Cheap calls from abroad on mobiles??

Great site, but most of the info on mobiles relates to calls made from the UK to abroad - does anyone know of a way to reduce the cost of calling home on a mobile? Specifically from France in my case? Can you buy 'french' sim packs to use in your mobile? Mine is a Samsung D500 on T-mobile if it makes any difference.

    They have sims from SFR,but i think that you would be cheaper buying the sim whilst you are in France.
    Also,has your phone been unlocked? Is it sim free? Because a French sim will not work in it otherwise.
    Hope this helps. :)

    SIMs are always cheaper in their home country. Secondhand ones on eBay have often expired.

    The cheapest way to do it is to use a foreign SIM and callback service, which relies on the fact that tariffs are different in different directions. You trigger a call to you that presents you with a dialtone.
