It is quite expensive (compaiable to Optus) but still worth quite a bit to me. We both work, make very few phone calls from home and when we do we're typically calling family in WA or VIC. So, the net result for us is that we loose a $25 per month connection fee from Optus and have to pay for about 20 local calls a month $4 (use to be $2), so I'm still way ahead. I'm going to stay with AstralTEL for a while (free DID saves me about $5 per month) in the hope that the quality gets better as some people leave the fold. Let's just hope they do not go under.
Not that we make international calls but 19.9c also pays for a one hour phone call to 22 countries. That's pretty cheap compared to the rest isn't it?
