Ha Ha Ha Ha

How is your electricity sold? Hour, Watt, or by unit (KW/h)?

And as for cell phones being cheap, you have a receiver pays setup! How good
is that, then you have so many competing Telcos that sometimes you just
cannot call the house across the street without tracversing 3 exchanges, and
then you have so many area codes (each of which is so small) that almost all
your calls are STD, then as for cheap, how is AUD$49.00/Month for all you
can eat (that’s about US$30/month) and all incoming calls are free, YES
FREE! :)

So much for the "american"(sic) always making things better.

The best phone and postal services by far in in Australia. There are no
peers at all.

Sorry, I just had to call that bluff
