody might have some personal experience about a good provider.
