get an orange PAYG camel sim or something similar, when she is free tell her to give you a one ring on your phone and call her back on a pre-agreed number e.g. the hotel she is staying at
DON'T call her on her orange phone and she shouldn't call you from that either would get very expensive,
texts to her will be free but every text she sends from her orange phone would be approx 40pYes Your Dukeiness0 -
If she is going to be in the US for more than a few days, just have her walk into a tmobile or AT&T store to get a prepaid sim. Or better yet, a walmart, target, etc. They will all have a sim/phone package for very cheap. Also, she can find calling cards at those places if that's what she wants.0

Cherck o2 as i think if she gets a bundle she can will use 4 texts for every 1 sent
For example:
100 texts
If she sends 1 to you she will have 4 deducted thus no charge fro it.
Als oset up a Skype account for free PC to PC calls over the internet. Do not use it on phone though!!!!0
