Yeah, but in my scenario, I'm not roaming -- I'm French, using a French SIM, using French Internet.

P.S. I'm not actually French.

I got a PAYG Vodaphone SIM when I was in Oz a couple of years ago. It was a great deal, loads of data and minutes for about $50. It even enabled tethering, at a time when Orange charged extra for it back home.

I turned up at a local Vodafone shop in Melbourne, flashed my passport, gave my hotel as my home address and handed over 50 in cash. Hopefully the French are as easy going as the Aussies.
