Hi, I know this is somewhere on the site, but can't find it - at the weekend (mostly, Monday also possible) what's the cheapest way for someone in the UK to call a UK mobile no in France - BT landline or use an override operator and if the latter, how do I check which one?
Call checker does not have UK on intl dialling as we're in the UK.
Sorry if dumb question.
thanks everyone

If it's a UK mobile number, then it doesn't matter where the mobile handset is that you are calling; you pay the same no matter where it is.
It is the recepient who will be charged to receive the call when abroad.0 -
So the answer is 0844 439 0003 - 3p/minute from a BT landline.Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0

thanks guys. Just seen the bad news on recipient's charges!
It's cheaper for recipient to leave UK mobile at home and use PAYG there to call and receive calls - euro for pence.
T mobile are 70p to receive or make calls. Orange France are 70c.
M*rde.
This belongs on the mobile thread as haven't the EU just told them to make it cheaper?
But need to thank you on this thread, Dave and Heinz0
