Freecall VoIP

Except for those whose average phone call is very long, Freecall prices are by far the lowest in Australia. This is true for making local, national and international calls and for calls to mobiles.

Their price of 1 cent per minute to any landline phone in Australia with no flagfall is simply spectacular. Their international rates have also undercut all competitors with USA, most parts of Europe and China at only 2 cents per minute. Calls to Australian Mobile phones are 25 cents per minute.

The cost of this service is only $5/month but there is a requirement to pay 6 months membership initially.

All VoIP calls are free. Note that in the case of Freecall, this ability to call other VoIP phones for free is not restricted to just other users on Freecall. It includes any VoIP phone with any service provider where you can obtain the phones standard SIP address. That is a VoIP dial address of the form 123456@voipdomain.com.

Similarly, you can recieve all VoIP phone calls for free.

Freecall has set up gateways to recieve calls from most Australian capital cities as well as from Hong Kong and Auckland. This allows Interstate, Chinese and New Zealand callers with standard landline phones to phone you for just the cost of their local call to the gateway.

Calls to any Australian 1800 number are also free.
