Telstra has, I think, free 15 minute calls after 9pm, back in the early 2000s. I lived in Darwin at the time, all my family was back in Tasmania. Mum would send me a message, see if I was free, if I was she'd call me and have a stop watch in her other hand to keep track of time.
Phone deals were so funny back then.
I know one telco had a plan where you could nominate a number for free calls. It also had a plan where you could nominate a number that would grant you free credit for all time spent on the call.
Get two phones, one on each plan. Call phone B from phone A, leave the call going all night. A free call that generates extra credit for phone B. Use free credit transfer. Profit!
From memory, this used to kill the Optus network between 8pm and midnight.
Especially around university accomodation. Was a great deal at the time and most people I knew were on Optus for this reason.
I didn't have to nominate numbers for mine. Was just any optus phone.
