Local Calls

There are basically three variations on how local calls are charged. 

A flat rate, fee per minute and free calls as part of a package (ie first 600 mins free - as part of a monthly fee like Astratel).

The best flat rate deals are offered by Curl and Engin, both 10c for an untimed local call.

The cheapest per minute call is Siphone at 1.0c per minute (min monthly plan fee $5.00).

National Capital City Calls

The best flat rate untimed call rates are provided by Curl and Engin capped at just 10c per call.

Please note for both Curl and Engin, that the person you are calling has to be in a capital city as defined here -  Capital City Definition (click link). This service is not currently available for subscribers in Tasmania or the Northern Territory. 

National Calls

If you are calling other than capital cities then the best rate per minute is Siphone at 1.0c (min monthly plan fee $5.00).

Mobile Calls

Mobile call costs are pretty much the same for all IPSPs (around 30c a minute - about half normal phone rates). The cheapest at the moment are Pennytel - 24.706c, Siphone 25.0c and Nella - 22c.

Package Deals

Some companies offer a combined package of Broadband connection and Internet Phone service which can save you a fair amount of money.

For example Astratel have a package called AstraBox with unlimited phone calls and unlimited broadband starting from $59.95 per month.

Business Deals

Astratel also have a plan for businesses (Business Unlimited) which provides unlimited calls for $79.95 per month.
