There are international pay as you go sims available and unlimited tariffs can also give you an very cost effective way to call internationally.

Currently Orange has an offer for international calls named Camel. The offer at the moment provides 240 free international minutes when the top up is £30 after this calls are 10-30p to mobiles and landlines. Poland is now 5p per minute to landlines and 25p per minute to mobiles. Calls to UK mobiles on this tariff are at this moment priced at 20p per minute.

With calls from O2 they currently allow you access to calls at 1p per minute to landline and mobiles in China, India, Poland and some more countries. Some countries' charges are a little more than this but are still under 40p per minute. The other benefits of O2 are free calls to UK O2 numbers and some O2 prizes. This temporarily available deal is dependent on you topping up at least £15 at a go. Now this can mean 25 hours of international calls or 150 texts. Balancing the international calls and texts and your UK calls means you can stay in contact internationally as easily as you can call your neighbour.

The great thing about choosing truly unlimited mobile data plans is that it allows you to use Skype, the free online calling and video app, to call other Skype users for free. This can apply internationally and even if the person you are calling doesn't have Skype you can get a discounted rate which only uses your mobile data allowance (internet allowance) rather than your free minutes or texts.

International communication by mobile is dependent on the network coverage in your city and the city you are calling abroad. This means that in some countries it is still difficult to communicate, however this is constantly improving.
