Travel Departures: Phone war
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.MERCURY Communications (0500 500194) is offering travellers a Calling Card which it says provides savings of up to 25 per cent on the rates charged by BT for its Chargecard calls.
Like the BT Chargecard, the Mercury Calling Card is available without cost and can be used to make calls from almost any phone in the UK and from the majority of phones overseas, without the need for coins or a special phone card.
To use the card, customers dial a FreeCall number, enter the card number and PIN, and then dial the telephone number they require.
On calls made from abroad to the UK, Mercury claims substantial savings compared with BT rates. For example, for a one-minute call from Canada to the UK, Mercury charges pounds 4.95, compared with the equivalent BT rate of pounds 6.37.
