If you fancy a good old-fashioned call to someone abroad, you can pick up the phone to them free for 30 minutes if you’re an EE customer and claim this deal.
There are 150,000 free call bundles available and it’s first-come first-served (the offer launched on Mon 23 May). It’s valid for calls to international mobiles and landlines in 50 countries, including Australia, the USA and Ireland.
Simply text ‘CALL FREE’ (with a space between the two words) to the free number ‘150‘ and you’ll get a text back almost immediately saying if you’re successful or not. If successful, you should then receive a text a few minutes later confirming your 30 mins are active. You’ll then have seven days to use the minutes – you don’t have to use all 30 minutes in one call.
Why use it?
If you have family or friends abroad, the best free way to contact them is usually Skype, as this is always free (though you’ll need to be connected to Wi-Fi).
