I have rented a cellphone in Australia in the past and it's very expensive.

Since we're going to be doing a fair amount of travel this year (Prague, Tuscany and Australia), I followed a lead fom a post on this group and went to www.telestial.com. I bought one phone, and a SIM card for each country. I don't know how much cheaper it will be, but I'm sure it's going to be significantly more convenient!

I have no personal connection with Telestial.... I first heard about them here. They were outstanding to deal with, and my goods were shipped the day I placed the order.
