From: "Peter"

I recently bought an Optus Australian SIM card and activated it on the Turbo Cap rate. The call costs are even less than I thought, and you may want to add the following to your webpage. They are based on the $30 Turbo Cap spend:

Texts to any Australian number cost just 2.5p each and to a UK number 3.5p each
Calls to any Australian number cost 11.3p for the first minute and then 7.8p per minute
Calls to any UK number cost 16.7p for the first minute and then 13.8p per minute

Australian calls are billed by the minute or part, and overseas calls by the 30 seconds or part.

These are fantastic rates, and reduce even futher with a bigger top-up amount!

Peter
