International Mobile Phone Costs?

[netibiza]

Any advice, if I phone my sister's English mobile from my spanish mobile in Ibiza when she is in Greece, how does the costing work out. Does she have to pay half the call? Or would it be better if I used my English mobile, would that be cheaper?

[DJHawkes]

well it depends what network you use for any of them, have you got that lyca sim card service over there?

who's her service provider in the UK? Texting would be cheaper. Depends entirely on which plan she's on, how much foreign received calls might be. OH is in Europe most of the time, we rarely speak, we text.

If you phone a UK mobile while it's in the UK it won't cost them anything.

You'll have to check if the roaming charges for your UK mobile are cheaper than the international charges for your Spanish mobile, but I suspect the Spanish one will be cheaper to make the call from.

She's on payg orange and I am on Yoigo in Spain.

I have Heard of lyca or Lebarra, and was wondering how good they are!

[netibiza]

She can't text (too old to learn) and I just want to chat to her.

we sell those sim cards in smiths and they are supposed to be very very cheap for international calls

Have read a lot about them, so will investigate.
