Can't answer for that Global sim... but I have have a different one... and yes T Mobile charged about 35p pm instead of taking from the callers incusive package ( O2 and orange were taken from inclusive minutes)Any posts on here are for information and discussion purposes only and shouldn't be seen as (financial) advice.0

pennymakespounds,
thanks for the feedback. It was useful as I was going to recommend this sim as a solution for a friend who is travelling South America soon.
BTW, Are you made of money? Using 1899 at 10ppm to call mobiles!!!!!
Use PhoneCheap on 08444280004
or 0844Calls on 08444282525
both at 4ppm
hth...and then the window licker said to me...0 -
knuckledragger ... didn't think of that wheeze !!
Rarely use landline or 1899 as make nearly all my calls via my t moble flext package ..
Think my bt landline is on talk talk .. will they be 4p min as well ?? .. or do i have to dial ???? to get back to the bt line before calling the 0844 ?0 -
AMAZING !!
tried knuckledraggers suggestion... i rang the simply sim mobi... 1280 to get onto bt then the 08444280004 to get onto "phonecheap" .. then the 004407624......simply sim mobile number followed by hash...... was announced at 4p a minute and got straight through .
4p a minute to phone a mobile in europe !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GO FOR IT !0 -
update....
continued to use the https://www.phonecheap.co.uk dial through at 4p a minute .. connection easy and quality fine.
yesterday being saterday rang him a couple of times from landline ... just 1899 then the mobile number .. 3p a minute weekend rate !!
Taking the various trips the 4 of us do in a year ,.. there's probably a couple of hundred pounds savings now we've learnt this.0 -
everything changes !!
got the boy back home now.
Was looking at the phonecheap and 0844 calls site this morning just taking a bit of time to learn and understand it better .. ....
today they read ....
calls to landlines 1p a minute
calls to mobiles 25p a minute !!!!!0 -
I think you may be mixing up UK (4p) and Spanish (25p) mobiles. Dial an access number for the SIM card number, not where it is0

pennymakespounds,
sorry not to have replied sooner, I haven't had access to the net for a few days.
redux is right, you're confusing the rates for UK and Spain.
BTW, I repeat: are you made of money?
Phoning mobiles for 3ppm at the weekend? Use 18185 at 2ppm! LOL
erm, don't forget the "thanks" button <cough>...and then the window licker said to me...0 -
if you are going to France the best deal is to get a virgin pay as go go french sim, as soon as you arrive. It is 15 euros and include 5euros worth of free calls. It is valid for 9 months without charging... great if you go often. Or buy a second hand sim on french ebay: https://www.ebay.fr I am a native french speaker so any problem with french language just ask! x sandra0
