The call rates starts from 1p and the maximum range is 15 p.At the moment average rate is around 5p for all call providers.The most of them bill the calls per minute unlike simplecall.com

Cheap call to india- Free Trial offer

Simplecall.com - New call Provider for india .They charge per second and i think the plans are good after betamax companies.

Simplecall seems to be flexible in comparison to betamax as they have even got the toll free numbers although the call costs goes up by another 1p/minute.They are giving new members free trial worth 50pence.The quality was ok when i tried it on the new year eve.-

Talk4longer.net- still offers 0844 access to india.

Stay away from Virgin Media

I recently relocated and transferred the virgin media services along with me.I had a big shock when looked at my bill.Already life is tensed due to the recession and virgin media has further added fuel to it.
 Now these people are saying that they haven’t got any call recordings.What a rip off.Over the telephone i was told that they don’t have any call records and in the email they are just talking about the notes on the system.

On 05/03/2009, >KANA Customer Relations <ibmrtn_gpcr@virginmedia.co.uk> wrote: REFERENCE : xxxxxxx

Thank you for your e-mail dated 5 March 2009. I am concerned to read
about your recent experiences with Virgin Media regarding your billing.
I have tried to contact you by telephone to discuss this matter.
However, I have been unable to speak with you personally.

I’m sorry for any trouble that may have been caused.  Virgin Media aims
for the highest standards of customer satisfaction and is disappointed
when these are not met.

I understand you are unhappy as you have recently transferred your
services to your new address, you have stated that your services are now
£2.50 more expensive and you have not been given an explanation why.

I am sorry you have had this experience and that you have had to take
your time to email Virgin Media. I have looked at your account and can
see that you currently have the maximum discount available for your
services. It is possible that when you transferred your services the
discount you had previously is no longer available.

I am sorry if you feel you have been misinformed but Virgin Media is
unable to reduce the cost of your services any further. I have also
checked the notes on your account and it states you were advised of the
new cost of your services at their current price and that you were
entering a new 12 month contract.

I hope you are happy with the information I have provided, if you have
any further questions please contact me on 0845 045 1064 ext. xxxx Mon
to Friday 10:00 to 17:00.

Kind regards

Cheap Flights to India

Negotiate the credit card charges

If we look at the uncertainty of  the financial market ,it does make sense to buy the tickets using the credit card.The most of airline/agents charge 5 pounds service card for using the credit card.This fee can be negotiated with the local travel agent(if they quote same price) and i got the charge reduced to zero with primetravels.com over the phone.I made the point that i can get quidco discount too (quoting the price from ebooker),so if you don’t want to waive the charge means that I’m going to buy the ticket from the ebooker.
The credit card booking offers lot of advantages than using the credit card when it comes to the consumer protection laws.

Air tickets to INDIA

Air Travel

The cheaper air ticket to india seems a mirage after looking at the prices on the UK websites.The Zuji Australia website is offering some tickets at throughaway prices.Unbelievable to some ,but it is true as i have got my own ticket for 235 gbp including tax.The tickets are available from most of the UK Airport and are non-cancellable & non-refundable.The tickets are also available at bit higher price from travelocity usa and northwest airlines websites.

Cheaper calls from USA to UK mobiles

Any clues?
I can see only rebtel as the cheapest option to call uk mobiles from USA.
Retention offers (mobile phone contracts)

The cash backs are risky at the moment and i have decided to refrain from any new cashback contracts until june 2009.That’s why i have opted for the retention deal with my network(O2-UK) for 20 pounds a month (600minutes+unlimited landline calls +nokia 6300).This deal is not that excellent but still no doubt ,it is the safest option in the current market scenario.

Refurbished camera

I have purchased a new refurbished camera from kodak shop .The camera has got excellent features(10x optical zoom) which really tempted me to order it straight away .
