Cheap international landline calls

mikeruurds

Hi there

I make calls to South Africa regularly and I use www.telestunt.ie - calls are charged at local call rate = just over €1 an hour after 6 at night!

They also have the same deal for calls to the USA, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries.

I prefer using them as Skypeout quality can be an issue when calling some landlines overseas.

Hopefully this is useful to some of you!

Sounds almost too good to be true - and you pay with your normal Eircom bill the calls being charged at the local call rate?
Must give that a try ...

These guys are absolutely excellent. My girlfriend recently undertook a round-world tour that brought her to Germany, Singapore, Australia and the USA. In every country I was able to call her hotel at local rates. I have also used the service to call the UK and Italy with no difficulty.

It is also very useful in work if you do not want international calls showing up.

One (very minor) difficulty is if the phone is not answered or is engaged - you will be charged a min fee of 6.35c for dialling the 1890 number (if you had dialled direct this would be free). Not a big problem, though, since you will save that cost many times over in the first minute once you do get through.

Yes... I've been using them for ages and there's absolutely no catch. You get charged on your Eircom bill at local rates and that's all.

Ah the monthly Telestunt bargain alert!! Sometimes one a week

Been using them for over a year now.. fantastic stuff. Local call for the US both landline and mobile (calling to, not from!).

I think they use a VOIP service so thats why its so cheap.

I too have been using this for a while now but was wondering if anyone knows of an equivalent "stunt" from the US - Ireland?

Call back at €0.04 cent per minute from USA to Ireland.

Maybe that'll work for you

I understand that they have dirt cheap call cards in the US anyway.

Yep, so long as you can dial 1890 numbers, which I am sure you can. The rate should be the same as your local call rate.
