0871 341 2298 - 9p a minute to Philippine mobiles enter the number as soon as the computer starts talking at you, use 00639xx xxx xxxx format.

0871 552 2244 - 8p a minute to Philippine landlines again enter the number as soon as the computer starts talking at you.

Only problem is failed connection for which you will get charged the first 9p and occasional dropouts, call quality is usually good unless she's in the living room and the kids are screaming

The mobile rate is effectively as cheap as a smart plug n talk or local mobile call rates in the Phils.

How do you get charged? is it through your phone bill at the end of the month? I was Looking at Filipno talk phone card, which i saw. If you buy bulk cards then would work out quite cheap. There is a connection charge of 30p but after a long call maybe doesn't cost too much.

Do you know if there is there a lot of connection problems with these services you talked about and phone cards?
