Cheapest way to call back home ?!?!

Post by mrdegdeg »

What is the cheapest way of calling a mobile number in Somalia. Viber is not a option and I want to make the call from my mobile directly. I'm on a mobile contract so calling them is a big risk and even them calling me I heard I can be charged for. I have another SIM card I can use and was wondering if there was other cheaper alternatives i.e. calling cards ? BTW im calling from the UK

Thanks

And emails.

I never communicated with someone from badiye, that's a tough one, like the above member suggested perhaps your family member should get a U.S line. So you could talk to them freely. Without any phone card.


P.s

Remember the ancient phone card? Do the manufactures even make those kind of phone cards anymore? :lol:
