Mobile phones in Australia

In article .nl, lid says... 2 *what* cents? If 2 Euro cents, then pre-paid calling cards are a wash, i.e. about the same price. If AU$ cents, then they're just a bit more expensive, 2.3 US$ cents. However they are much more versatile, because they work from *any* phone. At the level of 2 cents/minute calls are so cheap, that they are essentially free. Unless you spend hours on the phone it will be hard to spend more than a few Euro on phone calls. Agreed. So you're basically saying that Skype on *free-of-charge* Internet is about the same "essentially free" price as a pre-paid calling card, so the OP can choose whichever he likes best. And why did you silently snip the third option? I have no idea what that thing is, which is why I didn't comment on that. Because it's too cheap to fit with your agenda? What agenda? You seemed to be pushing Skype. Perhaps I 'read' you wrong, but since you again silently snipped relevant comments, I don't think I do.

Frank Slootweg says ... Agreed. So you're basically saying that Skype on *free-of-charge* Internet is about the same "essentially free" price as a pre-paid calling card, so the OP can choose whichever he likes best. Well, consider that a typical traveller will check his/her emails once a day or every few days at least, so he/she can use a VOIP service to make calls with no additional internet cost. And personally I always choose a hotel which provides internet access, even if internet access is not free, because I want to check my emails and surf the net while travelling. I would not purchase internet access just to be able to make phone calls via VOIP because that would not make financial sense. You seemed to be pushing Skype. Perhaps I 'read' you wrong, but since you again silently snipped relevant comments, I don't think I do. I'm not employed by Skype or linked in any way to them. I just happen to use them. Besides there are other VOIP services around, which are probably all good. It's just that I have used Skype in several countries and can recommend them as a cheap and high quality option. Minor nit: Your attribution line is broken, it mentions the poster's e-mail address - which, as in my case, often is rather meaningless - but does not mention the poster's name. That is because I reinstalled the newsreader and the default configuration of Gravity is to show the email address in the reply line. I've now changed that to show the name. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |
