Hi
Can anyone please help me out with this one?
I am trying to work out the cheapest way to call a UK mobile number whilst they are in Europe from a UK landline number (or mobile if that works out cheaper)...

Any help would be great.

Thanks :)

    The fact that they are in Europe makes no difference to you (it makes a big difference to them, as they will have to pay roaming charges to receive the call). You just call their normal UK mobile number and pay normal rates.

    The cheapest way if you have a contract mobile phone is probably to use any cross-network inclusive minutes you have.

    If you're dialling from a landline, use the UK Callchecker (http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/ukcallchecker/)

    Some other posters on here recommend the Primus Penny Mobile 2 option, which is a CPS provider that can be used from a BT line. This costs 20p for a call of up to 20 minutes. Search this forum for more details.

    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
