Due to recent pricing changes, we thought it was worth
pointing out that, under some circumstances, it may now be cheaper to
make international calls from your mobile phone than from your landline.

and

to find out how much Virgin charge for calls to our access numbers.)
However,
other changes have also had an effect. For example, consider the rates
for calls to Iraq mobile. The Planet Talk Instant rate to Iraq mobile
increased recently, leaving the best rate to Iraq mobile showing (at the
time of writing) on http://www.lowphonerates.co.
However, the best rate showing on http://www.callsfrommobiles. co.uk/#I for calls to Iraq mobile from UK mobiles is (at the time of writing) 6p per minute, using Speaq.
This price excludes the cost of calling the Speaq access number, so
this is only really useful if you have plenty of inclusive minutes
available to use. The access number is an 03 code, and these access
numbers were discussed in a previous post: supposedly all inclusive
minutes packages are required to include all 03 numbers, but you may
wish to check with your service provider!
For calls to Iraq landlines, Speaq is still good at 3p per
minute, but (at the time of writing) Just Dial Instant has a 2p per
minute callthrough access number you may wish to use,
namely 0844-8381556.
Hopefully this example illustrates that it is worth checking the
rates available for international calls from mobiles. Meanwhile, happy
calling!
