Questions about Australian calling cards and bank cards! ! !

1. If you don't have many local friends, you can buy an Optus Prepaid SIM card and put it into your mobile phone at first. When you recharge, you choose International Calling Turbo Charge, so that you can make the cheapest international call to China (you can go to "Yes! Optus！” Go to the store and tell the clerk your choice when recharging, and they will help you. I don't need any papers, but you should bring your passport. It may be used when choosing a number.

2. With regard to Hello China's calling card, it is really much cheaper to make an international call. But don't buy it if you don't have a landline. It's much more expensive for you to make a local call with your mobile phone than to make an international call directly with your mobile phone!

3. Bank cards can be used in any of the four major Australian banks: Westpac, National Australia Bank (NAB), Commonwealth Bank and ANZ. You need to bring your passport, visa, admission notice from the school and proof of your current address. When your bank account is opened, remember to ask the bank staff about the bank's BSB, Account Number, Swift Code and full name. And tell your parents in China the above information, together with the English full name of your name. If they send you money from your local branch or branch of Bank of China, they will usually receive the money in 48 hours. (The higher the bank in China where they remit money, the faster you will receive money. Branch offices are also acceptable, but the transit time will be longer. )
