Phoning uk from Turkey

[scouser2]

You can also buy phone cards from the PTT.They are called ALOCARD and cost 5TL. For this you get 55 minutes to the U.K.This is far cheaper than the 100 kontor cards.Also you can use them on your Turkish landline. We use them all the time as it keeps our phone bill down.

For anybody calling the UK from a landline in Turkey, if you enter either 1045 or 1095 before the number you get a reduced rate for your call.  Think it is instead of being 7 kurus a minute it takes it down to 3 kurus.  

Works through Turk Telekom so no extra bills either!

Take a laptop and a mike/headphones pop into a bar that has free wifi and use skype  
Hi Stoop, is Skype only free to landlines?

..Or a wifi phone with the Skype app downloaded and ready to use - much less bulky than a laptop

Jenny,

No Skype can be used on almost any laptop/computer/mobile phone that is wifi enabled - and its free. You need to download the program for your laptop and a mobile version for your phone. I use nimbuzz as well as skype. Both are free and easy to use.

It's free to talk to others who are on line and have skype or nimbuzz and if you want to just phone a landline you can but they do charge.

Prices?
