Phone Calls to SA and Zim!

[vukenmuven]

Does anyone have any recommendations on cheap access numbers, or call cards to phone landlines and mobile phones in Zim and SA from the UK?

Currently I use call checker on the Net (Call Checker (http://callchecker.moneysavingexpert.com/intcallchecker/)), but find that it fluctuates according to peak and off-peak times, where it can be as little as 2p/min in the evenings, but 20p/min during day time calls. Quite a big difference, especially when you want to have a bit of a chin wag.

Have you tried Skype? Prices are cheaper than any calling card i've seen

Yeah, that I have Shayne. Problem is, some of the relatives still don't want to invest in some modern technology, as in the PC. :smiley13:

Have a bash with these, I have used them, their termination to some mobiles (SA, cell-c, Vodacom) is not so good, MTN seems fine. SA landlines Good. The Zim mobiles are ok as with landlines, sometimes difficult to get through, dependent on PSTN, international switching and LCR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Least_cost_routing) .
