International Calls

Post by Phaidra »

I live in England and over the coming Holidays I will as every year be making international calls to places such as America and I'm wondering what would be the cheapest way to go about this? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Lasy year cost me a fortune as I just used a landline, it was like £1 a minute if not more, that's just ridiculous. Maybe International Cards? But do you actually get the minutes written on the cards?

well we get calling cards here in America,my family uses em to call Malaysia, half way across from seattle, WA. And yah, i believe theres a certain amount of minutes on the CARD itself, maybe its just the American calling cards that function like that.

I used one while I was there to call home, think I got about 20-30 minutes for 10 dollars which isn't bad at all. It had much more minutes printed on the card though.

I'll look into that seems the best option up to now, I'm unsure whther we get those calling cards in England, we probably do, I'll look into that too.
