Inexpensive way to phone London?
Reviewing some London info I saved I found a post from Nov 2002 on an inexpensive way to phone the UK. Has anyone used this number and can verify it's really true?<BR><BR>marciab wrote:<BR>use 1016868 to call London. 7.9 cents a minute. You can make a lot of overseas calls at that rate. You just dial that access number, then dial as you normally would. It gets billed on your local phone service. <BR>

It works in most but not every last part of the USA. Try it and if it works, you have it.<BR><BR>Incidentally, there are even cheaper ones. Check out 1016400 on the web...it may be half the price.

Heads up! I found info that some of the 1010 numbers now have a monthly fee. Called the service folks at the ones I used (1010 636 or 1010 811), and sure enough there is a $2.95 basic monthly charge for each month in which you use the number. So I went to www.10-10phonerates.com and compared my needs with the rates listed there. Ended up with Everdial (www.everdial.com), which has low per minute inter-state,intra-state and international rates, no monthly fee and charges in six-second increments. And you don't have to dial a1010 *** access code.<BR><BR>No, I don't work for Everdial!

Oops...there's a slight error in that 1010 URL. It should be www.1010phonerates.com (no spaces). Also forgot to say that the monthly service fee was originated in February 2003. <BR><BR>There are other websites that may be useful. I typed "dial around" into Google. Check it out.
