Telstra Mobile Calling Rates

I must be going blind. I'm looking for Telstra's calling rates for NextG plans.
But I'm ****ed if I can locate the info for overseas calling or SMSes. I found
what it costs to do a video call overseas but no info on either MMS'ing, SMS'ing
or normal voice calls.

If anyone here knows how to navigate around Telstra's website I'd appreciate a
link to the info.

It's also not helping that it's crawling along at snail's pace at the moment.
Mostly the mobile section, though.

I would imagine that it would if you're accessing it from within the Telstra
domain.

I noticed today too that a lot of the BP website isn't Firefox friendly. Trying
to download info on various plans, but mainly looking for video call costs, I
was getting errors. I then clicked on the little icon on the bottom right of
Firefox's browser page to make it IE "compatible" or whatever the term is. That
improved things, but I still couldn't find the info, and the site was still
slow.

I do use a decent browser. It's called Firefox.

Why would that matter? How do you configure a page to work fast on one ISP,
but inject artificial slowness on another?

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me.

BTW, it works fine on Optus cable too

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never
ever had a ****ing clue and why you only ever get to do the dunnys.

Sigh..

When you access a network's services from within that network, say, browsing
Bigpond webpages from a Bigpond ISP account, then it's going to be quicker than
say, someone accessing the same pages from outside of the network, say, from
Internode or Westnet or Netspace or whatever.

Nope. Just basic networking stuff.

So why does it work fine on Optus cable, as I said also in the post, but you
didnt quote it?
