Whilst I thank you for your interest and speedy reply BigJohn, the site you listed only offers prepaid calling cards. Exactly the item that I was trying to steer away from. I have made use of such cards before, but they, and those offered by the site all have timed expiry from initial use. Also there is the concern that the credit on the card would expire before the content of the call. As I would be keeping in touch with my business and UK based customers, this would seem unprofessional, and highly unsatisfactory.
What I was trying to obtain was information offered in a similar vein to
www.niftylist.co.uk. I have found this site to be invaluable for money saving, and have pointed many friends to it.
However it would be nice to see if there was an international version of the site, or similar, for calling back to the UK.
I am assuming that other countries have a similar service to that offered to us, and the yanks, by the dial through providers. I know there are a couple of dial through services that operate using your credit card from Hungarian phone boxes, and these are great for convenience. But that then leaves the fact that each transaction will need to be coverted to sterling at the prevailing day rate + the appropriate bank handling fee, if applicable. So if suitable local funds are available, I would prefer to dial through.
Perhaps there is a provider that offers a sensibly priced call back service.
Ps. With respect to a previous conversation we've had regarding cheap service providers, I have followed your advice and singed with 1899. It works, it's cheaper when used properly, and has yet to be a problem. So thank you.
