Re: Cheapest way to call Oz from UK?
In my opinion the best way to call anywhere in the world is to use this link. With this you just eneter the country you want to call and it gives you the cheapest connection. I use it all the time and they do vary from discount caller to caller and country. One is NOT always the cheapest to all countries. The only drawback is the long number you have to dial first but still 1p to mobiles in some places cant be bad!!

I use swiftcall cards. if you buy a £20 one it has £25 worth of calls on it. They do expire after about 90 days so you need to keep up on the calls to use them up

I'm with the dreaded NTL and I know when I looked into this last time, it was cheaper to use my mobile phone (Orange network) than use my home phone! ...lol.
Prices might have changed since, but I'm sure it was 35p per min with NTL, and 30p per min with Orange.
Anyway, does anyone know if there is any cards you can buy, or numbers you can call b4 you connect like in Oz, and get a discounted rate?
Much appreciate any pointers on this one! ...
