Calling UK from South Africa

sergeant121

I'm going to be in South Africa over the coming few weeks and will want to phone home on Christmas Day.

Does anyone know if there are firms like Telestunt, Ratebuster, Telesavers, Telediscount etc. I could use to call the UK from South Africa?

One more try.

Has anyone got any ideas?

it is a callback service but the cost is 14cents which is about 7p at today exchange rate.

Don't know if it will help but you can also get VOIP telephone line and if you can use the internet, use that to make a call. For example http://www.sipgate.co.uk/

Also you can get an 0870 number which the person in UK you want to call can call instead and the calls are diverted to your landline in South Africa at no extra charge. Which even if you pay the person who calling the 0870 number, it would be cheaper than the callback route.
