Would anyone know of a number that I can call from a BT landline that would provide me with cheap calls to a Tenerife mobile. At present the cheapest I have found is 25p a minute.

thank you

I used to have a number but I lost it. My parents recently switched to Talk Talk and they can call me free at any time. They got their first bill and had been charged for a couple of calls so they queried it. Apparently they have to dial an access number before my number and if they leave too long a gap in between dialing the numbers it charges. What they have done now is programmed the code and my number into their phone. Talk Talk refunded the calls they had been charged for.

If you type " cheap calls to spain from the UK" into Google it brings up loads of different options for you.

If they have a computer they could use VOIP cheap, this gives free calls to landlines in Spain and UK and 10c per minute to mobiles in Spain or 6c to mobiles in UK.

Thought is was 23c per min to mobs in Spain lol

and 14c UK mob

I guess it's because people earn more in the UK and get more benefits when not working so can afford it

Thanks everyone for your advice. I just realised that the mobile Im calling (Vodaphone) also charges the receiver, so its a bit pricey all round.

Ill look at the options you suggested.

many thanks.

If they are here permanently and are renting long-term then it may be worth their while getting a land line installed. If not tell them to get a Spanish SIM card - most come with a similar amount of credit to what it costs.

hi all just a quickie about talk talk

my sister joined up with them broad band and free international calls

and got her bill through and charged for ringing me when she contacted them they told her mainland spain and the balearic isles are covered NOT canaries

Scroll down to the bottom of this page down load the pdf file and it tells you the charges

[DaveR]

Well I can assure you that my parents ring me 3 times a week and have only been charged for two of the calls. As I explained earlier in the thread there was a reason for those two calls being charged and they were credited with the cost. Why would Talk Talk refund the cost of the calls if they should have been charged anyway?

[undercover]

did you download the tariffs Dave

[DaveR]

I did Undercover and you are correct nased on their tarriff. I am however basing what I have said on my parents actual phone bills over the three months they have had talk talk. I will mention this to them next time we speak and see what happens.

[undercover]

Im only going on what my sister told me
her bill was 100 ish pounds norm 25 ish per month they told her she could ring who and when any time of day providing she hung up after so long and rang again when the bill came in and she contacted them was told canaries not covered so now we use skype Hope your Mum doesnt get stung with a big bill
