http://backsla.sh/betamax has a list of all the Betamax companies and their rates (including voipraider).

The main issue with using Betamax VoIP in Australia is the lag (ie there is a time difference between you saying something and the other person hearing it). That makes it unsuitable for most users.

I don’t recommend Naked DSL, but if you decide to go down that route check out http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/?tag=LNP .

Im thinking of getting rid of my home phone line and getting a naked DSL plan, and using VoIP as my home phone, is it possible to keep the number or re-direct the number to my voip number??

Betamax’s website provides free unlimited calling to Europe/Australia/New Zealand Landline, USA/Canada Landline Mobile UNLIMITED FREE calling for 90 days with $10 topup. Then why pasy somewhere else?

voipraider.com
topup US $10(nearly AU$15) and you get 90 days of free untimed clear talktime to Europe, UK, Australia, NewZealand Landline and USA/Canada Landline and Mobile for free and your credit remains the same as far as you dont make any chargeable calls…

90 days of free Australia Landline Minutes, is there any more cheaper there?

I am using this services since last 1 year not a single problem I just topup $10 every 3 months…

Does your comment about the cost of Skype takes into account their unlimited country subscription?
There is a bit of an issue about comparing like with like but
for $5.95 per month you get free local and national calls a DID and voicemail. On cost it beats MNF once you reach about 50 calls per month and WorldDialPoint at about 100.
Calls to 1300 numbers could be expensive because they are timed. My workaround is to use Freshtel for these at 12.5c per call.

I recommend Pennytel as the first choice of VSP because:
- they are the cheapest (1.6c/min or 8c untimed, 10.5c/min to mobiles)
- they have a range of plans suiting a wide range of call patterns.
- they have the most features, including ANI callback

I recommend MNF as backup. WDP are good, too, but unused credit will expire after 12 months unless topped up. With Pennytel and MNF, credit never expires.

“With VoIP, you can make untimed calls to Australian mobiles for 39c (yes, you read that right).”

Interesting…can you expand on how you manage this?
