Welcome to the MSE forums jcanty.

It'll cost you the same to call that UK mobile as it would if it was in the UK (regardless of where the mobile happens to be in the world). The MSE UK CallChecker will show you the cheapest way.

However, it'll cost the mobile's owner quite a lot per minute to receive your calls.



BT residential landline? Click HERE to see my '6 steps to reducing costs' (last updated 14-October-2009). Read the full MSE article too though - it's a money-saving read.

Doesn't matter if the mobile is next to you or in another country, the cost to call it would be the same, as it wouldn't be fair to charge someone a completely different rate to call the mobile as you might not know it's not in the UK. It is the person you call who picks up the difference.



It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

Default I was reading...

.... on this other site that calling a British mobile from Sweden was only only 12p a minute, and that is if you were using a service and calling from a mobile phone on the Swedish side. Amazing that it is really getting that cheap. I include the link to the article so anyone can read more.
