UK guys - 18866 recommended for cheap calls
« on: May 18, 2004, 03:54:31 AM »
I have just switched phone service provider, and now use http://www.18866.com - amazingly cheap service. Register online with a CC, and your bill is online. Then all you do is precede the number to be called with 18866. Calls to other countries can be made for as little as 1p per minute - the USA is 1p per minute at any time in the 24 hour day. When making the call, before being connected a voice tells you the charge rate that will apply.

I called Lazs! We talked for 53 minutes. :eek: Checked the online bill afterwards - sure enough - 53p. :)

Ah, if I wasn't going overseas I'd probably check it out.  I currently use Alpha Phone for overseas phonecalls.

We use Telediscount for calls to the US etc.  Difference is you don't need to set up an account and all charges are made to your regular phone bill.  Used it a few times last year in my position as Head CM to contact HTC.  :D

Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
