or go with VOIP. I use a VOIP system to ring the uk everyday for business. It costs me 1.5p minute (thats uk money) per minute whereas I used to pay 8p a minute when I was in the UK and I was only 40 miles or less from people. Go figure that one out... Oh yeah BT!! What an institution that is!!
Skype I use for video calling as skype to skype is free but you can also do phone chat aswell for free I think.
Other systems i think is MSN, ichat on a mac and many others.

UKDesigner - I use Skype to call UK, and while calls to landlines are cheap, calls to mobile phone are extremely expensive - almost 10 times more than calling landlines. Do you have the same issue?ukdesigner wrote:or go with VOIP. I use a VOIP system to ring the uk everyday for business.

I only use skype for family stuff really. Video chat mainly. I use a VOIP system for my business. I set-up a local 0845 number in the UK so that my clients could call me very easily rather than trying to go through skype. It all came with the package and I think I only pay 7.5p a minute for calls to mobiles. Very cost effective, for me anyway. The company I used was German, typical German company, ultra efficient and very good quality so I can't complain. Have had very few problems and my clients are happy! What more could I ask for.

I used that for a while, but IIRC it only applies for the first ~6 months of your contract, and Phoenix is cheaper than 018's normal rates.MblSH wrote:Starhub had (still has) IDD018 promotion for last two years with free idd to 18 countries including major ones like us, uk, canada, etc. when calling from mobile.
Of course, there's still mobile usage charges, but if you don't talk that much its very convenient

I used to use this.
You may want to try if it gives free call to your country.
