Is there a cheap way to call USA?

I’m looking to ring a hotel from either my landline or mobile which I’m sure will be expensive. Is there a cheap way if doing this?

Yes! Zipcall.

If you dial 0333 232 3232

It asks you to dial the number you need but you need to put 001 in front of it.

Eg. 001 407 939-5277 (Disney)

The minutes just get taken out of your allowance

There are many similar systems (google lists loads) but zipcall is as good as the others.

If you need to do it a lot, skype or adding overseas calls to your mobile plan is probably the better option, but for a call every now and again these "number-piggyback-services" more than do the job

So is it the same in reverse, ie calling USA to UK?

Similar but you will need to google the equivalent US access number as the zipcall number given above is a UK number

I was going to say the above - lots of companies have a number via WhatsApp to call. That way it's free (wifi or on your data plan)
