I'm using http://gtmobile.com.au/ (part of http://www.lycamobile.com.au/en/
Irish phone company) who are also using Telstra network, excellent for
international calls.

Then ALL of their customers would want 12cpm and that would send them to the

ISPone & have an agreement to use Telstra network!?

But then they would lose the much higher revenue they already have.
They dont have to pay the droids that answer the phones either.

Ported my wife to Amaysim last Friday, and mine today in 3 minutes. Took a little longer to set up the APN parameters
and get data working, but very happy with Amaysim already. Network isn't as good as Telstra, but really doesn't worry me.
Got 10 gig data on each phone, and $15 credit on a pay as you go. See how I go with this. Easily changed anyway.
Can tether the wife's iPOD and iPAD when we travel.
Cheers Don...

Well, the Dutch 'Telstra' - KPN - has several sub-brands which have
different and often lower rates than their parent company (and use the
same network). So even for a presumed commodity as a mobile service,
there apparently is room and 'need' for different brands/product_models.
FWIW, the one I'm using has a rate which is quite close to (AUD)
12cpm!The master company's (KPN's) rate is three times as high.
(KPN). And another sub-brand even has a 20% higher rate than the master
company.
What differentiates the products to justify the price differences?

All in all, also this is YMMV, buyer-beware, etc..
For example my (Dutch) Vodafone service is much more expensive for
calls than my KPN-subbrand. But Vodafone's day-bundle for data is much
bigger for the same price and automatic (i.e. charged when you use it,
not charged when not) and abroad, in some 60 countries, Vodafone charges
local call rates with a 'high' flagfall: A call in Oz costs the same as
a local Dutch call, plus (about) AUD 1 for the whole call. (Actually
this was such a good deal, that they withdrew it for new use, but if
you're already on it, they'll continue to honor it, until you 'decide'
(possibly by accident) to enroll in one of their new plans.)
So, like with anything in life, it's impossible to say "Brand/subbrand/
product X is better/cheaper/<whatever> than brand/subbrand/product Y.".
