    Ate Juliette im using o2 po but it is plan, is that counted for 100 mins?
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    Question

    I'm bamboozled by all the 'gen' posted on this topic. Maybe it's my "advanced" age! But, on the rare occasions I use my 'pay-as-you go' T-Mobile calling plan, it seems to cost me a small fortune - even ringing locally. Basically, what I'd like to know IS: are there any "cheap" options (and I don't mean calling cards) for using my LANDLINE to contact Myrna's family and friends in the Phils?

    At present I have a contract with tiscali uk which allows me to phone any British mainland landline from John o' Groats to Lands End "free of charge" for around £27 a month; however this deal does not extend to calls abroad.

    Can anyone advise?

    You can find 9ppm (pence per minute) to phil mobile 7ppm to phil landline by using an access number where you dial a 0800 number then the number you require, just google 'cheap calls' there are hundreds of them. Or have a quick look through one of the pinoy newspapers like 'Planet Philippines' there are plenty of adds.

    We use O2 sims now though

    My fiance is using 02 sim, he has 200 minutes international free call every month. he rings me everyday, using it sparingly so we can talk everyday until it expires and receive another free 200 the following month

    Agree with u Manay

    That is how me and my family use to chat Skype though it is PC to PC eventhough they dont have a credit we can still each other.
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

    Hi Atchu,
    I like Skype PC to PC because it's totally free, video calls are excellent and no chipmunk voice due to delay!

    I'm a Virgin media customer and they have at an extra charge on top of your phone line rental a Talk anywhere plan, I think I pay them about £30 and I get 800 minutes anywhere in the world, so I can talk to my fiancee without worrying! hope this helps someone.
