Which country do you want to call?
If you’d like to call your friends or colleagues in Australia for a tiny fraction of what you’d normally pay when you use your regular phone service supplier, check out the Planet Telecom international calls service. You’ll pay just 1.5p a minute to call an Australia landline or just 1.5p to call and Australia mobile. There’s an initial 5p connection for each but you’ll still end up paying a tiny percentage of what you’d expect to pay if you just use the big boys. You can call from your mobile or your landline and the prices apply any time, any day.
