Localphone is currently my personal choice for making cheap international phone calls from my landline phone. I’ve been using this service because of the cheap call rates to the UK and for it’s ease of use – once you’ve set up your phone numbers there’s no need to go back to their website. I’m very pleased with the service and the call quality is also very good.
Localphone can also be used when travelling or when calling from a number that’s not your own. You need to visit the Localphone website to get the local number for the area where you are, dial this number followed by your account number and you will be connected at the Localphone cheap call rate.
The Localphone rates are very good for international calls from landlines and mobiles. They are also very competitive with their cheap national call rates to landlines – the national calls to mobile phones are not so cheap and in some cases it’s cheaper to use your existing provider.
It’s very easy to check the call rates on the Localphone website, just enter both numbers and you will be given a cost per minute rate which can be viewed in US dollars, euros or GB pounds.

Incoming Phone Numbers
For a small monthly fee you can buy a local telephone number in many countries and have calls to that number forwarded to your existing landline or mobile number (or a Localphone voip account).
This is a good deal for many countries, but in the UK for example, it is possible to obtain free phone numbers that can be forwarded to telephone numbers overseas at no cost whatsoever. OpenTelecom is one such service which is reviewed on this site.
For ease of use and cheap call rates Localphone is a very good choice for making low cost international calls and cheap national calls to landline phones.
