Cheap cable calls

Does anyone have any recommendations for cheap calls from cable lines? (virgin media) I've read about first:telecom on these forums - are there others? Any reviews of first:telecom?

I'm looking for services that supply auto diallers rather than having to dial a code or number first - I'm pretty sure my girlfriend will forget to dial the special number before each call!!
Thanks in advance.

    Used to use First Telecom when I was on cable, a friend down the road to me still does, with the attached box making it easy.

    There are fewer and fewer options these days.

    All the others I'm aware of involve a freephone 0800 or 0808 access number rather than providing a box.

    FT's minimum call charge has been increasing - currently 6.1p - but still beats the socks off using virgin direct of course.

    (the box can be unplugged at weekends and plugged back in again on Monday if you get free weekend calls)
