Latest cheap GSM call rate deal

[Artoi]

A little lost touch on the latest plans for call charges. Last I
looked, iSIM was king with their 39 cents/min charge by the second, no
flagfall. Is there anything more competitive people would suggest here?

Not looking for anything fancy but just a good basic rate. I know it's
a difficult ask but just trying to limit down to 2-3 options to compare
with iSIM prior to signing up.

Thanks!

What about <http://www.joinrevolution.com/>? Use the code "REVT30" for
your free $30 credit.

I ported 10 numbers and got $300 credit :-)

No. They now make you buy credit at the time of purchase.

Wrong. Go to Woolies near closing time. Or tell them you bought a recharge
voucher previously, left it at home

LOL, I am aware!

How long did it take for you to get your $30 credit? Mine have only
received $20... I'll be chasing them up.

Appreciate that and all the replies so far. But I am looking for a
comparison of the best actual call rate deal. Is Red SIM, AAPT or
others any more competitive than iSIM these days?

Prefer to stay away from these sign up profit making arrangements. ;)

Its not as simple as that. For example Revtel charges a 15c a day access fee
so you would need to factor that in

whats your mix of calls? mainly to pstn? other mobiles? if other mobiles,
what net?
peak or off peak?

Do your own research. You seem like you'd be able to cope.

>Prefer to stay away from these sign up profit making arrangements. ;)

More fool you.

iSIM from SIMplus is still probably your best deal for a basic GSM call
rate.

An alternative (only if you normally spend $40-50 a month though) would
be a capped plan from Vodafone or Virgin. The effective rate drops to
about 13c/minute (if you use all of the implied credit), plus flagfall.

Only a few days after the $20 credit.

They do it in two steps, you get that immediately and only
get the extra $10 when the port completes successfully.

No point, if the port works, it will be automatic.

Nope. 2 services received the $30, 3 didn't. All of these ported from
the same losing carrier at the same time. They corrected the problem
within 10 mins of me sending an email and apologised for the error.

Interesting that 2 ports from Dodo (AAPT Voda wholesale) have yet to
be done due to Dodo cock-up. The iSIM ports happened smoothly.
