Hi all, I want to setup a call where I want to 'dial in' my uncles in Asia as well as some relatives in Middle East Dubai.

How do I go about setting up something through the internet or home phone where I can have 4 - 5 people on the call at the same time talking to each other?

My home phone is with sky and they don't seem to do anything like this.
Thanks in advance

    As mentioned above, try Skype. You will need a headset, or speakers and a microphone connected to your computer, to set up a Skype account (if you don't already have one - it's free to set up!) and add some credit (Skype accept PayPal if you have an account), but once set up, you can call each of the numbers you need to have on the call - the call cost will be lower than BT international rates, but you will need to have a decently fast broadband connection. If any of your relatives are already on Skype, you can call them for free on the same conference call!
    I use Skype-Out when I need to record more than one person for a podcast I produce and it generally works well!

    I found this number 08719190075 which you can dial out to 2 international numbers - UK calls is free but I think you have to pay a monthly fee for international calls.
