Going to London? Use up my phone card!

We just returned from a weekend trip to London. We bought a 5 pound phone card, but used less than half of it. If anyone will be in London and wanting to call the states, the access numbers are below...

For access dial:
0845 451 9111 - Local Access
020 7124 9111 - London Access
0800 594 9111 - Freephone

PIN: 873 2062 834

Have fun!

TravelingMom - probably too late now - but you can most likely use up your card even now that you're back home. Every phone card I've used in the UK (probably 6 or 7 from 4 different companies) was usable stateside too.

One I used in London, then in Paris and then from LAX when I was on my final leg home . . . . . .

I would think a "half-full" phone card would be a good reason to plan another trip back to London. I always use the excuse that I need the reading time on the plane. Next time I'll buy a phone card then I will just "have" to go back.

Janis - Thanks...I thought I could probably still use the minutes state-side, but I have more cell phone minutes than I'll ever be able to use anyway...I figured a traveller in London would have more use for the card minutes!

AisleSeat - I wish I could plan my trip back to London, but we already have a California trip planned for June and we're in the middle of trying to sell our house in PA, buy a new one in VA, and all othe other fun stuff that comes with relocating...

(GRIN) Only some of the cards are only good for 90 days or so.

Keith,
I don't think that is bad news. I'll just have to plan faster,
