A good way to save calling abroad from ya mobile

Hi all

I just thought I would let you know about a way to make cheap overseas phone calls from your mobile.

I recently had family who were living abroad and I was always shocked by what the mobile networks charge per minute to an overseas numbers including mobiles.

For a 3 minute phone call to an overseas mobile number I was charged nearly £5.00 . This annoyed me quite a bit so I decided enough was enough and set about trying to find the cheapest possible way to call abroad.

for some unknown reason I was walking past my local newsagent when I spotted those posters offering phone cards with cheap rates for overseas calls.

I purchased one of the cards after asking the chap in the newsagents which was the best.

I not only found out that I saved a massive £20+ on calls but I could use these phone cards on my mobile cutting out those nasty charges that I would of had if I didn't have one of those cards .

but for for a good hour of calling a mobile to overseas mobile I paid just £5.

all the best spooky 25

:cool:

p.s these cards can be brought overseas as well which is good, as ringing home can be expensive , just check the local shops for these cards when you are abroad.

    Ringing home from your UK mobile when abroad won't be cheaper if you use a calling card.
