    Get a Lebara simm card ( £1 ) calls to mobiles and landlines are 15p.
  • Have you tried unlimitedtext.co.uk

    This costs £3 per month which is added to your normal bill and you don't need to download any programmes. You just dial the number they give you first and on the first line of the text enter the number you want to send your message to. You can send any amount of international texts for £3 per month.

    ... i send an email to the customer services and they replied :

    " Unfortunately you are unable to use this service through your existing telephone numbers any longer. We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused but it is out of our hands. "

    Viber works very well for us. My daughter in London has the 3 £15 monthly top up (xxx minutes, xxxx texts and all you can eat data) she uses the data plan to sent texts through viber to us.
    We are in Luxembourg and have contracts with data and wifi at home. Free texts with viber all day long
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.
