    Question What's the best card to call the Philippines?

    Hi.

    I use the Happy Tel card to call my gf in the Philippines.
    It's reliable, but does not give the minutes it states.
    In your opinions, what's the best card to call from London please?

    A great many thanks in advance.

    Sounds very cheap (which all good to me) is there a minimum charge or connection charge or a time limit or service charge on the calling cards?

    Sometimes the wife has found its handy to have a few different sevices to use for various reasons, so this is worth bearing in mind if the actual cost.

    they charge 10p per day but since 10 pound gets me 300 mins to her mobile i only buy when i dont have skype access which is free

    its no problem to make 4 60 min calls in a week

    240 mins x 3.57p = £8.57

    7 days times 10p = .70

    so even at 240 mins over a week with the day charge =4.16p per min
