    Hi,

    For those of you who are going to China for some business, I would like to recommend Net Callback (www.netcallback.net). It is a service that allows you to make international calls from China at very cheap rates. Check their website to find out more about their services. It worked wonders for me. :lol:

    Hi

    If you like to travel a lot and especially go aboard, the one think that you do want is that you’re near and dear at home are able to contact you. Well let me tell you about myself.

    My girlfriend’s job takes her out of the country a lot and she is always keen that I keep in touch with her (I still wonder whether it was me that she did not trust or was it that she did not trust herself).

    Well whatever, the issue is that I was always reluctant to call her when she was aboard. Because whenever I did I would always get charged massive call charges and when I use to get the phone bill at the end of the month, It was a choice of ditching my phone or my girlfriend.

    I had always thought if there was a way to keep both, that is keeping my girlfriend happy as well as me. And if there was a way to make these calls for FREE. Was that possible! First, I tried the internet where I could use online chats and speak to the person on the other side, but then the person on the other side had to be online as well and more over had to have a computer and a good bandwidth. Sorry, No Good

    WELL finally, I cracked it; I came across http://www.reallyjustdial.co.uk/pages/free-calls.htm where I could call aboard FREE if I had a mobile contract. FREE means FREE, that is when you hear, someone say FREE, you would understand as per the dictionary meanings, that something that you can have without giving anything in return, whether that is material or money. Moreover, that is how I would expect it to be, now a day FREE is available but it has been hidden within the lines.

    Sorry went slightly off track. So that is what I did and now I am happy and so is my girlfriend

    Good luck

    Regards

    Hi All,

    I would most certainly recommend a company called Map Your Number. I understand how fustrating it can be when you need to call your friends and loved ones abroad only to receieve a monster phone bill at the end of the month, the solution is to use a service that has set rates and don't charge you for anything but the minutes you use. These guys connect through BT which means you will recieve the best highest quality connection possible. I call India all the time using my very own 08 Number, I am charged just 3PPM and am charged on my normal phone bill. I no longer have to worry about being charged excessive amounts just because I want to speak to my family and friends abroad.

    Check it out at Http://www.mapyournumber.co.uk Good Luck guys!!

    My friend,

    i was able to hook you up with a $1 free coupon to try zenofon, just because i told them you are a buddy of mine. You don't need to give your credit card. You will never get a bill for those calls. It's free, with no obligations whatsoever!
    Even better, if you sign up with this link http://www.zenofon.com/?9ba5v, i also get one dollar of free calling credit, just for endorsing the product to my friends. That's the way zenofon operates. It grows only through word of mouth referrals.

    Zenofon is a great service with so many useful features. They give you 30 usa numbers, for free, that you can forward to all the people you call overseas.
    It's better than a calling card because instead of having to dial an access number, a pin and then the international number, you only have to dial one local number which zenofon forwards to any number you chose. Just store the number in your cellphone for that contact and call away.
    Other great options zenofon offers is that you can choose from 6 different options to get the call through, choosing the cheapest rates that work for you.
    Zenofon also lets you call your skype contacts directly from your cellphone or landline without needing to install skype. Nobody else has that. There are even more features but i don't want this email to go on forever.

    Try it, you will really like it, and soon you will be referring your friends as well. Don't be the last one to switch to zenofon.

    Once again, the link to your coupon is - http://www.zenofon.com/?9ba5v

    If you have a China mobile SIM card, simply dial 12593 before the number you want to call (the full number, including country code and 00) and you get quite cheap rates. It might still be a little bit cheaper with some calling cards, but it is a lot easier like this.
    China Unicom unfortunately does not provide the same service.

    Agree with the prefix 12593. If you use the popular chinese brand "xiaomi" phone (it's actually pretty good and the user interface can be in full English), there's a setting to automatically prefix all international and interstate calls with it. Works really well for me.

    Why won't you try Skype? I guess it's really convenient, but I guess you just need an internet connection.

    Indeed Skype, or Whatsapp or Viber for phones should do it.

    What I use when I travel is KeepCalling. I prefer it to Skype / Viber and the like because it doesn't require internet and the people I call don't have to have skype / viber installed. It's also cheap and ok.

    I found it not along ago when reading this article http://blog.keepcalling.com/news/how-to ... nal-calls/
