Hi, I have just found a cheap way to make calls from UK landlines to Turkish landlines and Turkish mobiles.
UK landline to Turkish landline 1 pence/minute. Phonecheap.
UK landline to Turkish mobile 4 pence/minute. Budgetcom.
The numbers work with UK mobiles but the cost is higher (20 pence/minute with Orange).
For UK landline to Turkish landline dial 0844 861 3838, listen to the prompt that tells you the price of the call. Enter the number you wish to dial, including the international dialing code and press the hash key.
For UK landline to Turkish mobile dial 0844 428 5353, listen to the prompt that tells you the price of the call. Enter the number you wish to dial, including the international dialing code and press the hash key.
There is no conract or additional fee, the cost of the call will simply appear on your usual phone bill.
Hope this is helpful. It will save me a fortune calling friends and family as I don't live in Turkey yet.
For those of you who have used Dialwise I think these are sister companies. I have called talktalk (my uk phone provider) and they have confirmed that the call charges are as stated. It might be worth checking with your phone provider if you are not with talktalk.
If you have any questions I will try to help.
Helen.
