It is clear that is very easy for us in the UK to make cheap calls to numbers abroad.

I'm now interested in the most cost effective way of calling back to the UK when I'm on holiday. I'm going to Tenerife soon, can anyone advise how to obtain the cheapest rates back to the UK? Is there any card or account I can setup before I go?

Thanks.

I was phoning my daughter in NZ for a while and came across a site called phonecards4u who sell a variety of cards. They seem to have calling cards that can be used from overseas to the UK but don't know the rates.  Incidentally the cheapest card for phoning NZ mobiles I found was 13.8ppm anyone do any better?

Bob,

Are you referring to UK to NZ mobiles @ 13.8ppm ? or NZ to NZ mobiles ?

Thanks

Well you dont get much from their website www.phonecards4u.co.uk on what their products are and what they cost. And they don't exactly try to help you with NO links to anywhere !!

try gotalk.co.uk. You have to set up an account like many others. When your abroad you dial a freephone access number, your PIN number then the number you want. I found that I could use my orange mobile to dial the access number for free(Amena network) and only got charged 8p a minute for the call back to the UK.

Try www.dialabroad.co.uk/spain/ looks cheap.

Try Eurocomm.  It is a call back service that works well from a specific location.  The only downside is that you have to let them know the number you want to use.

If you have a mobile try :-
