Default phone vouchers when ringing UK

can any one recommend a good phone voucher to use for when ringing back to UK? I've been using 'peanuts' and it doesn't really seem to be that cheap. I'm always renewing it without making loads of calls or spending lots of time on phone.Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions, knows of better way? My family ring from UK using a no. they dial first and it only costs them 1p a min. to ring us.

Ask in Woolworths....we used to buy ours in there. Can't remember what it was called now, but it used to last ages....

We get ours from the Post Office. Its called Say G'day - we've used others but this is bar far the cheapest and lasts us a good couple of months.

Try GPS. I have used it for years and am very happy with it. About 800 minutes talk time to the UK for $10.00.

thanks everyone for all your help. As soon as i saw Ozcall i knew that was what we used in adelaide but i couldn't remember what it was called but it lasted for ages over there. This 'peanuts' only does about 3 x15mins calls for $20. Thanks!!

We used a phone card recently, and were surprised to find it charged a disconnect fee on every call. It advertised no connection fees !! But didn't mention the disconnect fee !!

Way back, we used to use One Tel, very cheap, but they closed down in Australia, although they still operate in the UK.

I now get free calls to the UK, much better

Try this - there is a card for every need... we have used this to get our current one that is 1c a min to the UK..

they do not acutally send out a card, just an email with the phone number to call, then your PIN code.

We find Ozcall is good for calling the UK.

Cheers

We use Daybreak Calling Card, I think it works out to be half a cent a minute, I spend loads of time talking to the UK, thats from S. Australia, it costs $10 then you can become a VIP member we top up to $30 and you get an extra $2, if you don`t want to do that then you just keep buying the $10 card, they are very easy to use, not sure if you can get it in all states we get it from our local newsagents, its worth asking in your state
