November 25, 2011 | Rebtel

Are you in any doubt as to what is the best and cheapest way to make an international call from the UK? Do you feel perhaps that you may get a better deal using your landline? Do you feel your mobile service provider offers the best value? Or do you believe using one of the international calling cards available is the cheapest option?

Then let’s check the veracity of each claim by comparing prices for making a 20 minute call between the United Kingdom and the United States.

Your landline provider

A well-known telecom company in the UK is offering customers the chance to make an unlimited number of international calls for £5 a month. The alternative is to pay £1 a month and receive a call rate from 2.5p per minute for international calls.

Your mobile phone provider

To call the US using your mobile with a famous provider in the UK can be expensive on a pay per minute basis. A cheaper alternative is to pay £10 a month and receive 100 minutes (to three specified numbers) as part of the deal.

International Calling Cards

With so many international calling cards available to call the US from the UK, it is hard locating the best deal for your situation, however one company is offering A maximum of 1600 minutes (minimum of 320) for £11.49.

All these deals may seem like calling rates for international destinations like the US have fallen drastically. They have done, but when you compare the prices above to Rebtel prices then it quickly becomes apparent how much you can save.

Other companies may advertise low prices, but with Rebtel, you may not have to pay anything at all. Why pay low prices, when with Rebtel, you can pay lower prices, or no price at all, for your call to the US?
