is there a special telephone number to ring the uk??
someone has told me that I can get a telephone number off expats which allows my rellies to contact us at a discount rate, is this right
we've just moved into a rental (the update will be on here shortly) and it would be much cheaper to stay in contact with people
thanks

Hello Bec!!!!! Will keep a look out for your update- hope things are well with you!!
Not sure about the number on here, but we use "Hello Europe" phonecards- they are very reasonable when making calls to the UK (and we use it for Spain too). You can get them from newagents.

If using a phonecard (or regular phone service), avoid calling any 08 numbers, such as 0845, 0870 etc.
These are premium rate numbers when dialling from overseas.
Use http://www.saynoto0870.co.uk to find alternative numbers starting with 01 or 02 which will be charged at standard international rates, and eligible for discount.

If you have broadband Internet, and fancy paying $19.95 per month, you can get free phone calls all over Australia, and Free to the UK and a few other countries.
It saves me about $80 per month in call charges.

thanks everyone, well theres lots of options there. I think we will start with the phone vouchers first of all, as we've had a bloody nightmare trying to get internet, apparently there isnt the infrastructure
we have bought a thingumy bob for the computer now and have wireless, so thats better but not great.

It's an extra $10 on top of the normal charge, and they then charge:
Call Connection Fee 39c and UK $0.02 per minute.

It isn't too bad actually. But i'll stick with mine
