OK, cheap international telephone calls.
My wife is from Uganda and calls home a lot. Dialaround indicate calls to Uganda from 2p/min. So you call their access number, then dial the number you want to call in Uganda. The automated service then gives you another number to call - which is at 3p/min. OK, well that's fair enough for a mobile number. So we call the second access number....
...which then directs us to a new number to get through, except this one as at 8p/min, more than double the advertised price!!!
