Hmmm di ko pa alam ung mga service, kinuha ko optus plan na $49 tas 60Gb, si hubby yung $45 for 40Gb..Pero di mashadong mabilis dto ang internet like sg kaya halos di namin nagagamit lahat ng data per month hehe..Sim plan lang pla ito ha kaya anytime pede mo i-cut plan mo.Meron ding mga plans na may kasamang phone at lock-in period. Ung sa house na internet, Telstra kami dahil sa work from home. Nung naka TPG kami sa unang pinag airbnb namin, ang hina ng signal kaya nung nakakuha kami ng house, Telstra na,medyo pricey lang sya compared sa iba pero ok naman ang signal so far.

Good day!
Meron po ba ditong naka experience na nagchange ng address while waiting for the visa grant?
Ongoing po kasi kami ng 491 visa application namin, kaso nagchange po ako ng address kasi kinuha po ako ng wife ko dito sa UAE. Philippines po kasi ang naka address sa visa application namin upon lodgement.
Maraming Salamat po

Sa mga nag big move po or yung mga malapit na mag big move, ask ko lang kung may makokontak ba ako sa victoria regarding hotel quarantine nila? Ito kasi ang situation namin:
Magkaiba kami ng flight ni hubby. Pero same date dadating, same airline, magkaiba lang ng time. Pwede kaya negotiate na same hotel room kami para di na 3k each? Assuming na may quarantine pa by january.
Thank you.

In my case, nag order po ako nang SIM while nasa hotel quarantine. Medjo matagal yung delivery mga 2 days before nang end of quarantine dumating (pero medjo malayo yung quarantine hotel namin). Ordered through Kogan. (https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-mobile-prepaid-voucher-code-small-365-days-flex-80gb/?_ga=2.119499849.1180086317.1603194296-40621412.1603194296). 150 AUD for 80 GB data for 1 year. Unlimited calls at SMS. Hope this helps.

Hi cranky, actually natanong ko to sa NSW govt. Kasi parang ganyan din yung plan namin sana, same date pero different timing. Sabi nila hindi daw pwede kasi pre-assigned yung hotels. Pero last July pa eto, situation has changed naman. You can ask them. I'll PM you nlng yung email content. Medjo mahaba kasi. hope this helps.

Thanks!

Hi po. Yan din ang dilemma namin, Dec 12 naman po flight namin from SG. Ang ginawa ko po, nagbook ako ng airbnb for 1wk. Tapos dun na lang kami maghahanap ng unit within that week. Kaso baka sarado ang real estate offices dahil holidays. Kaya extend na lang ng airbnb pag di nakahanap. 375dol/wk po yung nahanap ko. Nagbabantay pa rin po ako sa mga facebook page kung may rooms to rent, refundable naman yung sa airbnb hehe

Ang 14-day quarantine ba is counted ang day you arrived? Kasi if 10-Dec arrival namin, 14th day (including 10th) for us is 23-Dec.

Ung sa quarantine, ung day of arrival, Day 0 ito. Like sa case namin, dumating kami Sep 1, 10am sa Sydney. Ang check-out namin is Sep 15 sa quarantine.
Nag rent muna kami ng airbnb for temporary stay for 1 month ang ginawa namin (pero in actual within 2 weeks sa airbnb, nakakuha na kami ng rental unit). After ng quarantine, dun kami pumunta sa airbnb. While in airbnb, naghanap na kami ng rental units sa Real Estate at Domain na sites. I suggest na i-view nyo ung place kasi ibang iba ang pics at actual. Honestly, maraming nakaka disappoint na units hehe. During viewing, if interested kayo, pede nyo sabihn sa agent, sasabhan kayo how to proceed. Meron ditong 1form na sinasabi, upload dun mga docs tas dun mag a-apply sa unit na nagustuhan. Depends kung kayo ang maseselect ng owner/agency, icocontact nila kayo if ever kayo ang na-approve..

@jakibantiles
Guys, try nyo negotiate sa Airbnb nyo if nag book kayo, kasi wala din masyadong booking ngayong pandemic. Kaya willing sila mag negotiate for weekly rates. Ganyan kasi yung sa situation ko. Maganda yung na book ko na airbnb malapit lang sa CBD, mas convenient sa job hunting. Napansin ko rin sa calendar nila na walang booking for months. So nag negotiate ako sa manager for a good weekly rate. Ayun nag agree din sila. Advantage din kasi wala nang bond. Nag aadvance lang ako every fortnight. So pwede lumipat anytime.
Also, nag apply din ako for studio unit. Actually na approve din sya. Basta meron ka lang mapakita na balance sa bank account. Proof na ma sustain mo yung rent. Pero di ko tinuloy, mas Ok kasi yung airbnb location at same lang yung rent.
Hope this helps. :-)

Yung pinakamurang airbnb po na nakita ko halos 375/wk sa Bankstown, Syd. Baka 1-2wks lang kami dun. Mga 300-350 din po nakikita kong rate ng flat doon kaso madalang ang furnished tapos di naman sumasagot sa email yung mga agent hehe Nababasa ko parang mahirap pag sa simula flat agad kasi malaki din yung ibang bills. Mas preferred po namin room muna sana hehehe masakit din kasi sa bulsa yung private insurance

medyo mahirap nga sila sumagot lalo na kapag wala ka pa dito sa AU
mas ok si AirBNB palagay ko at least wala kayo need bayaran na bond for it:
