Default Cheap Phone Calls Anyone? (not spam!)

Hiya all,

Following-on from my attempts to keep my phone bills down whilst keeping my trans-hemisphere relationship up I've discovered a PC-based solution called "Skype" (not tried it yet tho' ...).

1.3p/min to an Australian landline and 13p/min to a mobile ... from anywhere, at any time.

Just some info for people that weren't aware.

Cheers,
Matt

Now THAT is a useful number. You can tell I'm an engineer, always looking for the most complicated solution ...

And Souness'll kick 'em into shape :-)

Cheers,
Matt

Actually, it's currently 13p per min for mobile with that number
(telediscount.co.uk) but still far better than mucking around with Skype.

We tried it and it works great. It's voice over IP (telephone over the internet). Now we have to teach the parents how to use it...

Thanks G-Man,

I notice that they tell you the tariff before the call is connected too, sounds worth a go. Free UK calls too.

Hi Matt,
I've been using them for a few months and never had a problem with them.
They only went "free" for UK calls the other day (with a 1p connection fee).
It's always reassuring to hear "this is a free call".

Cheers,
G-Man
