Australia Post Prepaid TravelSIM = HIGHWAY ROBBERY (except it’s legal)nnSet-up was seamless. The problem is I was asked to recharge almost as soon as I activated the sim card. I knew beforehand that I only get a $5 credit from my initial purchase of the card, but that instantaneous? I don't even remember using it. Then, I recharged for a $25 credit and I ran out of data within a 12-hour period notwithstanding the fact that I rarely used it within that period. By then, I knew it would just be a waste of money to continue using it. Worse than a highway robbery because this one is legal. Thank goodness for Starbucks!nnUPDATE: If you’re visiting Hawaii (and I suppose even the US Mainland), buy a T-Mobile temporary sim card for $41 US and you’re all set. They even set up your mobile phone for you. No re-charging required. Use free Wifi wherever you can. With a 10GB data! - very handy with Google Maps for many all-day drivings. The only caveat is it’s for local calls only - that ‘s where Viber and Messenger come in.
