Hi Pat, I've changed the subject for your email so that people can better respond to your question. I have a Telstra Pre paid sim, on which I've gone for 365 day option so that i am not having to cope with month to month problems ( renew before it expires or lose whats left, then have so much credit that you can never actually use it.)
Whirlpool is a great source of information on prepaid plans by actual users.
