I have been using exetel VOIP now for over a month and no problems since my 32s dropout (port forward problems).
My new problem is my parents/family live in rural NSW and Tamworth. When I call them from my VOIP number, no STD beeps are heard...Cool... but when they call my voip DID number they get charged STD rates. I thought my family in Tamworth could call my VOIP number (Canberra) and the call would go to the Tamworth exchange, get on the internet, go to Exetel in Sydney, then to my modem in Canberra over the internet so it would be a local call. This is what was explained to me. Could someone please confirm.
Canberra to VOIP (canberra) = Local call for friends
Tamworth to VOIP (canberra) = STD call for family in Tamworth
Rural NSW to VOIP (canberra) = STD call for family in rural NSW
Is this normal, or should family calls to my VOIP be local call prices for them?
Phil...
