Our friends in Switzerland have launched another short code cheap call telephone service in addition to 1899/18866. This time its 18185.See
https://www.18185.co.uk
There are also 0808 and geo access numbers for mobile,and cable users.
Connection charge is 4p ,and call costs are rounded up to nearest penny.
I notice that offer a very good rate to 0870 numbers in the week, of 4p a minute.Handy if you want to dial 0870 indirect access numbers.
Other members will no doubt wish to comment if any of there intl prices are any good.

Unfortunately, trying to sign up with a genuine UK telephone number (even when tried in international format) produces a "The entered telephonenumber is incorrect. Please check the number and try again" message.
Sticking with 18866 & 1899.............Time has moved on (much quicker than it used to - or so it seems at my age) and my previous advice on residential telephony has been or is now gradually being overtaken by changes in the retail market. Hence, I have now deleted links to my previous 'pearls of wisdom'. I sincerely hope they helped save some of you money.0 -

Foreign mobiles are a bit cheaper than 18866 and 1899; not the 10p of Abroadtel though - ok 0871 numbers, but from mobile - could be interesting0

I have just emailed them ........... on the contact page it says the number should be between 10 and 11 digits ....... although mine is 11 it still wont take it.
Ive emailed them hopefully it should be fixed soon.0 -

NOTE:the website is not working properly and want allow you to register at the mo.
Can't see nowhere that they are from Finarea SA, or are sisters with 1899 and 18866. Unless your source have informed you0 -
