- Hi guys, I've just moved to Australia but don't wanna hook up with a contract immediately.
So what i'm looking for is a prepaid sim where i can get data service. asked from Vodafone, but they don't offer BIS on prepaid sims.
Any advice?

I have a funny story about Telstra.
When I got there the data did not work at first because I needed the APN. I called Telstra and asked for the APN. They asked what kind of phone I had and when I said a Nexus they said sorry, we don't support that phone I can't help you. I said, all I need is the APN, please tell me what it is and the customer service rep refused. I then asked what phones they support and she said the iphone. I then told her I made a mistake, my phone is actually and iphone and she then gave me the APN.
I put in the APN and was up and running.
The fact that I could not get a prepaid BIS plan when I traveled overseas forced me to Android and now I love this OS.
I still have my blackberry, but it is my junk phone I take skiing, biking and hiking in case I lose it or break it because they are easily replaceable for next to nothing on Craigslist.03-12-12 02:50 AMLike 0 - 03-12-12 03:30 AMLike 0

Vodafone do not have prepaid but Crazy Johns has (go figure CJ's on-sell Vodafone) Vodafone has taken a beating here re poor network coverage, but have been (so far in 2012) getting better.
Blackberry Prepaid is not very popular here in Australia. That being said you do have some options...
