...every little newsagent near me seems to have posters in the window for phone cards that give good deals to countries and planets that I've hardly heard of, and curiosity drew me when last there to see if UAE was on the list, and there it was - not sure of the exact cost mind. The other easy option is Skype Out...

10p sounds like a bargain, I called from my mobile and it was about £2 a minute.

Use skype or sign up for 1 of the people that do international calls, you basically put credit on your account and instead of dialling out as standard you have to put a code in first eg 0210 +971 etc

2 plastic cups and a (very long) piece of string will do it for free..

in fact you could charge other people for using it..
