More On Low Cost Telephone Calls

A post on Irish Eyes reminded me to update my comments on low cost telephone calls

My son returned to China last week. He was unable to call the designated call2 number from his mobile. He discovered that, in China, you must have a large credit in your 'pay as you go' mobile before you can dial international numbers. He had to call a UK number and hang up (no cost!) to instigate a call. Research on the website revealed that he could instigate the callback by SMS message. Problem solved. He was able to call Ireland from his mobile in Shanghai for 4c+vat and the cost of the SMS message.
