Currently on Telecom, thinking of moving to Skinny - If I port my number can I still ring my parents for free using their telecom homeline to mobile bestmate thing? Skinny is telecom afterall...

Anyone had this work?

Cheers

Of course, if you get your parents on Skinny as well then we have 60 minutes free Skinny to Skinny calling per week for a year when free Skinny to Skinny runs out at the end of June. Then you can call them when they are out as well :-)
