RamyElbeltagi: Out of interest, who is your provider? and which countries do you regularly call?

Most commonly I call Japan LL and mob
with 2talk LL calls are 0.0575 compared with NP 0.0897
mob is quite different - 2talk 0.23 compared with NP 0.44 ( so not quite double)

I've adjusted NP prices above to include GST. 2talk prices already include gst.

asstastic: Yeah I see why you might get confused with that, just planning on taking advantage of their music streaming and setting up wireless speakers around the house... will be awesome.. naked plus will help set that up.
It's pretty awesome how technology advances, I can play movies from my phone and link straight to tv via wireless.
I'm still a bit of a tech noob thou so bear with me :)

as far as I can tell, their 'music streaming' is just using grooveshark ( http://grooveshark.com/), which is free anyway, so you don't need nakedplus to use it.

I'm not entirely sure what, if anything, they do to make it different.

Naked Plus is working on a package that will let you hire the speakers on a monthly plan. That's why I am planning on going with them, im not sure who else does that. To buy the set up myself would be too expensive.

So basically your choice of ISP is made because they are the ones who will rent you some speakers?

That sounds a pretty odd criteria for choosing ISP in my opinion.

italk here

Calls $0.14 locally and for international it varies depending on what plan and where you are calling. On my current plan to Japan $0.19 or if I change my base plan it would be $0.12.

Plan I'm on is $11 a month for 500 minutes to 40+ countries.

$0.26 for NZ Mobiles though. Not sure about LL to mobile for Japan couldn't find that :-)

All including GST. :-)

farcus:you might want to recheck that

italk local calling is 0.02 per minute
italk to Japan LL is 0.06 pm and mob 0.31

I used to be with italk a couple of years ago but ditched them because of inconsistent international call quality.
They admitted to having problems but never ever got around to fixing them.
Sometimes the number I would call would give a no such number message - but I always call the same range of numbers so knew they existed.

Never had a problem with local calls though.

Lurch: 

2talk/italk can't find anything near for value wise.

Had a look on the nakedplus website but would be paying more for the same service I'm getting now. Will keep an eye on them though.

Always good to have a couple of new players :-)
