    My OH is in Sydney, but its costing us a fortune on calls. She is on a mobile over there. Whats the easiest way we can keep in contact?

    I have landline/mobile/internet

    She just has a mobile (she got a vodafone call card but that was expensive also)

    I've been using skype to call her mobile but thats 20c a min. is there anything cheaper?

    She can buy a calling card (like Talk Tomato or the myriad of cards you can get) and call you - assuming you have a landline.

    If her vodafone contract allows cheap or free minutes to a landline, then she'll only be paying for the international part, which usually isnt much - around AUD 0.2c p/m

    The thing is Doc that she lives outside the city. There is 1 net cafe and their head set is broke. So that doesn't work. Other than that she doesn't have the time to go into net cafe's while she is out doing stuff with the other girls she is with.

    I got one from a 7 Eleven, or one of those kind of shops. It might be possible to get them online, as I doubt the shops stock the full range.

    EDIT - if she doesnt have a contract, then she should find a way to make the call from a landline, if its possible.

    buying one online, wouldn't I have to wait for delivery? I've sent word to her to get to a 7Eleven. Hopefully she will find one there.
