Skype is handy but not everyone in the UK has it so I find the call2dot com system better as I can dial anyone at home regardless of whether they have internet access or not. You can set up your calls in advance also so if yo have limited acces to internet you can enter a time later on in the day for your call to be made when you may not have access to the internet.

Thanks for this info, sounds easy enough, ha ha, will check it out, then brave an internet cafe when I get there, I'll be asking Random Bloke again meethinks.
