Just checked out NZ as thats where I phone most via 18866, interesting to see Ratebusters and Telesavers are 1p a minute so I will give them a try.

Where you talk about 18866 and 1899 you have left out a word or two on the "how to" dial bit and where you say "and you will receive a bill for it" perhaps you could put "you will receive a monthly bill for these calls"

edited: to add, its great by the way!

There is one benefit that could be incorporated into this, and that would be the ability to check a number of locations at the same time.

If people where able to select say upto 5 destinations and view the results this would be less time consuming than having to repeat the process 5 times.

Apart from that it seem's to be very good & a useful tool ;D I trust you will also include the result for calling within the UK too

The result for calling Scotland is there Tony, cos I looked ;D

It say's "Departure" near the drop down list, surely this should be Destination or "Call Location"

Hi did a check it says 1899 is the cheapest UK national caller service at 0p

This provider has a 3p connection charge if you use 18899 this is 0p with only 1p connection charge???

Thanks Dale & Tony

Will get both of those looked at - and of course you're quite right about 18866 at 0p plus 1p connection for the UK - that's my recommendation!

There are always tiny glitches when doing something techie at the start

Great help but a few teething probs. 18866 is only 2p to UK mobiles at weekends - it is 12p Mon-Fri. 1899 is cheaper.
