Cheap calls TO the uk?

Flooz

Not sure if I'm in the right place or not, but here goes anyway.

I've a number of 'access' telephone numbers that I use when phoning my brother in France, and I generally pay about 1p a minute.

I've been trying to find access numbers that he can use to call FROM France TO the UK, but am struggling a bit.

Also, he has a UK mobile (my old payg), but of course, if he needs to phone me, the roaming charges make it expensive. So, is there a similar system that he can use from a UK mobile in France, that will make it considerably cheaper for him to call me?

Many thanks for anyone's assistance.

Have a look at this list. The same parent company which operates some of the most popular UK companies has brands in other countries including France

Could he put a French SIM card in it?

The main reason he has a UK mobile, is so I can text him without running up a huge bill myself . He has a french mobile (company) but his employers don't like it when he uses it to phone/text the UK.

I shall have a look at the list and see if that throws anything up.

Thank you.

I am in a similar situation, where my wife phones her sister in Canada via Planet, at a cost of 1p per minute. I have just looked at the link posted above, and it seems that most of them require you to take out a billing contract of one kind or another. With Planet, we just make the calls and are billed by Virgin. No paperwork whatever. I would like to be able to recommend a similar arrangement to my sister-in-law.
