Ideas for calling a UK mobile

Hi Guys,
Hoping for a bit of advice really!
I currently am on O2 Simplicity and have used up my monthly minute allowances, meaning I'm on the awesome 20.7p minute charge for peak or off-peak standard calls hurrah.
Unfortunately I have quite a few very long phone calls to make. I don't have a home phone because it's a bit of a one off and I usually don't actually make calls!
Does anyone know what the cheapest service would be in order to do this? Skype Out for example or any other VOIP solutions, maybe a random £10 sim card with a load of free minutes that I could use in a throw away style phone?
Thanks guys!
Josh

Order a free Gifgaf sim from their website, (it should work in an 02 handset) and get yourself the appropriate "goodybag" £10 will get you 250 mins? Or £20 800 mins0

Wow that looks like an awesome deal! Also free gifgaf to gifgaf calls so if I get someone else a cheap disposable phone with one in, I guess that means unlimited calls completely free?
Exactly what I was looking for - Awesome![FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."

The more I look at it the more I like it too - Get a lot more "bang for my buck" with the £20 goodybag as well than O2 simplicity.. Is it worth considering moving my number to them and using them solely rather than just temporarily?[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."

Yeah, definitely. And yup, if someone else has a giff gaff sim in their phone, you can call each other for free0
