I currently use voip with Pennytel for my home phone for outgoing calls to Mobiles and to the UK.

Do you know whether that is transferrable to a mobile.... IE: could I use one of their "Crazytalk" accounts on both the mobile and the home phone, or do I need two accounts ? Or can I log in via the voip home phone and the mobile at the same time... bit like using two computers on the one internet account I would have thought ?

Bit confusing their site, Touch of the "chenglish" about it.

Hi ozzieeagle

To my knowledge you may have an account with several services linked to that one account
eg Voip, Pennysim, Pennymoblie

Each service is billed seperately under the one account
The advantage with Pennysim is if you use smartdial you get your current Pennytel Voip rates plan on your mobile phone and free calls to other Pennytel Voip and Pennysim Mobile phones

So yes the rates are transferable

When you have Voip with http://www.zoiper.com/freec.php and http://www.irfanview.net/ you can use your PC to fax in that once in a blue moon you need to send a fax.

Use Irfanview to save your file as a tif file choosng Group 3 fax as the option.

Then use Zoiper to fax.

Came across that here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum...m?t=1175768#r4 and it works.

For internet access try and go for iinet, they offer the best prices and large download limits.

You wont have a home phone line but you also wont have a bill for it to every few months.

iinet also have great support and allow you to track your download limit left online. They also offer some things free, like the abc iview so you can watch tv online without it comming out of your limits. I think they do this for xbox stuff now to

I pay about $90 but get a large download limit of 60gb offpeak, 40gb peak so 100gb total, which is proberbly more than the average person would use.

If you cannot get iinet, bigpond off ok packages but if you ever have a problem they are a nightmare to try and call up and get anything fixed, picture getting sent between many departments for hours and getting different people telling you different things, but not fixing the problem !

Theres a reason they advertise with only an extinct bird or distinct bird in bikini. No self respecting person wants their face connected with this outfit.

As they say give them the bird
