Calling all Aussies in the know (again).

When I go to Australia can I just change the SIM card or will I have to get a new cell phone?

Thanks

There are no SIM cards in Korean mobile phones so you either need to get an Aussie mobile or use Korean roaming.

Not true if you are talking about smart phones.

What's your phone? Smartphones will work since they use SIM cards, anything from LG U+ won't work.

A regular cellphone. It is not a smart phone. It is a Samsung Anycall and has a SIM card.

I'm gonna go with no. Most of those old phones aren't set up as Tri/Quad band.
