No they're not Theo! Absolutely _NO_ data call charges (for 331 calls).

I'm going down the road to get some proof.

 

Could be worse. Back when I had an ISDN for work, it ran to something
like 7c/channel/minute into the dinosaur pen. I cost a fair bit more,
even if it was 3am and I was only running on half a brain.

That's not correct either.

If you make data calls to 01983 numbers, they'll cost 30 cents/hr per
channel. If, however, you sign up and pay Telstra $16.50 a month for its
"ISDN internet plan", or "infill" as some refer to it, then the calls
will not be time charged.

Bigpond includes this infill charge as part of the ISDN plan charges.

I've been on ISDN since July. Haven't had any problems, other than a
small hiccup at the exchange. If you check out the Whirlpool website and
go to the forums, then select ISDN and DoV forum, there are a heap of
threads and FAQs that will give you heaps of info.

There is also a list of ISDN enabled ISPs. Most do not support multilink
connections (128k). Those that do are reasonably priced compared to
Bigpond's ISDN plans, and usually have no data limits.

The biggest issue is the ISDN box, called a network termination unit, or
NT1+2. It has an ISDN modem that's built into the unit and it plays up,
according to some.

Post us the URL that you used when checking out Telstra's ISDN services.
I found two separate pages on the website with different info. One's out
of date, though and has wrong info.
