T-Mobile was 10p pr/minute to both Landlines and Cell.
Orange is £ 0.20 - € 0.24

Ill have to look into it more to see what their packages include. The link to the prepaid T-Mobile card that was posted earlier T-Mobile UK Prepaid PAYG SIM Card w/FREE ROAMING & MORE - eBay (item 150425602949 end time May-19-10 14:17:41 PDT)
mentions that you can receive calls within the UK for free, and can receive text for free ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD including the US!

T-Mobile seems like the way to go and their coverage map appears the same as Orange and Vodafone.

Hopefully a few more hours of research and the info i have gotten from the people here, will help with the decision.

You have to sign up for vodafone international to get 5p/minute to the USA. See International Calling - Vodafone

Lebarra as suggested above is 4p/minute to the USA

T Mobile UK can be 3p/minute to the USA but you have an extra step to call a firm called yourcall world (see www.yourcallworld.com)......

Orange camel plan is 6p/minute to the USA but as above you can use yourcallworld to make it 3p/minute......

T Mobile UK straight up has a plan you can sign up for 5p/minute to the USA
