Australia Cell Phone
We'll be in Australia for 6 weeks, beginning mid April, and need to rent/borrow an international cell phone. Found CellphoneAbroad.com online and wonder if anyone has had any experience with them. All suggestions or guidance would be helpful. The use of an international cell phone is new to me. Thanks!

You may want to consider buying a prepaid mobile in Australia, as (about 2 years ago) the cost was only A$100 and it included A$30 in talk time. It may be cheaper than renting. The phones are readily available at almost at tons of places (even 7-11) throughout the country. One note, the phone will be locked on network so you wont be able to use it outside of Oz.
