Cheap calls from Oz to UK?
A bit of a regular this one, but I followed the last thread and didn't find any answers ... :(
From the UK I could call Australia for 1p per minute, which was fantastic! http://www.telediscount.co.uk/accessnumbers.php Does anyone know of anything similar the other way round? Best I've got is a card that is supposed to be 1.7c per min, but EVERY time I've tried it won't connect to ANY UK numbers, which is handy! ... :rolleyes: and I've since give the card to the boy to call his girlfriend over here. Anyone know of anything? I'm aware of skype and all that, but the ppl I want to call don't have a PC and I'm looking for the good ole copper wire linkup. Cheers. |

We have a HappyCalling card - paid $30 and got $33 of credit.
Dial a local number and then it's another 99c to connect and then 0.5c per minute. I think the first time I used it, it told me I had 9000+ minutes of talk time! |
Re: Cheap calls from Oz to UK?
we use this and it lasts a long time
Just ask at your local newsagents petrol station , video store etc http://www.cardcall.com.au/shout-card.html |

Re: Cheap calls from Oz to UK?
Try the woolworths card available at the service desk, you only pay a local call to connect, then you can dial long distance in OZ for 4 c a min, (massive saving when you dial interstate and get put on hold :eek: ) and overseas calls are LESS than that, think its about 2c for UK, lines are usually pretty good too.

Re: Cheap calls from Oz to UK?
If you find Skype lacking try Gizmo, Paul. Same deal as Skype, 25cents a minute to call the UK, similar style of program, but we found the call quality to be much better than Skype. We've just bought a Call-In number with them (an 01453 number like our existing local call code) which is similarly excellent. Think if you sign up you get 25cents free so you can make a quick test call to try it out. :)

The mobile numbers and local calls worked out very expensive, so i have got $49 VODAPHONE worth $230 of calls. Mobile is next to the house phone and we use this for all other calls. Just hoping it works out cheaper. |
