International Calls using Orange Magic Number and International Calling Cards

Options
Hi,

I currently use international calling cards to call Australia from my Orange Pay Monthly mobile. I understand that by calling the landline number on the calling card the call will use my "inclusive minutes".

Does anyone know if there are calling cards available that provide an Orange Mobile Number? I could then add this number to my Magic Numbers thus avoiding my calls using up my inclusive minutes?

Thanks in anticipation....

    If there was the Orange (Call) Traffic Police would pick up the fact that it was being used for intl call forwarding purposes and bar it, and if lots of people kept choosing the same magic number they would soon be on the case.

    From the T&C
    "A Magic Number can only be a personal phone number managed by Orange UK on the Orange Mobile UK network or a 2nd line number on the Orange UK Broadband Access network as part of any eligible Orange home package. On entry of a Magic Number, Orange will check to ensure that this number is within permitted number ranges and not one that has been excluded by Orange in its absolute discretion "


    Out of interest how much do you pay to call Oz on your phone cards ?

    Do you have a smart phone ,do the people your calling have one if so consider Viber for free worldwide calls.

    It offers an application for Android, BlackBerry OS, iOS, and Windows Phone that allows users to make free phone calls and send free text messages to anyone who has the application installed. Viber works on both 3G and WiFi networks

    You will need a mobile data plan to use it if not connected by wifi.
