Some sample rates:

06 rate to Australian Landlines: 9.9c Untimed
06 rate to Australian Mobiles : 19.8c per minute (charge per second block)

09 rate to Australian Landlines: 0.9c per minute (charged per minute block)
09 rate to Australian Mobiles: 19.8c per minute (charged per second block)

These rates are accessible simply by putting the 06 or 09 prefix in front of the destination phone number dialed.

06 Family Rates

The 06 rates are specifically designed for calling Australian phones from Internet Phones in everyday situations.

06 rates are accessed by using 06 prefix.

• Australian Landlines
  9.9c Untimed
  e.g. 06 612 9217 6000
  
  
• Australian Mobiles
  19.8c Per Minute (charged per second block)
  e.g. 06 61 410 311 000

Call Quality

The quality of 06 rate calls to Australian Landlines is EXCELLENT (equal that of OZtell standard rates). So can be used for all types of calls.

The quality of 06 rate calls to Australian Mobile is GOOD (longer connection time than OZtell standard rates). So can be used for most types of calls.

Requirements

These 06 rates are for calling out from internet phones only (so you will need to subscribe to SIP, IAX or Soft-Dial services. (Note subscription to Soft-Dial is free!).

You will need to you dial 06 in front of the international format phone number (full IDD format), e.g. 06 612 9217 6000, in order to access these low call rates to Australian call destinations.

Lower Call Rates

For even lower costs to Australian call destinations, the 09 prefix rather than the 06 prefix should be used.

09 rate to Australian Landlines is 0.9c Per Minute (charged per minute block)
09 rate to Australian Mobiles is 19.8c Per Minute (charged per second block)

Call Quality

The quality of 09 rate calls are NOT as good as those of 06 rates or OZtell standard rates. But can be used for casual calls to family and friends.

Major problem with 09 calls are the delays:

1. Initial Connection Delay - takes longer (10 to 40sec) to connect
2. Voice Delay - in some cases can take longer (1 sec) to hear the other party
3. Improvement Delay - smart technologies (like echo cancellation) take longer (5 to 10 sec) to kick in.
4. DTMF Delay - DTMF tones (pressing digits on the phone) may not work to certain automated voice response systems.
5. Non connection to some Australian mobiles - Some Australian mobile numbers cannot be reached via the 09 service, we are currently working with the provider to get them fixed.

Do not hang up if there is a long silence after your dialed, that's normal and you will not be charged for that silence.

09 takes some getting used to at first, but once the parties are used to it, the call quality is very clear and very stable.

While using 09, it is an idea to tell the other party that yours is an "overseas" call.

Requirements

These 09 rates are for calling out from Internet Phones only. You will need to subscribe to an Internet Phone Module before you can access this rates.

You will need to you dial 09 in front of the international format phone number (full IDD format), e.g. 09 612 9217 6000, in order to access these low call rates.
