Calling UK from Turkey

Options
Hi, Please could anyone give me any advice on the cheapest way to call home frm Turkey? I have Vodafone Passport but it's not available for Turkey and calls from my mobile are £1.65 per minute! I am staying in a hotel so will have access to a landline - is there a pre pay card/ number I can use to call home?

Any advice is appreciated as last time I ran up a £200 phone bill......

    you should find phone boxes on just about every street corner in Turky (in the popular areas anyway). You buy a phone card from any grocery shop/mini market, and use it in the public phones. Its much cheaper than using your mobile in Turkey.
  • If you have a laptop or netbook, you can use wifi to use Googlemail's phone facility, which will cost just a few pence a minute.

    We used it in the US this year, calls home for 2p/min.

    It is very expensive to use your mobile in turkey, but you can buy phone cards for five pounds

    Post removed as no response from OP makes me assume help is no longer required.

    It just annoys me that's all. Have a nice day.
