Cheapest calls from UK mobile to the US?
What's the cheapest way for me to make calls from the UK to the US? The other end won't be on WhatsApp.
I don't want to sign up to a plan or a subscription, just make a couple of long calls.
[I have to phone Yahoo Mail about email issues, the call/s may go on a while. I don't want to be stung by the mobile phone bill]

Call18866 have 2.5p per minute to USA and have a local rate number to dial to access the service, so thats probably included in your mobile free call package?

Someone on FB mentioned using Fongo to call Canada when they expected to be on hold for quite some time. Not tried it myself but would expect it would be the same rate for both Canada and the US.

Tried mytello and Viber for a call to my bank and it just wouldn’t connect, no idea why. Then I tried TwinPhone and the call went through, no problems, and the sound was good. A 15 minute call cost me about 30-40 cents. No subscription either, you just top up

Not used it personally but if you have a three sim PAYG they have an add on to get 200 minutes to call standard landline and mobile numbers includes the US

Most PAYG providers have cheap overseas calls directly or by buying an add-on.
The current Lebara 50GB offer would probably be cheaper.
Otherwise, something like call 18185 would probably be less hassle at 2.5p per minute for the occasional call. You call abroad via a UK freephone or London landline number. They're actually also useful when roaming as you can call places other than the UK using inclusive minutes back to the UK.
It's a sister brand of call 18185 - it's a London landline number or UK freephone number. There is no such thing as a local number now.
