Hi,
I have just been looking at SkypeIn (http://www.skype.com/products/skypein/)
.. It sounds great, but I want to have a regular telephone number in
Australia so friends can call me here in Germany for the cost of a local
call. Unfortunately Australia is not one of the countries listed for the
SkypeIn service. Is there any other technology available at the moment that
will let me do this?
Thanks in advance.

Easy. Set up two accounts with Sipgate.de, give one number and setup details
to your friends in Oz, and they can call you for FREE on the other German
No.
You can use free soft phones like Xten Lite or, if you have router, plug ATA
and ordinary phone
into it. Better still get VoIP equipped router e.g. Draytek 2600V, Zyxel
2602HWL, ZoomX5V or
AVM Fritz!box.
Regards,
Martin

Thanks for the info Martin. If I just want a telephone number in Australia
that allows people to call it, without any setup on their behalf, could you
suggest anything?
Cheers

You need to investigate Oz VoIP providers, I haven't got a clue.
VoIP providers will often not provide local numbers to foreigners,
so you may need someone down under to do that for you.
