    Skype.

    Even better: tell everyone that you have gone away and that you will call when you come back.

    Depends on your tariff. With O2 Travel; There's a connection charge of 50p when you make or receive calls between countries in Europe then its free to talk for up to 60 minutes.

    Calls can be free for O2 customers, by using wifi. They just deduct minutes from your monthly allowance:

    It doesn't get any cheaper than Skype - it's free.

    We are in france and use a Toggle sim from 0044.com Works fine in an unlocked mobile and have made several calls to UK and local, so far spent £1.04 so very happy.

    Ditto, I'm using a Togglemobile sim and very pleased with it. The 0044 sim seems to be a re-branded Togglemobile sim but it's cheaper to buy direct.
    After on-line top-up bonus it's 2.7p per min to most places I call and free incoming.
