We're having our first Wollongong Silicon Beach Drinks this week - Thursday night @ 5:30pm @ Hotel Illawarra. We'll either be near the fire or in the dungeon behind the main bar - since people might not know faces, we've decided to have a mascot - picture attached! Hope to see some of our south c

There might be an android app out there that will forward a gsm voice call over wifi VoIP. If it exists then you could just leave a cheap android phone plugged in at a friends house in AU and you wouldn't incur any per call costs (other than data). Another option would be to get a skype in number

You can port a local number to a local voip provider like faktortel or others and then use that directly or connect it to a ip pbx. However you can't do that with a mobile number to my knowledge. So you'd have to do as you suggest, forward the mobile to a local voip number. IP pbxs let you co

Hi Chris, Sounds like you're at the point where you'd be a good candidate for Startmate. We look for: • Technical founders seeking help with strategy — commercialisation, marketing, legal, finance • Small founding teams, ideally two (but we've worked with more) • Interesting technical products tha
