How do you do that?

You also have to watch the 20 minute time out thing most ISP's use - you can get logged off if you don't use an anti idle programme while on the net, then get whacked for another local call to reconnect.

The prepaid system in Australia is a voucher card which bought from normal retail shops - it works in a similar way to a phone card - if you like the service, once it has been used up you go into a shop and buy another card - if you don't like the service, you make other arrangements.
