Default Mobile phones in Australia

In article e.nl,
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.

Nokia gsm is the best mobile company which gives you better service on your phone. They can easily catch network with any sim card.
