Can you call to a landline?
If so, it's 5p per call on the top of your standard rate for calling UK landlines (you can use inclusive minutes).0 -
If you and your boyfriend have landlines have a look at the Irish Equivalent of 18185 www.13434.ie0

Your friend can call you for 7c/min via the above mentioned www.13434.ie.
You can call him for 10c/min using the same.
I don't think you'll be able to find anything much better than this.0 -
If you both have either a laptop / desktop avaliable have you considered VOIP ? most offer free of charge calls between registered users anywhere in the world ie sipgate or both register with gmail for voice and or video 0

It amazes me that calls to places such as India, Poland, Ghana etc, are 1p a minute for mobile calls yets to call our neighbouring country costs 14p+!:dance:Quidco Payments In 2011 - £724.21 :dance:
June: £43.15/July: £51.22/August: £90.60/September: £29.75/October: £284.07/November: £171.08/December: £29.220 -
In fact Ghana mobiles are 13p+ for calling from mobiles.
Some remote countries can be cheap for you because mobile users there pay for incoming calls.0
