I use www.isim.com.au <http://www.isim.com.au/> , a subsidiary of Optus, which is pre-paid and non plan. It costs 39c per minute and there's no flagfall. You can have an automatic top-up to your account every time it dips below a certain amount (determined by you). I think when I joined, about 18 months ago, it might have been 33c per minute but I'm not sure. I have no idea what other services charge so I don't know if it's a good rate - a friend suggested it and as she seems canny I just took her word for it.
