I do believe that T Mobile UK rates to other UK mobiles are among the cheapest within the UK.

2. Have him check out Orange Call Abroad. Sim card is free, I think but he'll have to check that Australia is on the list of places he can call very very cheaply. Also I am told Orange coverage is better than T Mobile UK.

3. Have him go into a Carphone Warehouse and check out Mobile World. Again the sim card is free and he need only pay for minutes. However, while calling while in the UK is cheap, I don't think Mobile World allows international roaming yet or will in the foreseeable future.

Both T Mobile UK and Orange subscribe to the eu tariffs so calls within Europe will be relatively cheap too.

Thank you for your help, I will pass it on to him. We do still have $100 credit with gt-sim, so would be helpful to be able to use that. We have been using this sim for 8 months with no problems - and as he is moving around, the international roaming has been useful.
