Jeanette Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I'm planning on phoning my friend, who's currently in Australia, this weekend.Anyone got any tips on how to make this call cheaper than the usual rates. I'll be phoning mobile to mobile.Found this website via moneysavingexpert.com, but I'm not sure if it's sound - especially since it asks for card details.Welcome to 18185.co.uk: UK's Leading Telephone Discounter!

Adam Easy Wishes Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 There's a site somewhere called Rebtel that does the job. There's a way that you can get the calls for free, and they tell you how to do it on the website.Other than that, Skype will let you call mobiles or landlines at the cost of 0.014p or 0.012p per minute respectively but the minimum top-up is 10 unless you sign up for the 3-per-month-unlimited-calls package (which will only allow you to call landlines I think).

Mums tend to be a tad thrifty so I imagine that's a good deal.No bugger I know ever signs into their Skype including me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexytunk Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 The cheapest way to do this, would be to just not bother calling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 JDS :: mobile [cheap international calls from UK mobiles with JustDialStudent]This is probably one of the cheapest ways to do it - and certainly the least hassle, I imagine?

Jeanette Posted April 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I'm gonna give the Rebtel a go. Apparently if I call my friend on the local number and she hangs up within 10 seconds and calls me on her local number for me then the call will be completely free... any minutes used would just come out of my contract.It could all fail miserably. But I won't really lose any money because I'm not putting credit on anything, so if needs must I'll just have to phone her back normally and see what the damage is!!

Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
