In Australia, check with your mobile telephone provider to find out about their international phone card service options. Telephone calls from your hotel room is very expensive. Hotel charges for calls direct to Australia can be up to USD$25.00 per minute. The best alternative is to purchase pre-paid international rate calling cards, i.e. AT&T www.callingcard.com offers a US$20 card = 8 hours & 45 minutes of talk time to Australia. Higher value cards can also be purchased. Or visit www.callingcardplus.com and purchase a calling card directly online save big $$$ on international calls. Telephone calling cards can also be purchased at Petrol Stations, convenience stores, liquor stores and most newsstands throughout North America. Or download Skype onto your laptop – to place inexpensive calls to landlines and cell phones go to www.Skype.com Free Skype-to-Skype calls can be made on land or cell phones anywhere in the world at great rates. Important: It is illegal to drive while using your cell phone in California as well as some other states remember to use a blue tooth device. Visit: http://www.iihs.org/laws/cellphonelaws.aspx |
