    Don't know if anyone mentioned togglemobile.co.uk here but they have a SIM for travellers with huge savings compared to roaming charges.
    You get 9 numbers for use in 9 different countries. Same rate of 3p landline, 9p Mobile, 9p per text when in any of these countries. Same for calling back to UK.
    I have'nt used them as yet so this is not a recomendation.

    Like to hear from anyone who has.
    No 'newbies' or 'trolls' please ;)

    I foumd.them.unreliable in aus and nz. the switching system.wasnt so smooth. in particular the incoming aus.number didnt work. also the rates were.not.very good. better to put a.bit.more.effort in for a.local.sim, which are easy.in the supported countries.

    might make sense if crossing many countries. tue hassle of activating.each number for me was close to actually getting.a.proper sim.

    its still handy.to have in.reserve... but I still have wasted credit.on it even now
    Order of events: Banks lose our money -> get bailed out -> were inflating GBP to cover it -> now taxing us -> next will grab your funds direct -> things get really desperate to balance the books. What should have happened?: banks go bust and we lost our money much quicker

    Hi All

    I would like to know what is the cheapest option to call ireland voip 0035376 number range.
    I will be calling from a landline. I do not want to call direct as this is expensive. The cheapest option I have come across is 4ppm via a 0843 provider.

    It would be very helpful if someone can find a cheaper option i.e 3ppm or less. I don't mind if it's a 0843/0844 provider or any other option.

    Many thanks in advance

    I used that my friend, but it only shows for landlines and mobiles in Ireland.
    I have tried many providers of the landline service but they don't connect to ireland voip, some of the mobile providers I have tried too and they don't connect either.

    I did check before I posted here. If anyone has any experience in calling Ireland voip 0035376 numbers cheaply, then it will be nice of you to share.

    TIA

    It appears that it is normally treated for charging purposes as an Irish National Number ( Non Geographical) .Good luck with your quest:D

    Yep, this is true. From what I've found, cheap call providers will prevent calls to that destination and will label them [BARRED ZONE]

    Looks like the only way to call it would be directly!

    Skype Out handles all the non geo eg 084x numbers I've thrown at it. Invaluable if you are abroad and need to reach such a number but also to avoid Virgin Media's maverick charges on such numbers.

    Duh been doing that for ages, but there are some tough nuts to crack out there that really will not transfer you from the SayNo number you find to the dept. you want.
