Which Telephone Company (Landline) are You With?

[feeb]

We have VOIP with Mynetfone and its has been great and so cheap. We have basic service with Telstra for ADSL line which the net is with another company again but need the Telstra connection for line.

I think calls on mynetfone are like 5cents or something similar. Mobiles are more expesnive to call of course but not sure if you can block with them.

Hmmm... I can't see my parents getting voip... my sister might. I'll look into it. Is the call quality clear? Is there a delay? Thanks girls

I am also with mynetfone! Popular hey!?
I too love it! Sometimes it's a little crackly - but I paid $100 up front and this includes $100 worth of included local and long distance calls per month.

I have an incredibly short fuse when it comes to Telstra... Don't get me started! I refused to pay for a phone line so I have gone wireless for my internet and the voip phone just plugs into the wall... Fabbo!

It's worth a look Bath -

We're with iinet for landline and internet. Not sure if they do anything like blocking mobiles - I sympathise Bath, DSD ran up about $60 one month. Our low-tech solution has been to give her a warning and then when it happened again to dock it from her pocket money. That seems to have it sorted but yep, a tech solution would be better for peace of mind.

Let us know who you go with.

My DD clocked up $200 of mobile phones calls one month.... one call lasted nearly 3 hours and was $60 by itself!!!

Can you call mobile phones from mynetfone?

Yep AAPT had a great Sales person who had great communication skills etc but ever since I joined up I have had to deal with people who have very strong accents that I struggle to understand especially with my 3yo making a noise and jumping around me. So frustrating!!! I wish NIB (health insurance company) had a phone company... they are fantastic when you ring... friendly, helpful, CLEAR and consistent....and you don't have to pay to call them to sort an issue!

bath we have never had any issues call wise, only issue is when internet is down or theres a power failure!

[Bathsheba]

So we might have to change internet providers to do voip? Hmm, we are with Pacific (internet) and they are fantastic... DH would be very reluctant to change... he gets unlimited downloads on the weekend during which time he adds to his comprehensive music collection.

I agree with AJP.. I have had the odd crackly call but really its not a problem... (remember I am in a rural area which has an effect).

The other party doesn't have to have VOIP Bath for you to benefit. After you use the 100 calls a month the calls are 16 cents for 2 hours!... So, it's pretty funky I reckon!
