Don't know what it costs to call within Australia, but using Diamondcard from the U.S. to Australia it is 3.6 cents per minute. See table below:

Hi Bret
I'm on a 12 gig plan but don't intend to use video, just voice.
You're right about calls to other Ekiga users, it's calls to skype users
that I want to know the costs of first hand from the people who do this.
Unfortunately the few that I need to talk to are windows, apple, skype
users. I'm Linux Fedora 11.
On the Diamond card site it looks like they charge 19 cents per minute
for calls within Australia unless I'm reading it wrong, that's not cheap.
I'd love to be corrected on this.
