Saying that, from my landline (in the UK), I can call a mobile phone in Canada for less than I can call a mobile phone across the road. Using a calling card, I can call Oz for 3p/min, but it will set me back 14p/min to call a UK mobile via this. Telecoms is a mad, mad, crazy, daft, silly, game. But I love it. Nick.
