you pay for incoming and outgoing calls on canadian mobiles as well and
its a nasty suprise on your bill if you forget that.. but their local
calls are free, just your line rental per month unlike the per call
charge in Aus.

For phone service in Aus the best thing to do is work
out what your going to be using it for first because a lot of the mobile
phone plans are tailored towards specific uses (free minutes at night,
lower cost calls to mobiles within their network etc etc). Its probably
best to start off with a prepaid plan rather than a contract until you
have time to really look around, you don't want to get stuck with a
contract you don't like. Have a look around on their websites and get
an idea of what they are offering before deciding
