I'm about to leave England to go to Fiji, Tonga, NZ, Auz, Malasia, Thialand, South Africa, Malawi and Kenya. Does anyone know any good phone cards that will give me good rates to call back to England?
Thanks Reply to this

Deary me! Already got questions!!! Why not do what most people do and get cards when your travelling in that country. That or look for a web cafe with internet phone (costs the local rate).

Swiftcall is a good one for you to get your UK mates to have, then call them they call you back through swiftcall (cheeper than bt). All you do is phone home/ whoever and say - call me back on this number!

I would have emailed this - along with more friendly personal sh*t but you need someone to reply to make you look loved!! (which you are btw!) Reply to this

The future's Skype, baby! Download it from www.skype.com if it's not already on the computer you're using. When it's on the piss it's no good but more often than not it's great and costs all of 1.2p a minute to call any landline in the Western world and hardly anything more to call anywhere else.

And if your friends or family download it themselves you can have free video conversations; excellent for emotionally-charged mothers (and with a far better bandwidth than standard phonelines the sound quality can be great).

Mind you, if you've already started travelling, you've probably found all this out already.
