If I was getting a call from one or two friends and I said, you can call this number cheaply by dialing ...

With research, you can call most CP networks from outside a country at close to the same price as a domestic caller pays. Without research, however, you can get burnt worse.

Actually, the second quoted paragraph is much more likely than the first. Many people seem resigned to paying their main provider without any research of other possibilities. And if you do explain anything, their eyes glaze over in about one sentence of any explanation, even if it starts with the headline you can save 80% by ... (or am I just boring?). So the other day, and previously when going abroad, I just left a phone with 3 or 4 numbers programmed (including callthrough) and said try these in this order

I saved ?1000 a year on someone's phone bill about 3 years ago, but they still won't be convinced that the next ?1000 is also possible - what's the catch they ask. And one mobile in the firm has a line rental of ?17.50 a month and gets used for about a minute on average; I said I'd give them a free O2 payg SIM instead - oh we've just renewed the contract and got a new phone [worth about ?30!]

We're going to Sweden very soon, as a group of nearly 20. I've sent an email, asking it to be forwarded, that the best SIM to get is Halebop - 4p connection fee, same network 0p per minute, other Swedish 6p/min, all sms 4p, UK landlines 10p/min. The 100 SEK first top-up + 100 SEK start bonus would last the whole visit unless calling UK mobiles a lot. I bet we end up with all different ones though.

And I bet not many people calling us will reach the Swedish mobile numbers for 5p per minute from a BT landline as I'll recommend, as it involves a few minutes setting up an account, and also using a callthrough number ...
