Cheapest international calling cards

Hi all,
Just wondered if anyone knew of the best place to get an international calling card from? I want to phone my boyfriend on his mobile when he's out in Nigeria early next year. Unless there is a cheaper solution?
Many thanks
Emily

    I got one from tesco today - for canada and US it is 2p a minute so good for me. Nigeria is 6p per minute
  • In terms of calling cards try the local corner shops as then they could find you the best calling card with most minutes to nigeria.

    If you want to ring him from a mobile you could use a Lyca Mobile/Nomi Mobile sim card which would be around 5-10p a minute otherwise there are many voip providers that have prices of around 5p a minute to call Nigeria if you want to call him from your pc.

    I know a friend who uses My Nigeria Mobile, which is pretty cheap, but he calls a lot during the month. www.mynigeriamobile.co.uk
