I think the O2 bolt-on is already cheaper to Poland landlines than dialling via a London callthrough number.
That's what I thought.

There are a range of new 07755 access numbers for different destinations - 3 pence a minute to many landlines (and US mobiles), 10p a minute to Polish mobiles, 15p most other European mobiles. No account needs to be set up, and these charges are independent and complete, not on top of a T-mobile rate (I've checked: 1p minimum charge).
Sounds interesting. Are 07755's "mobile numbers for dialtrough usage"?
However, I doubt if my brother decides to buy a new SIM - he's pretty busy. Moreover what is the real cost of such a change - I mean cost of a T-Mo SIM minus the initial credit? Of course the reason for which my bother bought O2 (a year ago) was the cheap access to some 0845 numbers (some 5 or even 2p a minute on weekends) but things have changed (up to 15p AFAIR)

It's less interesting to him as most calls he makes to UK numbers are to the staff of the farm and for that purpose he was given a "business" phone topped-up by his employer.

Anyway, thank you very much for the help
