Access Number To Get Cheap Calls From Australia?

Liars_Poker

Does anyone have a cheap access number for phoning the UK from Australia or any websites that provide access numbers for phoning from Australia?? Many Thanks

I will pm bridiej, a board guide on MSE, who actually lives in Australia and she might be able to answer your question

from an old thread on here ... http://www.ozprepaidcards.com.au/

I've seen another site as well, but can't find it at the moment

I was actually wondering if there was an access number to dial rather than buying a pre-paid card that would then cost either 1c or 1p a minute. ANY OTHER HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

do a search of this forum for Australia - I vaguely think there was something else in September or so about an Australian site with cheap calls comparisons or recommendations - I just couldn't find it last night ....... or Google etc?

or look into voice over internet possibilities - free calls between people who use the same system, and some free calls to pstn numbers as well

Interesting site PF.

I found

[font=Comic Sans MS, Arial, Helvetica]Prices are reasonable – a call to Britain or North America costs between $1.03 and $1.35 a minute.

[/font]particularly interesting - that's a very UNreasonable 43p to 57p per minute if my calculations are correct!

The MSE Callchecker shows 18185 charge 0.5p/minute and TEN dialthrough providers charge 1p/minute for us to call Australia!

Spoilt, aren't we?

Even BT only charge 9p to 24p/minute.

Yes we are spoilt here thanks to the likes of Finarea.

was half a cent on top of a local call too cheap then? - ok off-peak at 11pm, but still ... or 0.9c all day?

you can call from a Vodafone Australia SIM reasonably cheap for a mobile 7.5p/min

Cant help with the phone, we use Skype or MSN Messenger to speak to people back in the UK, it's free and the sound quality is 100 times better than the phone
