Prior to increased competition from such services as Skype and Vonage, customers wishing to make overseas calls were at a distinct financial disadvantage. It was not unusual as recently as 10 years ago to pay over 1 pound for each minute of long distance talk time. Today that same 1 pound per minute cost can be cut down to little as 10 pence, provided one arranges for an international phone service contract.
Almost all major phone line providers in the United Kingdom offer plans for overseas calling. A recent study by consumer assistance for a telecommunications website, points out that 86% of all international calls placed from the United Kingdom are still being made by customers not using an international phone service.
When surveyed most of these customers report that their calls abroad are usually made on the spur of the moment and they do not feel they could save sufficiently over the cost of the monthly contract addition charge by their landline providers.
This situation literally and figuratively rings false as the monthly add on for low cost contract international rates resulting in extremely cheap phone calls overseas averages only around 10 pounds per month. So this means that anyone who spends as little as 15 minutes per month talking to friends or business associates on the continent would find themselves an advantage by subscribing to even as simple an offer as the international freedom add on from BT.
