International call inclusions on mobile plans

[ohagas]

I’ve just ordered the M15 mobile plan and wondering why International calls aren’t included? TPG have a similar plan for $18/month which includes international calls and MMS. I’ve been with Exetel for 10 yrs and don’t want to switch, but could int calls be added in the foreseeable future? If not, other than using a cheap calling card or Skype (on my android handset) are there any other cheap alternatives? (I do occasionally make calls to Ireland and UK).
Thanks in advance

Hi,

An Exetel sales representative will soon advise you on this.

M39 is the only plan that includes International calls ($100 worth). We can not confirm if there will be any changes made to the M15 plan as this depends on what our suppliers offer.

Thanks for the replies. The voip rates are not competitive though compared to alternatives such as phonecards.
I really hope Exetel are able to revise this soon...I don't understand how TPG were able to negotiate their offering with the same supplier.
The M39 plan is great value but I don't need anywhere near that amount of call or data value.
