Calling someone's UK mobile while they're abroad

I wondered if anyone knew how much it costs roughly to call someone with a UK mobile while THEY are abroad (USA), but while you are in the UK (either from a landline or UK mobile)...?

I know the person being called would have to pay a 'roamers' fee, but what about the caller – is there a way of keeping it cheap?

Thanks very much!

    All you will be charged is for the UK leg of the call. So it will either come out of your Inclusive Minutes,or your charged what they charge to call an own network call,or cross network call depending on what network they are on.

    If you go to the MSE UK call checker it gives you the cheapest Landline To UK Mobile rates.You can pay as little as 2p a minute.

    Yep it's the same to call them whether they are in the UK or abroad. They pick up the extra cost for being abroad.
