Cheap international phone calls by AndrewM
Just wondering how you guys make cheap phone calls to friends and family overseas and if your're happy with the service quality. Anyone use phone to phone via a local Mauritian access number for super cheap rates? Anyone use Vonage? Thanks Andrew

Hi there, I use City Call Ltd, prefixing with 070. Rs4.90 per minute to the UK. Works for me. There's also a company called Yellow who offer similar rates. Regards, Kaybee Read More
