I take your point but you still would have ISP charges on contract and so a portion of this cost would apply. If either end were on PAYG the charge would be more evident.

I use Skype and voicecheap for free or virtually free calls but again I think there is some merit in using Vodafone/eurodirect as this is not location or equipment dependent (other than the mobile phone). Also you can make multiple follow on calls within the hour.

Sometimes the quality of a totally voip connection is less than perfect. Perhaps the use of fring and skype on mobiles will also start to change things. I notice masmovil offer 3 cents per MB and are soon to give users 20 MB per month free.

Not that this will be of use to you missbad but for others here I use Freecall.
5p connection, call free.

If he has a land line in the UK, get him to call you.

Our lot in the UK use Telediscount all the time. You dial 0844 861 7878, then you get a message telling you that it only costs 1p per minute. And there is no charge to establish the call.
then you dial the number you want in Spain.

You do not have to register with this company, and the cost for these calls is paid by whoever you pay your bill to. There is no seperate bill to pay.
You can use them only for phoning abroad, easy peasy...

Cheers

I use www.sipgate.co.uk when I registered I chose a UK geographical number [18 months ago] so it was a local number [0191] friends and family could call us up costing only the price of a local call. Guess what? Now Im in Spain with my 0191 number dect phone all our friends call for free with BT options 3 [ i think] or standard mobile minutes and using SIPGATE1000 I get 1000mintes every month for £5.90. :)

Most importantly the offshore installation I work on only allows UK destination based calls for free. So Im calling Hondon for free and the OH is never off the phone to her Mum.

Happy Days

edit: and my Nokia N95 automatically connects to sipgate when I walk into the house through the wireless network, another dect phone effectively.

edit edit: missed calls redirect to your chosen number or voicemail

If your hubby has "free" talk minutes on his mobile (and can't get to a laptop to use SKPYE, etc) then he can CALL YOUR UK SKYPE NUMBER - which comes through to your PC/Laptop. This is what my contacts do.

Of course it inly works if your PC/Laptop is on.

Once installed you can buy a SKYPEIN telephone number for about €30 p.a. and it's classed as a UK landline number.

Even if he hasn't got 'free' minutes in the mobile contract - he'll only pay the land line charge.

UK Landlines to SKPYE Number is less than 1.5 p.p.m.

So all in all there are loads of ways to talk cheaply between UK / Spain....

... however that means some people call you and NEVER know when to get off the line ;);)
