Going to USA with wife & kids, we will both be taking our phones incase we get split up (I am on Tesco & see's on Vodaphone) how do I find out the cost of me phoning my wifes mobile when we are away.

Going to Menorca for 7 days next week.....my mobile is unlocked...would it be better for me to try and pick a sim card over here or wait till we get to menorca then try and get one.....Would like to get one before we go as we are staying in a remote area...............cheers

I'm going on a Med cruise covering Spain, Italy, Corsica and Gibraltar. It costs a fortune to call and receive on my mobile. I have an old Motorola simless phone that I can take with me. What's the best SIM option for me to buy? Is there one that covers the whole area, or do I have to buy a card in every country?

Hi there,

Thanks for the great article on International Roaming, but I will start a job on a cruise ship shortly where everyday I will be in a different country. With this, what would be the best way for friends to call me cheaply and for me to make both local calls in that country, and calls to the UK?

Thanks

Thanks. I have an old Motorola handset,which is unlocked but how willI know if it's compatible with this card? Don't want to buy it and find it doesn't work.

Not sure, do other sim cards work in it? I imagine if they do the 0044 one will too.

Hello all

Has anyobe used uk2abroad to call home from the USA please. It looks like a reasonable option but would be please to hear anyones opinion.

We will have skype for regular calls from our son but want a way for him to stay in touch as he will be on the move a bit as well.

Thank you:)

off to Turkey in 3 weeks, and having been stung with huge mobile bills on holiday in previous years, decided to plan a bit ahead...

How did you get on deebee? Do you have any advice for cheap calls?
Some of my family are going to Turkey in September. They will just travel then think Dooooh how do I phone home?

Is it cheaper to phone their direct room number rather than reception, is that possible? How much is it for them to text me in advance? bear in mind only a few calls needed?

Has anyone any experience/knowledge about this site/company

Seems a fair enough deal, to be able to receive calls, or am I missing something?
