Cheap International Calls via Mobile Phone

    Hi everyone and sorry if this has been done before

    Due to economic constraints, I have had to move home. My OH lives in England and in my previous house I had an international package with Eircom on the landline.

    My parents dont want me phoning England even though I have said that I will pay all future landline bills. They said I must use my mobile...!

    My laptop is so crap that Skype keeps crashing and thats very frustrating so dont use it.

    Is there any other options open to me for cheap UK calls from mobile (I also have an international add-on with Vodafone)

    Thanks.

    use http://www.voipstunt.com/en/index.html

    its free for landline calls to the UK and best of all you can use use your parents phone for a 5c connection fee and talk up to one hour and 18.5c for mobile calls

    I have just spotted the previous threads on Rebtel. Just signed up.

    Does it work?

    get an international call card and pay about 1c a minute to the uk, or download skype onto your mobile and use that (this is what i've done and it works perfectly)

    Yes, i have used these and no faults. The whole post billing is nice. The texts have increased though, Uk texts are now 4cent and most others 3 cent. Using o2 webtexts is cheaper as they allow free international texts.

    Am I right in my understanding that texts can only be sent online via PC/laptop?
