Folks,

I have family and friends in Australia that i need to call (from my home phone) on a fairly regular basis between now and Christmas and im looking for a recommendation for one of these international calling cards that gives you a discounted rate.

if its of any significance my home phone is with Virgin.

Any comments welcome.
Thanks

If they have a pc at the other end why not try skype, its easy and you can see video if both have webcams.

You can get cheap calls through skype too although think its easier if you also get a skype handset.

Cheers

Just checked skypes to phone rate is 2p per min inc vat, dont know how that compares.

Skype to skype is free

Bit techie but you could try a sip gateway like this Linky

If you are with Virgin you could switch to their Anywhere400 tariff. You can call anywhere in the world at any time for 400 minutes per month (including mobiles).
It costs me about £17/month
