who should I use for international calls?
 

currently using simply-call.com but I've seen others (www.telediscount.co.uk) that are cheaper per minute. Obviously I'm on an NTL line and I want to pay as little as possible to talk to a friend in sweden. Anyone used telediscount?
who do you use for your interenational calls?

cheers

Deppeneds on what country you call. eg if its the states use One tel 4p per min.

I didn't think you could use a carrier on an ntl line?

Re: who should I use for international calls?
 

Your right you carnt only BT lines. Unless your provider also does the line rental.

Re: who should I use for international calls?
 

Yes you can. We do (actually, did, and do on Telewest now).

We use onetel btw. I haven't really looked ot others, as the monthly bill isn't very high (despite calling abroad regularly). Never had a problem with onetel (except for them trying to convince us to use them for national calls as well).

Here is an easy to use comparison site.
I use cheapestcalls on Telewest line and it does exactly what they say, should work on NTL also

Re: who should I use for international calls?
 

I use Telediscount as well as Cheapest Calls (actually also Telediscount but cheaper) www.cheapestcalls.co.uk and they both work pretty well. Nobody can come close to Cheapest Calls - not OneTel or any of the others. And yes before any questions are asked, they do bill you exactly what they advertise and even on ntl: lines.

www.telestunt.co.uk .. usa is local call rate .. also head on over to the money saver forum for a list http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com

Or use a NTL call plan and it's only 2p per minute to the USA. NTL 5p call plan takes some beating.

Re: who should I use for international calls?
 

Yes, you can. I use One-tel on my NTL line. Instead of dialling 1877 and then the number straight away, you dial an 0800 number, wait for a voice, then dial. A bit slower, but just as free.

OneTel are great on prices, especially to overseas mobiles, which I call a lot. Most prices other people quote are landlines only and hike it for foreign cellphones, but OneTel don't. They only add a very small surcharge.

How about Skype? http://www.skype.com

Internet to Internet works brilliantly. I've not used the Skype Out feature but I've heard it works quite well.

Re: who should I use for international calls?
 

Play.com has skype enabled VOIP phones here: http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=s...G&title=615520 for 30 of your English pounds. Get you Swedish mate to get one and your calls will be free (as long as you have an internet connection of course!).

Re: who should I use for international calls?
 

I have been using extracall for cheap international calls . Good prices and fine quality.

Re: who should I use for international calls?
 

Actually you will find that this service is the best (as low as a national rate UK call 3p/2p per minute daytime/evening):

http://justdial.atspace.com

Many destinations are covered, and you can call mobiles too.

Re: who should I use for international calls?
 

justdial is a rip off, or maybe you're trying to earn some commisions? :D
People - use comparison webs like niftylist mentioned above or http://www.cheapestinternationalcalls.com or http://www.internationalcheapcalls.com and find out who is cheapest for you destination today - to call one country is cheaper using telestunt, other country - telediscount or cheapestcalls and so on... and also companies sometimes changing access numbers and prices.
