Any info on International Calling to UK as well as short phone contracts while in UK for 6 mos?


short term contracts

Son will be an International student in the UK this Spring ‘10.
Looking for experiences with phone deals/cheap calling rales/plans to communicate with my son.
He will look into phone deals to call locally and not have a long term contract since he will be there for only 6 mos.
Anybody have ideas or experiences with this issue….all serious answers appreciated!!!!

    I’ve found that when travelling abroad for months at a time the best way to avoid dealing with cell phone international contracts and roaming charges is to simply buy an international calling card. These are really affordable and they will save money in the long run. The important thing to remember when using them is to always talk to as many people as you can on one call. The card’s value depletes much more rapidly the more times you connect. A ten dollar card will allow you to talk for about six hours as long as it is for ONE call. Establish a time for said traveler to call and try to have the whole family available for correspondence. In essence, he can get a local cell phone plan for use over there and call friends and family with the calling card from his cell phone. This is a great way to regulate the money spent on international calls. Also look into Google Voice or Skype.
