Double drat! Topupnow have now put up their price to call Saudi. The call checker has missed out that 1899 charge 4p a minute plus a 3p connection charge, making them second cheapest.
Dialwise is the cheapest now at 3p a minute, but we never seem to be able to use it.

Perhaps someone could update the callchecker and add 1899's price.

I too have to call Saudi occasionally. At the moment Topupdiscount are charging 5p connection then 1p/min thereafter.

I phone Portugal very frequently and I checked the callchecker and it came up with DIalwise at 1p per minute. I also checked with BT and they said I will get charged local rate. Does that mean I will get charged local rate plus 1p per minute. Does anyone know?

Great checker!!

No you just pay 1p a minute to phone that particular 0844 number.No one adds anything on.(Min call charge of normally 5p applies though,and if you dont get through you are still charged.)

Many thanks fbrj, I found Topupdiscount today, but I can only access their site through your links.

Looks the same lot as Topupnow!

Thanks pricefighter.

I'm signed up to 1899 and 18866, and just got the hang of topupnow before they put the price up. Topupdiscount seems to be the same web site as topupnow, just the name's changed.

Setting up a new company every month seems a weird way of doing things, but as long as the price is right, and I can find their latest cheapest company, who cares.

Hi! This is my first time here! Just to say that the numbers for cheap international calls are super fantastic!!! However, just to report that Dialwise and Bestminute don't seem to work for the last month or so. A guy's voice came up and basically said that due to large volume of calls, the service is no longer available. Would you know what that means please?

Cheers!

The information about the company called cheapest call is wrong.
According to money saving expert the cheapest call to make a call to India both land line and mobile cost 5p. But they are chargin 6p to land line and 8p to mobile. They never used to be 5p, I am afraid.
Please change that in accurately.
