Thanks for all the replies! After the last SLUG talk, I'm now using VoIP (sipme) - works well. It's actually motivating me to get rid of my landline, as any long distance calls I make I now do over VoIP. As for my mobile, I use it almost entirely for SMS, not voice calls. I've thought (and posted about) using Asterisk + some sort of SMS gateway to do away with that too, but then realised I like the convenience of being able to SMS whilst out & about :-) I'll check out Exetel's bundling - could be the go.
