Hi all,
My boyfriend is moving to Malta (I already live here) at the end of the month and as he works as a freelance writer, he needs a way to make cheap international calls from a landline.
Obviously in some cases he can use Skype but for business calls this won't always be an option.
Can anyone recommend a service or deal that will allow him to call the UK and occasionally the US without running up massive bills?
Thanks,
Natalie

Hi Natalie
I have just moved here and have brought my UK plan with me from Vodafone called Euro Traveller, for GBP 3.00 a day BUT only on the days you use it, don't think they do one for the USA but check their website.
regards
Andrew

Hi emccann22 - thanks a lot! Could you please PM me the link as I don't think the forum mods like ads - not sure if recommendations come under this category! Thanks!

Ooooh, how does that work? £3 a day for all calls sounds far too good to be true.

www.vodafone.co.uk if they are your provider back in the UK, don't know if the others do a similar idea.

even melita is only 3.5 c a minute
but as GnG said 1021 is a cheap option

I also use Melita and I have calls to landlines in Europe for about 3c/min.
