To be honest, every time I look at VOIP (my family is in Australia) I 
discover that the prices have once again dropped for PSTN-accessible 
alternatives.  I presume these guys are all using VOIP for the back-end 
but neither I nor, crucially, my folks, need to learn, implement and 
debug some software system.

I considered buying my Mum and IP phone (she has broadband) but at a 
minimum cost of fifty squid, that buys a lot of 2p/minute phone calls!

(www.18866.co.uk requires no up-front or monthly charges and does 2p/min
to Australia and free UK landline calls.  I don't work for them, just a 
happy customer.  They also have the nifty feature of allowing you to 
register any BT landline to phone from, which means you can make calls 
on a friend's phone and have it billed to you.  Used that for Xmas Eve 
calls to Australia.)
