I use an company called www.just.dialabroad.co.uk I use them to call Canada for 3p in the evenings and you dont have to buy any calling cards - really handy!! You just ring an access number.
Hope that helps

Hello.

You may want to check out the telephone company www.call18866.co.uk

I call Canada at anytime for 1p per minute and Australia is the same providing you are calling a landline. You register the landline you're calling from and they debit your bank account monthly. You check your bill on their website.

It's great.

I have an account with Alpha Telecom. I think it is around 2 or 3p a minute. I use my mobile so I have to pay for the call to the link time as well but it is still a lot cheaper than phoning direct. If you need info call 0845 085 0250. Happy Phoning!

I use a company called Nomi-call - 3p per minute regardless of the time of the day. There is a surcharge if you call from a BT payphone, but not from a land line, or a mobile - unless youare pay as you go, then you pay what ever your mobile company charges to call 0800 numbers. Their web address is: www.nomi-phone.com. or call them at 08453300230

They register your card details - visa, mastercard, maestro, and you can top it up anytime on-line or on their telephone number. £20.00 is 666 minutes back to Canada, and you can monitor your account on their website.

12/10/04 - Just logged onto the Nomi-phone web site and they have just dropped the rate on calls to Canada. It's now .02p per minute. That means that £10.00 gives you 500 minutes of calls back to Canada
