calls to UK using Mobifone

If you have a smartphone, skype is a winner (if your internet connection is fast enough).
I use it a lot, so I have a package that allows calls to UK landlines; I think it costs 10 quid every three months.

Unfortunatelly, Skype isn't an option for me. for one reason I can't top up the credits! Drives me crazy.

If it's a cell handset number you are calling +44 (plus the rest of the number without the first 0).

If it's a landline 00-44 (plus the rest of the landline number).

Banks often have special numbers for international callers that lets you bypass all the pre-recorded crap.

HSBC, being a lousy bank, has a special number BUT you need your ACCOUNT NUMBER (bank or CC) to complete quick access. (I did a credit check on the MD and got his home number - fastest reaction I ever had)

If you use Skype, you can share your information with the NSA and GCHQ. Indonesia communications are monitored by Australia - in Melbourne.

Try Google Voice with a $ 10.00 calling credit and the option to claim back bad calls online. ** Forget the expensive Skype credit, go get the subscription = a flat rate

Hye Ruth99, landline phone or a UK bank phone with a prepaid mobiphone, costs me for about 4 to 6 minutes 25 000 to 40 000 Vnd About.

You wouldn't think Mobifone is actually owned by Vinafone! Mobi has many bright ideas - VNPT ... thinks like a telephone company circa 1960.
