Typo sorry
Agree, just buy a local SIM card when you get there.
All you need to do is ensure your phone is unlocked before you head over.

Vodafone Red Roaming $5 per day to roam and use your phone like you do in Australia.
Available in 47 countries: http://www.vodafone.com.au/personal/international-roaming?li…
Just keep in mind the cost appears to be more than just $5/day

Don't think so. Only if you roam outside of the 47 eligible countries, then you will be charged $1 for calls/data. It's called $5 roaming for a reason.
This simcard is the best. Used it for 5 months all over Eastern Europe.

Rate checker is here:
$90 per GB of data….surely you can do better then this.
It's great for ad hoc usage. If you keep your data usage down it can be a very inexpensive option.
Think i will go with a local sim, i will be using a fair bit of internet
I got a Ireland Vodafone prepaid SIM card from eBay (cheapest I can found $7), recharge on Vodafone.ie and subscript to RED roaming. All Europe €2.99 per day give you 100MB. No charge if you don't use anything for the day.
Recharge €30 give you 100 free international minutes you can use while roaming as well.
A local Lebara (eg Lebara France sim when you are in France, Lebara Spain sim when you are in Spain) is good value for calls and data if you stay in a country long enough.
Eg Lebara France
Sim 5eur
All in one 9,99eur for 240 min of calls and 1g internet.
Credit lasts 30days
mrs?
I'd just buy a european GPS when you get there. Roaming fees will be extortionate.
