Option 2; puede bumili ka ng phone card sa asian store 10s sabihin mo philippines. pede maga mit yun mobile to mobile phone.
Option 3: mabuti pa bumili ka ng open line sa mobile phone at least dawala phone mo dito para ibang net work ang dalawa.
kung may mas mura australia mobile network calling to philippines "wala" walang mas mura kahit saan ka pa maghanap kaunti lang ang pagkakaiba ng bawat isa.
teka May mga sim card international mas mura ng kaunti kaya kailangan mo ng open line na mobile pero ganun din gagamitin mo credit card mo para bumili ka ng credits sa internet.
about yung globe or smart or sun check mo na lang.
My advise you dont use too much in mobile phone. unang una masama sa kalusugan yung panay gamit ng mobile phone at pangalawa you are calling overseas natural mahal yan. i think kung tanghali ka lagi tatawag in a months baka ang bills mo aabot ng $150 to S250+
kung malaki naman sahod mo you can pay that but is not practical. mas mabuti pa i-limit mo ang calls mo sa pinas tuwing tanghali at mag usap kayo lagi sa gabi sa skype. cheers

It is not the cheapest way to call Pinas, pero ok na rin kung walang landline.
@Yukishih - the $10 is on top of your $30+ monthly. Sorry nalito ako, kasi I'm on the cheaper rate na $30 with 6-month expiry.
