Use your inclusive minutes!
From your mobile simply dial:
07744 974 333
At the prompt, dial your International destination number - followed by # only (do NOT press 'call' after your destination number).
(subject to individual mobile phone providers - some providers may charge for these calls)
For further details and destinations check out: http://www.simply-fone.com/
I heard about this from http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/

Also, I'm on the O2 LeisureTime plus contract on which 0845, 0844 and 0870 numbers are included within my inclusive minutes, so I can call internationally using any of the discount phone providers who use an 0845, 0844 or 0870 access number, such as:
www.telesavers.co.uk
www.telestunt.co.uk
www.telediscount.co.uk
www.ratebuster.co.uk
www.cheapestcalls.co.uk
I think O2 are unique among providers to include 0845, 0844 and 0870 in the inclusive minutes. Check the terms of your contract, or call and ask your network.
Terms & Conditions for O2 Pay Monthly contracts is here:
http://www.o2.co.uk/productss[....]tariffs/pay_monthly_terms.html
It says "Calls made in the UK to UK standard fixed-lines, voicemail menu access and retrieval, fax, and calls to free phone, local rate and national rate numbers (0845 and 0870).

Does anybody understand why/how this works ?
I don't really fancy the idea of inadvertantly landing a CUSTOMER with a big lump on HIS bill.
And the times quoted are these at destination or origin of the call ?

@Kippax:
It's for calling international LANDLINES so unless the person you are calling has to pay for incoming calls on his landline you needn't worry!
@p900Lover
I think its for all O2 Contract customers. They make no differentation in the Terms & Conditions on the web-site, but it may be worth a call to check for your particular tariff...

I think it works as follows- normally when one mobile network calls another, the network has to pay the other a fee. A clever guy went to one of the mobile companies and made them a deal. - I will provide you with extra income from other networks calling this number of yours and in return I want a cut of the profit and the call to be connected to a number of a cheap international telecoms provider who will give me very discounted rates as I am giving him a lot of extra business. Then the remaining profit he keeps for himself!
