Phone Cards

The £/$ is just in the normal Forex 'breathing' range of 1.6-1.7 It is a fine balancing act between bad news in the UK, and then bad news in the US. It took a big fall the other day, which means it will at some point over the next few days climb. Big changes on Forex 95% of the time result in a rebound.

If Gordon Brown goes in January, it should break the 1.7 mark, otherwise it will probably be around election time.

I really hope you're right Boss, 65 peso to the pound was painful last year :(

You are right about bad news thing, both sides of the Atlantic are bound together in a bad news war just now, I'm just worried that there is a lot more bad news to come in the UK.

Well I tried the Tiger card and the voice quality is impressive much better than Skype to a Philippine mobile.

The system is a bit confusing though, if you call the 0800 access number the actual rate you get is higher, it does state this on site and it does make sense as it costs them to provide an 0800 number, so it's important to use the London direct number to get the advertised rate.

The second point that was the confusing bit for me was that the automated call system states I have 20 pounds credit, I think it means 20 dollars as that is the amount I paid

Good service the voice quality is superb.
