    I'd be extremely surprised if pre-paid cards worked out cheaper than 18185 - though it may depend on what sort of calls she typically makes (UK/International/Landline/Mobile etc..).

    Where is your M I L calling, it might be cheaper to use phone cards to some Intl Destinations, but i doubt their beat 18185 UK Geographical and Mobile Rates. EG. Just 5p connection to call a 01/02/03 number from a BT Landline using 18185 and speak as long as you like.
