Below are a few points that have helped Talk Down Under's success:

Please be aware of this – when you come to Australia, you may not be eligible for a service with other service providers due to application requirements (current and past employment history, Australian address history, etc).
- They are the only telecommunication provider in Australia that specialises in mobile phones (cells) and mobile plans for international students and travellers visiting Australia.
- They have a specialised customer service team for dealing with international students and travellers which is available during business hours by phone and extended hours by email.
- They have extremely competitive plans that allow you to make international calls at the same rate as local calls.
- You will receive your mobile (cell) number before you leave home and when you arrive, everything will be waiting for you to be picked up!
