Optus has upped the ante in the fixed line battle with Telstra by cutting international rates to popular countries by 50-85 per cent.
To top five countries: United kingdom, United States, Canada, Ireland and New Zealand, Optus has reduced its rate under the yes callsaver plan to nine cents per minute.
Telstra's heavily-promoted homeline plus charges 21 cents to those countries.
In the top ten, the differences are greater, with Optus now charging nine cents per minutes for calls to China, compared to Telstra's 75 cents and nine cents to Singapore compared to 45 cents by Telstra.
AAPT offers 18 cents per minute on calls to the top five destinations, with a number of price capping options depending on call length.

Have a look at phonecardpoint.com.au - it compares all the various discount cards available ... flagfall AND cost per minute.
I've been using cards from them since last year and have never paid over 4c per minute with no flagfall.
