Mobile to mobile

Has anyone used a 3 mobile phone PAYG to call a mobile in Canada? If so how much does it cost per minute ? I looked up the 3 website and it looks like it's 1p per minute, it sounds too good to be true. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!

Seems a bit unlikely unless you are using some sort of VOIP service. The way I always check is to do a balance enquiry before and after a short call. I often find,however, that you get charged whilst the other end is ringing even if they don't answer.

There are applications for smartphones that make international and expensive 08*** calls using wifi and Internet so that charges are extremely low or none at all. Or use Skype! Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

3 Tariff Guide
Making international calls and texts from the UK.
We’ve negotiated special low rates to call some
countries, in addition to our standard rates, which
we have listed on the next page. To use these low
rates all you need to do is add a 3 digit prefix in front
of the international landline or mobile number, and
you can call from the UK to abroad from as little as
1p a minute.

Above it says "In addition to our standard rate" and if you look further, Canada is BAND 2 at £1.02p / minute Whistle

Thanks for the info guys , panic over . The long story is that my mums talktalk package gave her an hours free talk time to Canada (my brother stays there) . My brother has split from his wife ( after 38yrs) . He has moved into his own place & it doesn't have a landline. I called talktalk and it turns out my mums package covers a free hour to mobiles too. The customer services guy was good , she is now saving £4 a month off her bill and getting a free freeview box. Do it now ! Your a long time dead !!
