I've had no real joy with a few tho inc 'Talk Tomato' and another which the name escapes me.
I've been recommended a 'Gotalk' one which I have, but not tried yet. Calls to the UK are a few cents per min I've been told, but as I say not tried it yet.

Hi we use Ozcall for Oz to UK calls. It's slightly cheaper than GoTalk.

From what I can gather on the link you posted there's no need for a # key? Am I right in thinking that?

Re: No reason for friends/relatives not to call you
I've just purchased a Day & Night (Night & Day?) card from a website called phonecard selector (there was a link from BE a few weeks back I think). I bought it online - $20 card gives me over 1000 minutes talk time to the UK and there is no connection fee - they quote 2c a min. Some cards only charge 1c a min but there is a connection charge (apart from local phone call). Only pain is you have to dial a million numbers and you need to live in certain areas to avoid paying national call rates.
This all sounds very confusing when I read it back but I'm sure you'll work it out. It was very easy to sort out anyway.

I have been using Discount Dial for 1/2p per minute. Their number is: 0844 200 9090. After a short introductory message you will need to enter the full number you want to reach in Australia and then press #
The call disconnects after 3 hours but you can dial again as often as you want.
I believe their mobile rate is also 10p per minute.
