Familly mobile phones

Does anyone know of any mobile packages where I can purchase say 3/4 phones but the ratiff works in such a way that call and texts made between these phones are either free or greatly reduced? Thanks

    Hi,
    On 3 you can use 'skype' to call free to other skype enabled phones for up to 4000 minutes a month. This is included for free on all the mix and match tariffs so in addition to whafever tariff you buy you would get this free on top.
    If you're not bothered about the phones functionality etc then the bext phone to use skype on is the skypephone - its quite a neat little phone with a 2mp camera and is very easy to use skype on as you remain permanently signed in and then just press the middle button to call other skype contacts.
    Its very good providing that you are all on skype enabled phones.
    I would reconmend going into a 3 shop and asking them for a full explanation but if you're all on skype then its a very good buy!

    I too am on family and friends and i pay £7 a month for myself and 5 other family members to talk to each other, the good thing is aswell is when they take your money off your balance, which is once a month, if it falls in the week ie monday to friday, it gives you free weekend calls that week.

    if you don't want 4 contracts, you can get this on pay as you go as well.

    T-mobile do something similar but I don't think it's particularly good value

    My husband is O2 contract & I am O2 PAYG.

    He gets (loads of) free minutes to other O2 mobiles & landlines. So if I want to speak to him, I prank him & he rings me back. My PAYG credit lasts forever because he is the only person I call.

    You could perhaps get the contacts & your kids the PAYG's?

    If you get an online sim for the PAYG you will get 300 free text PM & 300 free WAP mins as well.
