Ha Ha Ha Ha How is your electricity sold? Hour, Watt, or by unit (KW/h)? And as for cell phones being cheap, you have a receiver pays setup! How good is that, then you have so many competing Telcos that sometimes you just cannot call the house across the street without tracversing 3 exchanges, and then you have so many area codes (each of which is so small) that almost all your calls are STD, then as for cheap, how is AUD$49.00/Month for all you can eat (that?s about US$30/month) and all incoming calls are free, YES FREE! :) So much for the "american"(sic) always making things better. The best phone and postal services by far in in Australia. There are no peers at all. Sorry, I just had to call that bluff T _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
