Sick of paying for a residential phone line connection that you don’t even use? Well we’ve got good news for you. Many Australian Broadband Providers recognize your dilemma and are currently preparing to launch revamped Broadband Plans that include landline rental.
Typical Home Phone line rental charges are usually around $20-$30 per month. However by including line rental within the upcoming revamped Broadband plans, prices may only rise by as little as $5 per month. Not bad huh? This should suit those who use Mobile phones as their principle method of telecommunication along with those who are seeking to make use of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services.

Why pay for phone line rental and calls when you can use a VoIP Broadband Telephone service (including calls) for a fraction of the price. Many VoIP Providers offer bundles and packages that incorporate all phone/call charges in one monthly bill.
For example. It’s not uncommon for a VoIP provider to offer a VoIP service that includes a monthly access fee, free local calls, free national calls and very cheap Mobile and International call rates for as little as $10-15per month.
