Hi there, 

Been reading around for a while but decided to start posting.

Just a question, is there an option, or plans for any options to allow for cheap or unlimited landline calls (even if it is to only a few numbers), from mobile? I don't see why bestmate allows 1000 minutes to a cellphone but you can't bestmate a landline.

Isn't it cheaper to connect a mobile to landline call than a mobile to mobile call? Anyway, just wondering about this issue as I need to make landline calls but they are quite expensive without a contract.

Thanks

Thanks, never knew that, I wonder why Vodafone doesn't offer the same thing.

Though a quick visit to their website showed that the landline mus be connected via telecom, is there a way of checking what company a landline is connected through?

Vodafone offered cheap landline calling and the Commerce Commission said it was anti-competitive.

That's just wrong, we all complain all day of how the telcos have a monopoly and are charging us outrageous ripoff prices, someone brings out something decent and nice, and the commerce commision tells them to get rid of it for being anti-competitive?

What are we meant to do?

Its because VF made it to landlines and VF only - @6c a minute it is kind of anti competitive...
