My fiance is in London and I am in California. Is there anyone in California that knows a phone card that can get exceptional rates? He is usually the one that calls but I would like to have one also . thanks.

Truth of Palestine

take time to watch , give yourself time to understand. Then make your conclusions.

Well it is not a phone card but vonage offers unlimited calls to the UK for $25/month. I believe you can also get a virtual UK phone number, so he can call you and it will be like a local call. You can also get a number for your laptop and call where ever you go and have access to high speed internet.

try one of these sites. they have free calling to UK by dialing a US number. Check it out.

http://www.allfreecalls.net/

http://freecalltheworld.com/

http://www.futurephone.com/

http://calls-for-free.com/

Also here is a website for your fiance to use in the UK to call you for free (cost of UK call)

http://www.yourcallworld.com/more.aspx

If you use your unlimited cell phone minutes at night time, it becomes free. Let me know how this works out.

We mainly use Skype (what a money saver!), but I do have a phone card from Noblecom.com that I keep at work in case I need to phone him from there. They email you the access number and PIN.

I use 10 10 987 as well -- just bear in mind that if you call your partner's mobile phone, it's 12 cents a minute.

Aaah yeh, I forgot about that. Probably best not to call English cell phones anyway. I don't even call them from England, the charges are a right rip off.

Hey Merijane,

I had actually seen a post about future phone on here, (all calls are free) It does not cover my country but it does cover a good amount of countries. I had a friend of mine whose BF is one of the countries that were listed and it worked!! It is totally free!!!! I believe it is www. futurephone.com or www.futurefon.com. I believe it to be the first one. If that does not work try www.tel3advantage.com I use that one and it is really cheap, and if you have any problems with cut minutes just call and they replace them with no problem. you can recharge and there is no card or pin to mess with. Plus you get free minutes for signing up, good luck, WJR

He can also get vonage in the UK which will allow him to call you for free, and with a virtual number, you can call him for free as well. It's been a lifesaver for us! I've got D's virtual number in my celly so I can call him whenever I want. Plus, with the web access and call forwarding, if your honey's out of the house, you can forward the calls to anywhere else...of course, to a UK mob would have a fee, but it's on his end, lol.

Also there's a 'referral' proggie...you sign up and whoever referred you gets a free month, and you do too. Then you can refer others and get the free months that way as well.
