    Phone calls to Ireland - help!

    Can anyone please recommend the cheapest way to make phone calls to Ireland? I'm using the 0060 prefix and it's quite good for calls to Canada and the UK. But the same prefix to call my sister in Ireland is pricey by comparison. Any suggestions and/or comments appreciated!

    1507 is very cheap and you can even place calls from your mobile phone

    If you want to use your computer, Skype has some reasonable rates.

    The "Unity Card" from IDT has a rate of HK0.384/min to Irish fixed line numbers which seems like quite a good rate to me (HK$2/min to mobiles).

    Wow! That was quick guys!

    I called the 1507 crew to get their rate - they're calling me back. I think that the "Unity card" looks good as I can get started at a low rate ASAP. My sister is 4 months pregnant and going through a lot of changes, so it's nice to talk frequently right now.

    Thanks for the prompt and helpful advice all!
