Free calls to UK US other ehh big places with VoiP - boostah - 02-07-2006
I dunno if most of you guys already know about this but i plan to use it over there when im set up.
I been usin this for a while now the computer version is a bit like skype except there is free calls to landlines and in some cases (usa) mobiles too. you do have to buy 10 euro credit and if its inactive for 120 days they take it so spend a penny to one of the paying contries on the 119 day, thats my plan anyway.....

Having just checked the rates on the links you posted, the actual call costs to ring both landlines and mobiles within Australia are actually dearer than Etilistat.
Maybe you do work for these guys?

lol i suppose it could be dearer for there a lot of companys also offering deals now like vonage, it will be great for me to ring home anyway, good for international dialing i guess especially if you have one of the free ones listed, and then peeps can ring u at local rates on the asigned number bit like skype really, dunno works for me anyway...lol especially worth it if you have your broadband on a seperate pipe as i do here plan to cancel my phone line rental, will save me that and calls nopt too mention the vat, i dunno...gonna give it a shot anyway been usin the free calls on pc just with microphone, does the job - been doin a lot of research into the area, coa i love free stuff, just sharing the wealth

Sadly I think you might find that Voip is blcoked by Telstra, they block Skype.

you can try fone2asia .. where you buy the card here locally ... they are very cheap 30 AUD will be like hours ...
but since its only asia ... then you cant call UK .... but you can try asking your folks in UK to call you here in Australia using internet ... all you have to do is send them the code (but ive never tried this though but it might work) where you can buy in united hypermarket in diera .. its reall CHEAP !! rather than using your mobile

Skype is the leader in this field. I've been using it for over 2 years and its cut my phone bills by about 80%.
