Having used most of the leading names like Planet Talk, Onetel, Alpha Telecom, etc for my frequent International calls I have switched over to Telediscount for the last year and have not regretted it. Using their access number I can now call abroad for the cost of a local rate which is using the 0845 access number at 4p per minute daytime, 2p evenings and 1p weekends. I usually rush in a few calls in the mornings before going off to work because of the time difference abroad. Needless to say I can now afford chatting for a little longer when it is only 1p a minute, if I time it right!

I programme their access no 08452 445 445 on my phone to make it easier for dialing.

I also make alot of necessary calls to mobiles from my landline and the cheapest rate in the day and evenings was via Superline at about 18p a minute which is still horrendous. Now I can use Telediscount using their access number 09013 340 340 at only 10p a minute! That is a pretty good saving -if anyone knows of any cheaper rate please let me know! In the weekends its cheaper using BT's Friends and Family which I believe is about 8p a minute.

You can also use this rate from your mobiles using the access number of 0844 5660660 which charges 5p a minute calling all 5p per minute destinations on their list.

I also find the reception very clear when ringing abroad. I make frequent calls to the Far East and Australia.
