Telstra Next G

Just throwing this in in case it helps someone out there. Telstra has a $20 per month post paid plan with $5 of calls included and a NextG phone supplied, or $20 if you supply the phone. The big plus is that you get 1 hour of free time to any phone every day with a maximum of 20 minutes per call then you redial the number if you want to keep talking. You nominate the hour you want e.g. 6-7pm each day and it's based on the Australian state you are in at the time.

Might be useful for the travellers out there who want to stay in touch with family for little cost.

Cheers
