Whats the cheapest way to ring between 2 phones with very heavy use?

Hi

Right, my bf and I are spending a fortune on mobile costs between the 2 of us. We live a long way apart so we talk a lot on the phone.

I'm on a T mobile contract and he's on Orange, both have at least 5 months to run. We both have a spare phone so got orange PAYG sims and have been using their magic numbers thing which gives you 3 x 59 mins a day for 45p.... but if the call gets dropped then you lose one of your lives so to speak so its easy to be spending a lot more.

He can't get magic numbers ( a better version) added onto his Orange contract at the moment either.

I'd say we're both topping up about £10 each a week. Which for the amount of time we spend on the phone is quite a good deal but its still a lot of money. I could get an orange contract for £19 a month which would give me 3000 minutes a month to him under the contract magic numbers scheme but its an 18 month contract.

Sorry I've waffled... but I was wondering whats around thats a cheaper way of doing it. Happy to get a cheap contract with someone else or stay on PAYG.

Any help wouold be great :)
