Telephoning in europe
In the UK I use cheap international calls from a variety of providers, where you call a number and then connect to the counrty you want at a very cheap rate: such as Hungary is 3p and UAE is 11p.
Is there anything remotely similar anywhere in europe using the local networks? I have tried searching in Hungary, which is of main interest at the moment, in every language, and can't find anything. Can anyone offer some advice or point me in the right direction, apart from using skype?

Re: Telephoning in europe
I was hoping for some codes on the mobile, as in the UK, when I don't have access to the internet. If I get the inetrnet, sometimes the access is so slow, might as well send a letter.
Surely it can't just be the UK and US that have these codes!

Re: Telephoning in europe
Cards turn out expensive, would have preferred a short code for local networks, but no-one knows of any so far. Had a look at TuMe, thought I had found what I am looking for, but needs a wifi connection. This is sometimes impossible in Hungary, believe me. They say they have the same as the west but it really has a lot to be desired, in everything, not just communications.
At present it is sticking to good old SMS to inform people when I have found a wifi outlet to skype them, which isn't often can you believe! Then the signal is so poor it reverts to sound only, and soundslike you're in the wheeltappers and shunters club.
Yes I use g3 and other phones, costly. Need a short code on the local telephone network, if anyone comes up with something.
Really appreciated to all beforehand.
