South-east boy - that's a very good offer. I bought the Babylon card, £10 for 10 hours, valid for 90 days. Nice one - thanks mate!

Have to say that I'm a bit confused, as when I phone Suzie on Saturday (on my mobile) it said I had 267 minutes. Now I know there is a 50p connection charge, which I wasn't sure if it came out of your minutes or was extra on top. But if it was out of my minutes, as 50p is 10% of £5, I though I might have 10% of my minutes taken off for the connection charge. As there was 400 minutes per £5, than should give me 360 minutes, not 267. Anyway I chatted to her for 2 hours and then the call suddenly ended (was cut short by the connection). 2 hours/120 minutes isn't the same as 267 minutes! So it seems that instead of me thinking I had 400 minutes, I actually only got 120! I hope, I still have the other card left and that it's not all used up?!
What number did you use to call? As I've seen different rates depending on the access number.Originally Posted by South-east boy
Wonder also if any call is restricted to 2 hours rather than you running out of minutes, though with a 50p connection charge the card is probably not got enough left to make a call now anyway.
South East Boy. Have you tried asking the card company? Their help address is:- info@digicallingcards.com
PS I have just sent your post to them as a question.
hmmm, phone cards published minutes are nowhere near the actual minutes you get.
i have been using 1st dial asia, you have to register online, they then give you a london number to call your contacts anywhere in the world. you can use that with your inclusive minutes on you mobile, or landline. it does not have a connection fee, and no maintenance either. if you top up with £20 they give you £30.
it is about 8p per minute and the quality is really good. details on their website.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, the courage to change the things i can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people i had to kill because they pissed me off.
....or you could use the ones I sell http://www.onlinecheapphonecards.com/

http://www.ratebuster.co.uk/pages/mo...ving-tips.aspx charges 7p to philippines landline and 8p to mobile.
Virgin who I'm currently with, offers £35 per month for 2mb broadband, unlimited download, line rental and 400 free minutes to any number, landline or mobile anywhere in the world. That's 90 minutes a week for £3.92 per week (4p/min). 3 hours per week free minutes also available but for an extra £13. That's 3.6p/min to Philippines inc. mobiles.
I used the 0207 no. as the 0845 is expensive on mobiles. I'm not sure what access no. gives you the 400 minutes? Guess it could have been the 0845 on a land-line? Maybe I had less minutes as I phoned on my mobile, but I couldn't see anywhere where it said less minutes if you phone on a mobile. When I phoned, I could have actually used the landline (when most times I need to use a mobile), but just thought it was easier speaking when not attached to a cable!
I'll give them a call later and see what I can find out. They seemed very nice when I called last week.
My cards are only 7c

South East Boy.
Sorry my post was a reply from another supplier so I have removed it to avoid confusion. Sorry for the error.
It now says for 1st dial 5p for landlines and 6p for mobiles!
Am not sure if John was getting confused, but I bought the Worldcall card from Calling you. Anyway, I phoned Lycatell who the Worldcall card is with and they said the carrier of the phone no. that you call also charges and the daily maintenance charge can be as much as 10p, so although I thought I was going to get near 800 minutes, all I got was 120 which is not quite the same and rather misleading! Apparently the 0845 no, gives you most minutes if you make less phone calls and from a landline and the 0207 is the next best.
It's a shame the rates to Phils are not as cheap as to China, Thailand or Australia as they are very cheap!
Win2Win - 7c, that's cheap! I've just switched from Virgin to BT in the uk. 3rd party numbers prices are quoted at BT prices, and so I've been told, are stable, whereas Virgin prices tend to change and often cannot reach certain numbers as easily as BT. Not sure if this is true, but many of my Chinese friends swear by BT.
The cheapest way is maybe to buy a netbook (£100 from HMV) and pay a 900-2000 pesos internet charge for Philipine gf. Long term this would save money and make talking easier for both. No interent cafe bills, no phone calling bills and crystal clear calls via Skype.
