Need a backup sim (require 3g or GPRS internet connection support as well)
to swap in for regional areas (NSW and Vic). (primary sim is
voda...unsuitable for regional..patchy for calls as is).
Anything prepaid for Telstra?  Second option is Optus, less coverage.

Like Chops from the Telstra pre-paid thread, I too need to replace my

NextG network be using the same one?

Does anyone here have any experience with Southern Cross ?

recommendation for a replacement please ?
I do not want a phone with a card in it that I have to constantly

Thank You
