Hi, 

My dad is currently in the UK but has to call someone very regularly (several times a week) in France (landline). What is the cheapest way to do this please? He also needs free roaming when back in france so he can use his mobile when he's there (very occasionally). Can anyone help please?

Thanks,
Rachel

    You could use a VOIP provider (eg Voipfone.co.uk) on a mobile app which as long as he doesnt sign up to other services would be no standing charge and 2p a minute for calls

    If you could persuade the recipient of the call to use a mobile then there would be cost free options

    Lebara and Lyca both offer 30 day bundles which include 100 international minutes (France included) and EU roaming. Prices start from 99p (Lebara) or 1p (Lyca) per month for 6 months - see the deals here:
