What's a safe reliable and cheap way to call USA?
 

Hi guys.

Looking for a recommendation here. Need to make a 1 1/2 hour call on
Wednesday 11th daytime. Can't use Skype because it's a conference call
where I need to enter a code. Never managed to do that with Skype (or
can you?)

So what's a reliable and cheap way to phone from my landline. I have a
mobile, but can't image that's cheaper.

Very grateful for all advice!

I have been using TeleDiscount for several years now @ 1p per minute
from a UK landline.

Just dial their access number:

0844 861 78 78

then dial the USA number you want starting with 00 1, and that's it.

From a UK landline to USA landlines or mobiles, the rate is the same.
It appears on your BT (or other telephone provider's) phone bill at
1.0p per minute or slightly less.

Does anybody know if I can dial a number and then enter a code? Since
I'm using my landline the keypad on the telephone should be
functional, I hope!

Yes, that works with TeleDiscount. I have a customer with an
automated exchange; I key in the four figure extension code.

Ah, you mean while the call is in progress you can send a DTMF (touch)
tone from your handset keypad. Yup, shouldn't be a problem doing that
through 1899.com

On Skype this is also possible. Enter the following in the help search
on Skype.com "How do I dial an extension" which will show you where the
touch tone pad is hidden.

Hi there - that's just what I want but alas, on my version of Skype
(Mac) nothing comes up in help search when I enter "extension". Any
ideas how I can find this out?

On the current Windows version it's the icon to the right of the volume
slider, choose "display dial pad"

Ok - I can see. Or rather I can't see since it doesn't seem to be
there on the Mac version

Anyone have a Mac?
