Hi
We use a Victory card for calling UK - you can get these from any newsagent (not sure if it's only Victoria though). It works out extremely cheap - I think around 2.5c per minute, although I bought a $50 card which gave me $56 worth of calls. I've used it for about 2-3 hours (I think) calling the UK and still have $49 left.

So 0123456789 becomes +44123456789.
Then you can phone direct, mobile to mobile, as if you were in the same country.
Strangely enough, it's sometimes cheaper than phoning another Oz mobile as well!!

Rule of thumb - if you *must* call a UK mobile bear in mind the rates will probably be higher, so ask the person for a landline nearby and call that immediately.
