My youngest daughter has a friend who periodically argues with her parents and runs away from home for a couple of days, when she does this, she usually almost never has money with her, and so this means she uses that 1800-reverse phone call thing to call my daughter and let her know shes run away again.

1800-reverse would have to tbe the biggest con job ever, a 40 second phone call costs over $4.. the reason I know this, is that my phone bill arrived today, almost doubled in size, the reason, three 1800 reverse calls to my house, accepted by my daughter, three calls, $16 later. I am not impressed.

Don't worry, you can call Telstra and swear like a trooper that you're taking your services elsewhere until we tell you that 1800 Reverse doesn't belong to us and you can stick it up your jumper!

Long day at work, sorry...

LOL

I knew that it wasnt a telstra thing, i still think its a con job, theres no way it couold be costing them THAT much to offer the service.

I'm with primus btw 8-)

I thought so. Market research shows that people choose their phone service provider based on their current (or previous) ISP. It's a bundle thing.

hmmm let me think, no i didnt go with primus as my isp until after i'd switched to them for calls, they came round with a nifty deal, since i had two lines at that time, that saved me something like $20 a month, thats when i switched.. of course then when my isp closed down it was just as easy to go with primus.

and now i cant be fussed swapping to anyone else
