Going to the States in a month's time and will be there for 2 months. Need a couple of recs from the OzB community.
1) Can anyone recommend a good prepaid mobile service that provides good data coverage and is relatively cheap? I've had a look at the Wiki page and T-Mobile's Pay Per Day plan seems okay. Anyone used them before?
2) I'm looking to buy SCTI travel insurance. Has anyone used them before? They seem pretty cheap with decent coverage but if anyone has an alternative suggestion, I'm all ears.
3) Any money changers in and around Melbourne with decent rates? I am in the South East. I've been looking at rates here and there and I'm only looking to change a couple hundy before using my trusty Citibank debit card when I get to the US.
Thanks in advance.
If you want to give your money away go for it, but better to wait until the US and take the money out there. Worst case is a few dollars for using a foreign (Non Citibank) ATM at the airport.
BTW if you have the 28 deg mastercard you will find even Macca's in many locations accepts credit cards, so cash isnt that necessary.
So you wont need any US cash until you get to the US. BTW Most 7/11's in the US west coast have Citibank ATM's
