Take Note for those using Data Roaming on Optus and Telstra network. The grade of network have restriction for data roaming Sim. Those visiting Urual areas are suggested to get their prepaid SIM card at Australia directly to have access to their TOP tier network.
Just want to be absolutely clear, it's not just the roaming sims/devices which have "restricted" access. If you get a sim from other companies that run off Telstra/Optus networks, they you would also be affected by the same restrictions.
Having said that, 99.9% of the tourists won't notice any difference even if you head to rural areas, so I rarely mention such details - it probably confuses people and scares them off from good deals that are more than adequate for their needs. Although if you're heading off on an exercise or going to some seriously remote places, definitely get a Telstra-branded local sim (and not anything else that runs off Telstra, such as Boost, Aldi, etc).
