I have O2 (11month free, 12month contract 400mins a month - couldnt resist ) and Virgin (£10 for 300mins/300txt for virgin customers) and I use the numbers provided in http://www.yourcallworld.com to make international calls. Its excellent, never any problems.

So anyone who makes international calls, I suggest u have a look here.

O2 started charging but apparently its for new customers only, doesnt affect existing customers. Well Ive not seen any charges on my bills so no probs there.

My alternative is to use Alpha Telecom. They have something which charges you 1p a minute only. You call a mobile number and calls to that comes out your free mins. Only charge is 1p a minute. Bargain! Only problem is, its only Mon-Fri.

So I have 700mins and free international calls, cant be bad., I cant remember last time I used my landline to make a call.

If you are unsure about whether u will be charged, then go to the website, select your country and it will tell you.

hurrah

Orange have now started charging. Virgin will shortly start charging, Its also been suggested that O2 will start charging ALL customers to call 0844/0845/0870 numbers shortly.

MSE Archna. The article needs an update.

If thats the case then cheapest may be the 1p a minute calls.
I know Alpha Telecom already do that and I was using that prior to discovering http://www.yourcallworld.com
But now /www.yourcallworld.com are offering rates at 1p a minute as well now.

What about 07755 numbers? Have just checked callworld and they are showing that I can make a call from my mobile to an Italian land line using an 07755 call through for FREE still. Anyone any comments and also they are showing access to an Italian SIM not available so any help on a cheap way to call an Italian Sim would be appreciated (froma mobile, I have a way from my landline thanks).:T

My main fone is Vodafone (other half has the 700mins to play with) and I foned them up to confirm charges. Its dear.

I suggest you fone your provider up and ask, or make a quick phone call and check your bill.

Now, I signed to Orange 2 months ago just for this 07744/55 numbers. Since the terms and conditions changes, is there any way I can break my contract?

drek, why does your company make such a habit of slagging off its rivals?

most people would count that behaviour as rather unprofessional
