calls to nepal mobile

Can anyone advise what is the best way to call mobiles in nepal from a virgin landline.

we currently use the talk anywhere 800 minutes for £29.00 on virgin - I believe this s better value that most calling cards or over ride providers such as phonecheap.

We don't have a BT landline

VOIP is not an option unfortunately.

Thanks for any help.

  • Is https://www.18185.co.uk a viable solution?
    They provide a freephone no (0808 1 703 703) for VM landline users.

    800 minutes to a mobile in Nepal for £29 sounds pretty good to me. I don't think it will be easy to find a better price.

    In fact, I had no idea this package existed... if you have to call somewhere like Cuba, where even the cheapest VoIP providers cost about 50p/min, this package is an absolute steal.

    Yeah i thought it was a good enough deal, but as always am on look out for better deal, the override providers like tele88 and phonecheap are around 6-8p a minute, plus connection charges, i think 18185 are around 20p min.

    but 800 minutes for £29 WORKS OUT AT 3.625p min.

    Thanks for your replies though

    I guess the catch is that the 800 minutes covers calls to anywhere, so they hope you'll use them up with UK calls rather than spending the whole 800 on calls to Nepalese mobiles.
