Mobile Phones - Prepaid USA

[woldm1]

I am trying to find a solution to my telephone issue and was wondering if anyone can help. The villa I have rented includes International Calls to the UK. However this is to Landlines only. My Daughter can only be contacted by her mobile back in the UK and I need to know the best and cheapest solution to do this? I have a Tri-Band mobile phone I could take with me and buy a pre-paid card but I need cheap International calling to mobiles in the UK. Can anyone help. I am in Florida on Thursday October 7th - so urgent.

We used to use IDT Global Call - you can phone from the US to the UK for 10c a minute http://www.idt.net/personal/cards/gc/

Is this all on-line or do they send out a card. If it is online - no problem. If they send a card, I will not be there?

They send a card to your UK address, but you don't need the card to make calls, once the account is set up , you just need to make a note of the access numbers, your account number and pin and you're good to go. At least that's how it always used to work, I haven't had the need to use ours for quite a while.
