www.ratebuster.co.uk is 1p a min with a bt land line I could not find on virgins site how much a 0844720 number would cost to call.

She could call virgin to see how much a call would cost to that number.

only other bet is an internatonal phone card.

Will she be calling a USA Landline or your UK Mobile.

If she is calling a landline she could use 18185 via their 0808 Freephone number.

Note VM charge considerably more then BT to call 0844/0871 numbers.

nice find ypaymore. I never knew that an virgin media landline would be more expensive.

Yes, she needs to open a www.18185.co.uk account and use their 0808 1 703 703 freephone gateway number to call the USA number - 1p/minute at all times (being freephone, VM can't rip her off if she uses that).

Virgin don't charge 1p/minute but 3.96p/minute at all times for calling 0844 72 numbers (i.e. 4 times what BT charges).
