Dear All,
Just wanted to bring to your attention a cheaper calling card system which doesn't seem to be on Martin's International Call checker.
My wife uses it to call her folks in China. Calls to China (landline and mobile) are 0.25p per minute, Martin's cheapest option to China is 0.5p per minute. You dial an access number which is a geographical landline so included in your monthly minutes on a mobile, or use something like 18185. Calls to the USA are 0.2p per minute which looks to be cheaper than any on Martin's list.
You buy a PIN number (which can be topped up), then dial the local access number then enter the PIN, then enter the number you want to call. The website is www-idtcalls-com/uk replace the - with . as I'm a new-ish user so can't paste links!
The card my wife uses is called the Supergold. There's no connection fee, or service fee you just pay for any minutes you use.
Hope it's of some use to someone!
Cheers,
David

That's true for Chinese landlines but China mobiles on Callsdiscount are 1p per minute, 0.25p per minute on IDT.0
