Which international company has the best line?

My husband is abroad and I can only contact him on a mobile. I have tried 1899, 0844 calls, and 05pence (who, funnily, charge 8p!) and the line isvery bad.
The only time I can hear him clearly is by dialling directly though BT, which is very expensive. I could pay BT extra each month to get a discounted rate but it is still going to be about 50p per minute through them.
Do any of the providers on the Callchecker list have better lines than most?

Call quality with VOIP is often a problem. Redialling can help but the costs mount with each connection charge. You haven't said where "abroad" is. I always get a clear line to Malaysian mobiles with voipuser (www.voipuser.org). They give you your own dedicated number that you map to the number you want to call. The advantage of this is that you do not get charged if the call does not connect.0

He is in Egypt, using a Vodafone mobile. He has a UK Virgin Mobile one but bought the Egyptian SIM card as it had a better connection.0

He can call you on his mobile for about 35p per minute using his Vodafone Egypt SIM.0
