Mobilephones
Australia operates mobile telecommunications services using two digital technologies: 3G and GSM (Global Systems for Mobiles).

Computers
Electricity from mains supply power points in Australia is alternating current supplied at 230 to 240 volts with a frequency of 50 Hz, with a tolerance range of +10% and -6% (i.e. 216 to 253 volts). You may bring over your laptop, but consider the compatibility of the computer’s power system and power plugs.

If you are looking to buy your laptop or desktop computer in Melbourne, there are numerous stores (with physical or online stores) offering reasonably priced options:
