Save money calling mobiles
Calls to mobile phones are a rip-off. If I’m calling someone, it’s not my fault that they happen to be using a mobile.
Even with a VOIP provider or one of the mainstream discount landline providers, you’re likely to pay around five times as much to call a mobile in the same room as you are a landline in Australia.
DiscountDial offers mobile calls at 5p per minute, any time of day. I’ve tried it and it works. You call their 0844 566 35 35 number, then dial the mobile number. Your usual phone provider bills you the 4p per minute and DiscountDial get a revenue-share. (Number and rate updated thanks to dfear, after DiscountDial put the cost up from 4p).
It may be a promotional offer but it rocks for now.

Fhah! I could love you for tips like that…. But probably more when you still had “Bruno’s Lesbian Hair”….

Just checked MoneySavingExpert.com, discountdial is now 5p/min and the access number is now 0844 566 3232. If you try to dial a uk mobile number using 0844 428 9090 it tells you to dial 0844 566 3232.

A new number which you could try is: PhoneCheap (08444620002) @ 2p/min AND you can can mobiles with that number too!
from moneysavingexpert.com - probably won’t last for long at that price, so save money while it works.
