Do Tesco Internet Phones work in AbuDhabi
Sorry about this, yes I'm new, but I checked out Wiki and previous threads, but unable to find an answer. I've got a Tesco Internet phone back here in the Uk and phone Abu Dhabi daily at a cost of 17p a minute (which is better than over £1 a minute on our landline). Anyhow I was told that if I send the other half a Tesco Internet Phone and he registers it online, but not as living in UAE, it would be even cheaper? Any UK expats out there using this system? Many thanks.

Thanks for that. Still confused over skype, some online users say its fine others say no. Do you have any knowledge on it? Have to say mine is very, very limited!

Thanks, but I'm struggling to send a PM. (I'm a newbee to all this) When I try it says that is restricted due to 3 or more posts? I'm sure I'm being dim here, but can you give me the 'idiots guide to send a pm'. Thanks.
