I found this article in the Sunday Times on cutting the cost of using your mobile phone abroad.

It doesn't differentiate between UK networks' payg and contract tariffs, or mention the international option on some of the latter, reducing eg O2 from 94p to 20p.

Foreign SIMs are always cheaper to buy in their home country; it is easy to overpay here by a factor of 3 to 20 times. No mention at all of 2 options - calling cards and callback - to make the cheapest calls from a foreign SIM.

On Vodafone Passport you can run a series of calls together by using UK or foreign calling cards and only pay one 75p connection fee. I wonder if 1899 or 18185 recognise the caller ID from abroad ...

So it's interesting, but rather incomplete
