OZtell is the first and one of the largest Voice over IP (VoIP) telephone company
in Australia, covering both the phone-to-phone and PC-to-phone markets,
offering both VoIP products and services.
OZtell strongly believes that the Internet's superior packet switching
technology and distance independent pricing will revolutionise the
whole telecommunications industry and has made heavy investments into
VoIP very early, reaping substantial benefits.
Back in 1996, OZtell jumped into Internet telephony gateway technologies
before many others and has been leading since. In order to move the
industry along during those early years, we even produced weekly videos
summarising the latest developments in telephony over the Internet.
Called OZtell Weekly, the video provided people interested
in this area with a quick high impact weekly update.
OZtell's original VoIP customers were organisations that purchased
VoIP equipment from us to implement their own VoIP networks.
Retail Telephone Service was the direct result of OZtell's need of
finding "guinea pigs" to test out the VoIP communication
and billing equipment we supply to our customers.
As it turned out, this "test run" resulted in substantial
revenue as well.
In recent years VoIP technology has become more widespread and cheaper,
the VoIP retail market has got more crowded and the margins have dropped.
Although OZtell has already expanded into the more lucrative VoIP
Systems and Net2Max Services, we have made a strategic decision to
remain a significant player in the market.
We believe that by being in a highly competitive mass market toughens
us up as an organisation and keeps our arrogance in check. So, we
just keep on leading as the others keep on following.

There are currently two OZtell retail telephone cards offering the
above UNIQUE benefits, a Non-rechargeable Phonecard and a Rechargeable
Phonecard (OZicard).
The non-rechargeable prepaid phone card is ideal for tourists, travellers,
and also the budget conscious. With designs by a host of renowned
graphic artists, combined with highly competitive calling rates and
limited print numbers these cards (which come in limited edition)
are fast becoming collectors' items.
These disposable phone cards are available from hundreds of selected
retail shops around Australia, New Zealand and Hong Kong. Look out
for the bright orange OZtell posters! These phone cards are the ONLY
non-rechargeable phone card in the world that enables you to manage
your call costs by providing detailed real-time call statements over
the phone as well as the web.
The Rechargeable Phonecards are ideal for high volume users of long
distance call services. They can top-up their balance using the large
number of different channels mentioned above. Another major benefit
is that it comes in the form of an OZicard, which means the functions
and benefits of the Net2Max service are available to the Rechargeable
Phonecard User as well.
Rechargeable OZprepaid accounts are available directly from OZtell
or from selected OZtell resellers.
