Interesting addition to the question comparing Optus with
Telecom and and STD EveryDaySaver Flexiplan. Clearly for much
fido roughly daily STD caller mail runs, Telecom is cheaper.

Optus is currently doing a promo on a thing they call the Optus
Guarantee. They basically guarantee that if your bill with Optus
for long distance calls is higher than it would have been with
Telecom, including Flexiplans and special offers, they will give
you double the difference in cash.

So you can choose to shaft Optus for that cash if you
want to, knowing in advance that Optus will cost more.

You only get to do it once tho, a 3 month billing period.

1800 500 999 if you want to shaft Optus, but you have to be
able to call with Optus with the Optus prefix, its not good
enough to use an Optus Calling Card on the exchanges which cant.
