They give you a local number in place of the international, but it only really works for people you call regularly. For frequent contacts use RebTel.

It's £5 a month (you can opt in and out on a month by month basis) and you get calls to US landlines and mobiles for 5p a minute. This bit of the Vodafone website has some more information. <a href="http://www.vodafone.co.uk/international" rel="nofollow">www.vodafone.co.uk/international</a> <br>Regards,<br>Ben<br>Vodafone International Team Can I suggest you take a look at Vodafone International for contract customers?

Calls to the USA are 1p per minute and there's no pre-registration or anything fiddly. You just send a text message and get billed £5 - this is your sms calling card. You'll receive a PIN and a phone number which you need to dial, using it as part of your inclusive minutes. Then you enter your PIN and the number you want to call and you'll be connected. So for £5 you'll get 500 minutes rather than 4...and Vodafone get their fair bit out of the £5 ;-) Hope this helps!

If you can't call using wifi, it'll initiate a call to a landline (using bundled minutes). Good call quality IMHO.
