calNgary Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hiya i signed up with Telstra for my landline and the package i have gives me a 4 digit number to key in before the country code,all the calls are then cheaper ,i think a 15min call cost approx $1.35.My dad who is in the uk buys 'cards' from the local corner shop and he says these reduce the cost alot when he calls here,but im not sure how they work.My mobile is 35cents per text sent to the uk,so dosnt work out too bad,hope this helps a little Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynandsean Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 when we visited our friends in Coffs Harbour they spoke of this and said they buy a 'pre paid' voucher thingy which cuts down the cost big time, you just dial a prefix before the number. Would imagine you can buy these all over Oz if that helps. Lyn x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 We're with inet and I think a 25 min phone call to the uk cost us about $1.80 - $2 this is the regular cost so not too bad at all. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JoanneHattersley Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 :cute: Use vouchers - like OZCALL. We buy a $20 voucher and get over a 1000 minutes for that. You call a local land line, put in a pin code and away u go! My phone bill is non existent! I pay more for line rental than for calls :biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt9180 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah you can buy international calling cards from garages (petrol stations) for $5, $10, $20 etc. As stated above the $20 card gives you over 1000minutes. Cheap as chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest austibeach Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 It's possibly cheaper for someone to call from the UK, using one of the cheap call companies. I use 0871 7549090, which can be a bit of a pain to get connected, but is only 1/2p per minute to call Australia, or 6p per min. to a mobile number. Eric.

Bonzer Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 The cheapest way we found for phone calls , was at the local newsagents ,and ask for a $20 Go bannana's phone card ,It's realy a bit of paper , then you call the local number ,put in the pin number which on the paper , dial your international number and you are connected . We use them all the time and have never had a bad connection yet . the amount of numbers is a pain , but once you get the hang of it . Get dialing ......................................
