Today when I tried to use the newly suggested cheap calls to mobiles from landlines via Abroadtel. Instead of connecting to my brother in the same village I was twice connected to a German answerphone message!! Any ideas? - No - I'm not going to learn German!!!

    Did you forget to dial the full international number after the Abroadtel number?

    You have to dial 0044(drop the leading 0)7xxxxxxxxxx
    Their - possessive pronoun (owned by them e.g. "They locked their car").
    They're - colloquial/abbreviated version of 'They are'
    There - noun (location other than here e.g. "You can buy groceries there") OR adverb (in or at that place e.g. "They have lived there for years") OR adverb (to or towards that place e.g. "Go there at noon") OR adverb (in that matter e.g. " I agree with you there").
