    Skype.
    Thats www.skype.com by the way.
    Not great for on the go, but at home with the laptop, u can chat away.
    And even use ur webcam.

    O2 allow for free international web texts.Combine that with AFT and you are laughing.

    I came across this one before, and the answer is simple, o2. Switch to a sim only option contract on o2, meaning its bill pay, with no contract. Pick one of the new o2 clear plans, depending on your usage. For 2 euro a month, you can add on an international caller add on, and using that you can make your calls for 25c a minute including vat. Combine this with the webtexts mentioned earlier, and its a done deal!

    Better but not perfect. Only brings calls down to 30c.

    I would suggest 3 also. Calls to uk charged at standard calls ie 35c per min then if you in to visit calls the same rate as over here and same for her.
