Dial International

Many people in Australia do not realise that there are many different options when you want to dial international from your telephone these days. Many Australians just pick up the phone and dial away, even from their landline. This is by far the most outdated and expensive way to call overseas at the moment. Except maybe from a hotel room phone that is.

Travellers and immigrants into Australia are much more clever when it comes to dialling international. They use a variety of techniques such as calling cards, and even free numbers to overseas locations such as India, China and Vietnem. An example of a dial international business that offers free calls can be seen here.

Why would you want to pay for international phone calls when you could get them for free or with a cheap phone card. There are sometimes connection charges with phone cards, so when you buy one you should check the terms and conditions. You may also have to trial the connection quality of free international numbers, before you find a good one. But it is well worth the effort, especially if you call overseas often.
