Following on the 50% skype gift cards at Aust post, Woolworths, Big W and Coles

  • Combine this with current 30% off Skype premium which includes Mobiles and Landlines to Australia for $58

  • Combine Skype premium with Amaysim $99 10GB Yearly plan, you end up paying $158 for 12 months of Mobile and Landline calls to Australia.

  • Buy a $30 Skype number (after 50% Skype card discount) and you have a landline number on the go for people to call you.

  • Skype also allows you to show your mobile number on outgoing calls with Skype caller ID so people know who is calling them

  • With your Skype Premium subscription, you can also call over 50 countries for free including USA, UK, France, Germany New Zealand, Thailand and more

So in summary, Unlimited Mobile and Landline calls with landline and mobile number for $188

    I don't know that Skype allows you to show your mobile number on outgoing calls till now.

    Thanks easternculture.

      Although my experience with the Caller ID varies..

      Sometimes it shows, most times it doesn't.

      • Rockhard on 08/10/2014 - 13:29

        Seems to depend on the carrier. In my experience, if the receiver is Vodafone then it does not show, however Optus does show. I've made international calls through skype and it does show caller ID.

        As victorheaven pointed out, it's inconsistent.

    Great! We just paid $149.50 to renew our subscription, with 3 included DID numbers… & we get charged when we dial Aussie mobiles!!! (OR did the change to include mobiles maybe come very recently…?

    OP, I like how you think.

    Big callers may need to pay for more data (e.g., one of Virgin's 6GB or 12 GB plans…?

    To our costly mobile phone carriers: WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET UNLIMITED MOBILE DATA?!?

    PS Maybe there's an opportunity here to make a new Aussie business, e.g., selling nicely packages of cheap 12-month "Skype + mobile data" packages…?

        • ar993 on 09/10/2014 - 09:33

          It is less than 1GB/month. Might be enough if you just use it for using skype. However, given that other apps on your phone will download upgrades etc, you may finish that in 7/8 months (depending on your use). I assume you have wifi at home. You can keep the option "updates only over wifi" turned on to save data.

    Thanks champ. Ive been using my iPad mini for a while for Skype, Viber etc and it works well.

  • ethanol on 08/10/2014 - 13:32

    Does the Amaysim Data only plan come with a number you can use for incoming calls?

    Are you suggesting that all outgoing calls from the mobile use data / skype?

    Price for Skype number is showing up as $80 (reduced to $40 because I'm already on a subscription with Office365) - with skype credit @ 50% off, this would make the number $20 - correct? Does it work the same way if you have subscribed to the premium plan? How did you get $30?

    Lastly - are there any adapters which allow you to connect a standard set of DECT phones somehow to your skype account to handle the incoming / outgoing calls?

      Yes

      Are you suggesting that all outgoing calls from the mobile use data / skype?

      As long as you use the skype app to make the calls, then yes

      Price for Skype number is showing up as $80 (reduced to $40 because I'm already on a subscription with Office365) - with skype credit @ 50% off, this would make the number $20 - correct?

      Skype credit is treated as normal cash, so i would say yes

      Does it work the same way if you have subscribed to the premium plan? How did you get $30?

      Logged in my account, went to buy Skype number and when i chose my aussie number, it showed up as $60. So with the 50% off skype cards, you get it as $30

      Lastly - are there any adapters which allow you to connect a standard set of DECT phones somehow to your skype account to handle the incoming / outgoing calls?

      Yes. Philips make them. Link here http://www.philips.com.au/c/skype-phones/300793/cat?tab=more

        • I would have expected that with the premium subscription (better than the 60 mins / month Office 365 inclusion), you would be offered it at 50% off ($40) as well (making the actual cost only $20).

        "Yes. Philips make them."

    my 4mths experience with skype premium had been at times quite frustrating. I travel quite a lot and use skype to call mobile# in .au and usa. Two common occurrence would be. 1. Many atimes skype refuses to connect my phone call to a mobile (and yet calling landlines was fine). 2. Sometimes you get a false impression the call is ringing then it would just terminate (other end didnt ring at all). 3. A few times thats happened, I call, the other person picks up, then the call is terminated.

    I am guessing some skype voip gateways are to blame. I don't have a skype DID# (yet) so can't verify calls to skype numbers. Many of my calls are made via WIFI & 4G connections.

    • RedHab on 08/10/2014 - 14:16

      My experience with Skype for over two years is that it is good, when it works, but it only works 80% of the time, and it does not work well on the 3G network. Often you just can't login to Skype, or there are network connection problems.

      Perhaps the carriers are deliberately interfering with Skype, or perhaps it is not well suited to one or two bar signal mobile data.

      Bottom line is that I could not use it to replace my mobile voice plan.

      • oringal on 09/10/2014 - 00:11

      in real world, not everyone is using Apple's product and facetime would not allow group calling, calling to overseas numbers mobile/landline when required.

      Some pay for its convinience to be installed on android,windows,IOS,Blackberry operating systems ( Mobiles, Tablets, PC/LAPTOPS) and need varies as well.

    Also be aware that Skype premium does NOT cover calls to certain "premium numbers" (1300/1800).

    It will be debited from your main balance instead.

    Do you have to subscribe to the premium first?

  • Taita on 08/10/2014 - 15:52

    I was at Officeworks this morning so asked if they would price match the Coles offer. They said yes but we can only match (not beat by 5%) as the 'system is not allowing us to do so". They even called someone to check. I said fine, price match will be ok. After paying via paywave , the lady said I am sorry the cards are not activating for some reason (said failed activation on the reciept) so unfortunately we have to refund your amount!

    As after 10 mins the refund transaction still wasn't processing thru the system, she gave me the refund in cash!

    Who knows what's going on the 'system'…

    • rxjb on 13/10/2014 - 21:28

      I had a similar experience today. Office works had a 40% sale on the cards. The operator manually put through each $25 voucher and adjust for the additional 10% discount and the 5% price beatd for 11.87. At the end, the transaction failed and i was refunded at the 40% off price, effectively paying me $13 approx for $100 credit.

      I couldn't be bothered waiting for them to fix the issue so went to coles and picked $220 vouchers for $110.

      Curious - where are you getting these codes from ?

  • iSamurai on 08/10/2014 - 16:17

    I think you're able to receive text and calls even if you're on a data only plan (or a "broadband SIM"). I did this a few years ago with a Vodafone broadband SIM (overseas at least), so you could potentially negate the $30 to purchase a Skype number. This would also save you from changing numbers if you port out.

    +1

    I have been using Skype for a few months now for international calls (same subscription as here), and have found the quality to be generally good.
    Surprised no one here mentioned "Skype To Go". For those unaware, Skype will let you save an international number as a local number ("to go" number). If you have unlimited local calling plans, this is very convenient.
    The one issue I have with the Skype app is that my Android phone does not recognise a Skype call as a phone call and will interrupt it if I get an incoming cellular call. So I prefer to use Skype to Go.
    Another option is to save the international number as "[your local Skype to go number],2,[international number]" and just dial as a local call. Alternately, use the first option I mentioned - register your regularly dialled international numbers in your Skype account and Skype will give you a local equivalent, which dials the international number through their VoIP network.

    I'm considering this, but there seems to be a couple of drawbacks.

    1. In areas of poor reception you will not be able to make calls as data seems to be the first to go.
    2. There is no SMS/MMS included.
    3. No 000 emergency calls.

    Don't think you can get around the first issue, but is there a cheap option for the second?

    Would be good as a home phone replacement or someone who does not need SMS and can live without 000 though.

          Sorry, was talking payg- casual/prospective clients who just saw price leap A$160 A$319.99 (100%). Existing 12M-should be unaffected.

          Keeping in mind; Microsoft puts to market a 1/2-off promos only to x2 internal price +as if to emulate that high-low strategy of AUS carriers.

      Yeah from this link, it appears Australia is landline only. https://secure.skype.com/catalog/buy/premium/ui?zone=false

        anyone have a screenshot of the previous one? i bought the vouchers but havent redeemed yet. i'm not very happy as i just bought the vouchers :(

        • Ahan on 12/10/2014 - 16:53

          I bought and redeemed $100 worth of voucher only to find I can't use them to buy premium account as my account was initially registered in China. They have a whole different ripping-off billing system.

          Well, at least I can still use it as pay as you go…
