Calling from uk to usa

[blissgirl]

Hi guys my parents are going to america soon to visit my brother & family my dad has both a uk mobile (EE) old tarriff (his) and he has a american mobile now my question is witch would be cheaper for me to call if I had to?

It's free for you to call his EE mobile but he will be charged to receive the calls.
You are better off Skyping or using some other voip app.

He's on a very old EE tarrif he just pays for what he uses this tarrif no loger exists and what about his american mobile? (if calll it)

[MI5]

I assume he is PAYG? If so he will need credit on it to receive any calls, but he can receive texts for free.
For you to call a US mobile on your O2 PAYG phone it is £1.50 per minute and 20p to send a text.

[MI5]

Also, you could get an O2 International sim to call him from to his US mobile which would only cost you 2p per min.

Another thought just came to me.
O2 World Chat app http://www.o2.co.uk/apps/world-chat

@blissgirl If your dad gets a Three Pay & Go sim which will cost him around £20 minimum, you can call him for free, and he can receive your calls for free without paying any roaming charges. He can call and text back to the UK just using the tariff he's paid for. He can use his US sim for his calls and texts within the US.

@Bambino thanks for the advice I will tell him @MI5 I don't think it's Pay & go as he doesnt use any vouchers

Too add dont think world chat app will work as he has a samsung j700 very old phone

I'm sure you'll figure it out - Good luck
