Prepaid calling card operator, Tel.Pacific (ASX: TPC) has launched a prepaid mobile offering targeted at international callers, putting it in direct competition with recent market entrant Lebara Mobile of the UK.

Lebara Mobile -  the UK based mobile service provider and recent entrant to the Australian market that specialising in providing low cost international calls from mobiles - has cut its already low rates to as low as one cent per minute for six destinations.

Just a month after entering the Aussie market, UK mobile services company, Lebara Mobile’s Australian business seems to be moving along nicely, with the company today announcing an additional 4,700 retailers will join the 3,800 outlets across the country already offering its mobile pre-paid recharges.
