However, I would recommend an International calling card for all calls as even cheaper.

Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide, Sydney, Perth etc etc then type the code in printed on your card - you then dial the number - 001144 blah blah blah - very cheap calls - when the card runs out you can top up online or over the phone just like a mobile phone - we often just use MSN for calls or Skype but not everyone has computers and sometimes you just want to use the normal phone - these cards are excellent for that - my mum uses a similar one from UK - Australia (also bought from Royal mail)

Thanks for all the replies.
Will deffo sort out an international card when/if we get visa.
I've printed off details for my ever growing "useful info file"

Re: Calling UK from Oz
Does anyone know whether Telstra is the only fixed line company or are there competitors?
