Just use the wireless at home and a lot cheaper than Telstra or anything else

You have to pay for Skype? I have had it for three years and no-one has ever asked for payment. Downloaded for free and into it.

you can purchase a "Daybreak card' for example at the checkout at Woollies or Coles when buying your groceries. It presents as a regular docket...don't throw out the wrong one

Expiry is generally 3 months after first use...
$10 buys between 270 minutes and 600 mins depending where you call and what time of day... safer and better than handing over a credit card number...

That's fine for Skype-to-Skype calls but to call land-lines or mobiles, you need to pay.

Will this be for a mobile or a land line and how does it work?

I know it will depend on what deal you have, but does anyone know the cost to phone England from a land line?

When I call an English landline, I use Skype (as Ali has already mentioned). The cost is very cheap, from memory the last time I called it cost me something like $2 for half an hour. Calls to mobiles are a little more expensive but the prices are still competetive.

Do they in uk have a computer, you could do an online call , you each need a mic and a camera then use the internet, apple have face time, not sure what the windows one is called

I just want to ring a few LR parts shops like Paddocks with some enquiries, so skype and voip are not suitable. I don't want to waste time setting up any new stuff as this will only be spasmodic, not like I will be ringing friends on a regular basis.
