3 mobile->3G coverage only
Optus etc ->3G + GSM coverage.u can't use 3 sim card if ur phone is not a 3G phone
choose a mobile based on how many of ur friends using it.( so that u can utilize the free minutes lol)
as to call back to malaysia,buy a lebara mobile sim.1 cent per minute to call to any malaysia number + 20 cents flagfall.topup AUD 10 and u the validity is 1 month.
