If you want the convenience of having a mobile phone, buy a pre-paid simcard
on arrival - typically $20 including $20 calls (I prefer Vodafone - but
there's little difference really for the Gold Coast). Anyone from home can
call you easily (no charge for incoming). If you want to call home -
consider a callback service. They're all in the US - but we used one for
travel in Canada, Ireland, Italy and Turkey last year - buying a sim in each
country (Bloody Canada - their gsm services are pathetic). Very cheap. Very
convenient. Do a Google - there are several!!
Have Fun!!
