Students may decide to travel around Europe to gain valuable life experience, taking casual employment and having fun. For the students who are travelling it will be quite an experience but for parents it can be a worrying time. Knowing our children are safe is essential. However, keeping in contact either by mobile telephone or landline can be a huge expense which is difficult to maintain over a long period of time.

It is possible to obtain cheap phone calls from your landline provider but you usually have to sign up to a lengthy contract. It is quite common for prices to be increased during the term of your contract which means you end up paying more money. For the students who want to phone home it can be costly to use a mobile as some providers charge high amounts for international phone calls. Often it is a credit card which ends up bearing the costs and can take many years to pay off, especially if you are at university studying.

It is possible to find companies who provide cheap phone calls but you have to check all the terms and conditions carefully to ensure that you are going to save money on calls. Some companies will charge connection fees which can be quite high and will reduce your calling credit drastically. Other companies charge you for calls rounded up to a certain amount of minutes. For instance, a company may round your calls up to five minutes which means that a six minute call would cost you the price of ten minutes.

Here at Planet Calling we are open about all our charges so that you can budget for phone calls as well as billing you for each minute rather than charging for minutes that you haven’t used. We offer a fair and open system for all to use.
