Last week I purchased a mobile internet card for my laptop which (hopefully) will enable me to access broadband from the farm.
The decision to change over all stemmed from a sales bloke calling to offer special deals on bundled services through Telstra. By 'bundled services' I'm referring to situations where one has more than one product from a supplier, and the supplier offers reduced pricing or special discounts for you to 'bundle' the two together onto one bill.
We've elected to bundle our farm telephone account with the mobile broadband internet service, and within this will now receive up to 50 free local calls per month on the farm phone.
If you currently have more than one product with Telstra and want to find out what deals are currently available the number to call is 1800 039 059.
