When we came to Calis in May (leaving our teenagers at home
), I accidentally left my mobile in the car at Gatwick (no, not accidentally on purpose, honest
)
We needed to contact home just to check on the kids etc and, rather than buy a new phone, I bought a phone card. It was really cheap, and each one lasted a couple of evenings (a call to the UK and one to Bulgaria where our distraught daughter was working - hence a long call every night.
)
If you only need a phone to ring home to check on loved ones, I think this is the cheapest way. It cost us about a tenner for the week.
An update - just realised Dave and Jackie that you are planning on spending long spells in Fethiye, with a view to moving there next year, so just ignore the above - definitely not the best way of ringing home long term.
Whoops, sorry!
