When you arrive in Australia you will need a mobile phone with an Australian phone number, connected to the 4G national network. This will keep you connected, but also acts as identification for signing up to most things in Australia.
Australia provides fast mobile networks, via a 4G national network provided by the larger carriers. This allows you to do almost everything from your phone, on a relatively affordable basis.
However, many providers can be a little more expensive than lower cost options, and also require commitment to a 12-24 month plus plan.
You may also need to purchase a phone if your phone is not supported in Australia. For a new iphone you can pay over $1,000 in Australia.
If you use a lot of data at home, you may also need a broadband solution. Again these can be quite expensive and require a long term plan commitment. You may also need a more portable solution for taking with you, and when you move.
