Advice wanted- calling UK from USA

  • Skype and other Internet phone services occasionally suffer from poor voice quality. For consistently high-quality calls, keep your land line and buy a prepaid phone card. Our favorite is from NobelCom. Its long-distance rates are about a penny a minute, and to place a call you just dial a toll-free number and the number you're calling. No special codes are needed. Enjoy your calls with Nobel phone cards.

    get a local prepaid mobile sim in USA and then use http://www.futurephone.com/ which operates like simplyfone and yourcall here. You dial a local idaho number and then call UK and that way you only pay for your mobile minutes and nothing on top. if you are near a landline then use prepaid calling cards. as advised earlier use ones that dont have surcharges. you can buy a lot of them over the internet also.

    now i have a question..what if your calling moblie to moblie?
    would you get the same price to? i looked on the site but
    it doesnt say if that is the price for moblie to landline
    or moblie to moblie does that not matter?
    like say i am in the states i use my moblie and than call to a moblie here in uk
