I would like to disagree with Karl. If you get VOIP, (voice over
internet broadband) you will find that your phone costs will drop by at
least quarter of what Optus is offering here. Depending on your
VOIP carrier costs could potentially be greater. <br><br>
I thought I'd ad [sic] that in after doing my own research on the topic a
few weeks ago while on leave. <br><br>

DE&T employees<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times"> <br>
</font><font size=2>Hi All, this is not a usual IP&M or IS post but I
thought some of you may not be aware of the following: <br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2> <br>
DE&T negotiated a very reasonable phone plan with OPTUS a few years
ago. The plan has changed a few times over the years (your original
conditions still apply to a plan that you took out). Currently
OPTUS are offering a SIM only plan. You pay 12 cents per 30 seconds to
all phones (mobile and fixed) within Australia. No monthly minimum
spend and no call connect charge.
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2 color="#0000FF"> GST is
extra making it 13.2 cents per 30 seconds. <br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times"> <br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>For example: if
you call a fixed line or mobile only once in your billing cycle for 1
minute your bill for the month will be 27 cents. If you do not use the
SIM then you do not pay any monthly charges. You can cancel at any
time, there is no contract.<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times"> <br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>This is a no frills
plan, there is no OPTUS free time and no extended time on weekends but
the call rate is better than you will get in most instances.<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times"> <br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>Call 1300 550 018 for
further information and tell them that you are inquiring about the
government corporate plan and that you work for DE&T. There is
nothing on paper or on the OPTUS web site so if you have any questions
ask when you phone.<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times"> <br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=2>There is no setup cost,
you can arrange it over the phone in a couple of minutes and they will
deliver the SIM to work or home (requires proof of identity and a
signature)<br>
<br>
You can get up to 4 SIM cards for your family if you wish.<br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times"> <br>
