Last year my mobile phone bill whilst in Europe was almost £500, trouble is I do need to make and receive a few calls whilst away. In an attempt to avoid such charges this year I have re-visited Skype
Has anyone checked out the new Skype subscriptions? for just £2 a month you can call any UK landline numbers as much as you like up to a fair use policy 10,000 minutes a month.
This is great, but even better if you are travelling, you get your own UK Number. This meansthat people can call you and of course the caller only pays for the UK call and you are not saddled with those international bits when someone calls you, nor charged 40p to access your mailbox.:Angry:
Of course you can only make and receive these calls when you have an internet connection, but because you are not tied to a contract, you could effectively join and get a number just for the month you are away. My initial feelings after using the service for two weeks is that it is excellent and a massive money saver. For an extra quid you can extend it to free landline calls to any of 21 European countries
