T-mobile Payg Cheap International Calls

This has probably been seen before but just come across that if you send for free T-Mobile PAYG Simcards you can access code numbers through https://www.yourcallworld.com to phone International numbers at silly prices - i.e. Cyprus at 3p landlines and 6p to Mobiles. T-Mobile is cheapest although you can use other PAYG servers.

    Those rates on T-mobile have been going for about 6 or 7 months, so it appears the firm has an agreement.

    Call Germany Landlines 24/7 for 35p/min? Best deal is to sign up with 18185 or the likes giving your mobile as the principle number. Use 18185's 0800 or 0208 access code. Then costs the UK mobile rate + 2p.
  • i have some spare credit on a T-mobile PAYG sim lying around that i got free so might as well use it for international calls. Better than actually spending cash.

    Not sure what network you are on to be charged 35p per min - this thread was originally about t-mobile - germany and usa landlines and 3p min

    Yes please be careful - T-Mobile must have some agreement as when you check others they are very expensive, I use 18185 at home but when Im out and have mobile and want to phone friends in Cyprus its handy to use the T-Mobile PAYG Sim and then dial through the access numbers - I have tried and tested it this week and even dialling my friends mobile it was still 6p a minute. Don't know why T-Mobile dont advertise this more ??

    Because I went to yourcallworld and tested the price using a pay as you go Virgin phone, it recommended I use T-Mobile's 07* access number and gave the price as 35/pmin to Germany (as a test example). The lower prices apply to contract phones it seems.

    Just to make it clear again, I am only recommending you use a T-Mobile PAYG card you can get them for free, and then you can get the low PAYG callrates,all other mobiles whether contract or PAYG are expensive, it seems that T-Mobile must have an agreement with this company, its a very useful thing if you carry a spare T-Mobile Sim around in your wallet.
