What is the cheapest way to call United Kingdom?
It depends on how you call. App-to-app calls are free if the other person has the same app. To reach a regular phone, a calling card can be cheaper per minute, but it comes with access numbers, PINs, fees and expiry dates, and the call usually doesn't show your number. EzyRing charges $0.030/min from your browser with no subscription, credits that never expire and your own number as caller ID. A $5 top-up gives ~167 minutes.
