    I need to make a lot of calls to UK mobiles from my mobile. I will be using a spare phone as I don't want to change my current network - Tesco.

    I have read that Meteor offer the cheapest rate of 10c per min. I have also read about calling cards like the one from Tesco & they all seem to be around 10c per min.

    Does anyone know of a cheaper option ?

    Has anyone used this company ?

    They have been around for 10 years & are quoting 3c per min to UK Voda mobiles.

    Could you not just use WhatsApp, Viber or Skype?

    Unfortunately not. I have always found Viber call quality to be bad. What's the quality like with WhatsApp ?

    Alternatively you get a 3 UK sim, they have 3 like home [...] Its possible to get free 3 to 3 calls too. You'll just need someone to send you credit.

    Or just set up and auto top-up using a credit or debit card.

    They seem to be an offshoot/project by Zamano.

    Just be aware of their T&Cs bit below. I have a Three UK SIM here but don't use it continuously, so haven't had this happen.

    "If you use your allowances exclusively in a Feel At Home destination for any 3 complete months in a rolling 12 month period, we may suspend international roaming on your account...."
