Mobile Phones

OOPS !

I meant to say RATEBUSTER in my post, not Ratebusters.   They are different companies.

Try www.ratebuster.co.uk   for 1p per minute to landlines and 13p to mobiles.

JeanSis will understand that I was in shock earlier at seeing some sunshine in Somerset !!

Is it 10p per minute dialling from uk to a uk mobile in spain and if so is there a cost to the uk mobile in spain for the international portion of the call as is the norm from a phone in uk.?

Hi JC1,

No, the 10p rate is to a Spanish Mobile only!

Its still a RIP off price to receive a call from the UK to your UK mobile. There are moves to bring down the cost of Roaming around europe with your Uk mobile but not aware of any great deals yet. Vodaphone charge 75p to receive a call on a pay monthly tariff then you start using up your contract minutes. Evenings and Weekends you can benefit from "Stop the Clock" after a 3 minute call........

Thanks Miket....sensible thing is to get a spanish mobile then...

Ive been reading this and wonder if anyone knows the price of a pay as you go chip for the UK. Every time I go there my phone bill hits the roof so I thought of getting a chip for my phone and using that - famly can call me with the landline cheap rate then

Try Tesco or Virgin - you can get a Pay as you go for about £25 these days including the phone I seem to recall - almost cheap enough to buy a new one every time you go back - I am sure last time I went back got a couple of Nokia phones for 25 a pop with a SIM card and £10 credit on the phone - how bloody bad is that

!MUst go battery nearly nearly dead - no more satisfaction for me tonight

Thamks for that - think Ill go Virgin!

Rixxy - And your not!! For shame girl

With two kids I tried the immaculate conception arguement, but it didnt work for the second one!!!!!

I've just switched to TalkTalk for there Talk3 International package.

You can I believe get a sim which If you are a TalkTalk customer cheaper International mocile calls.

Will look into it further methinks having read posts in here and my last few mobile bills every time I go to Spain.

Cheers guys 'n Gals

Rixxy you can by a Tmobile SIM card for 50p then calls are 12p a minute, cheaper if you call other Tmobile users. Check out their web site. www.t-mobile.co.uk

Anyone tell me the best Spanish SIM card to by (Pay as you go)

Want to get 2, one for the old git, in case he gets lost, one for me too find out when he is coming home!

Also, does the credit stay on them indefinitely or does is drop off it they aren't used for a couple of months?

Kind regards,

Hi JeanSis and everyone who has contributed!!

Since starting this thread there have been some very interesting and very helpful suggestions!!  There seems to be so many options, but we have decided to go for buying from Carrefour on Pay as You Go.  We will be at Playa Golf III 19 March for a week.  So looking forward to staying there for the first time!!

thanks again everyone for your advice !!

Try www.sim4travel.com  no charges to receive calls

I bought a carrefour sim card some time ago as the calls seemed to be the cheapest around at 15c per min. Typical though is the connection charge of 22 cents that they dont tell you about on the advertising bumph. Its not until you open the pack that you find this out.

Thanks for all the info folks.

My phones are unblocked so no probs there.

Jencoo - Is that right 22 cents for connection charge, that's peanuts anyway, or did you mean Euros???!!!!

22 cents is peanuts your right, but it is on every call not a connection to the network. Peanuts no its cocanuts.
