Free international calls from your mobile

Don't know if this has been posted before but : 0845/0844/0870 numbers come out from your free allowance on o2, so if there is a number with that prefix for the country you want to call on https://www.just-dial.com then you can call with your free minutes. This saves on phone cards. I use this method to call hong kong/china free from my mobile.

    In that case, you need to look at different possibilities - usually a different SIM card in an unlocked phone, and use a calling card or callback service.

    Are there similar callthrough numbers abroad - in some places, yes, but the question of whether they are "free" from inclusive minutes does not arise, as visitors will have a pay as you go SIM.
