I have my UK mobile and a Swiss mobile. The UK is on an Orange contract and I only use it in emergancies. The Swiss mobile I bought from the Western Union in the Bahnoff, Basel. The Orange is 90pence per minute to dial the UK and 29p to recieve. The Swiss mobile (Lebara) is 4 rappen a minute to a landline and 29 rappen a minute to a mobile in the UK (free calls to other Lebara users). To call my wife in the UK I use Skype on the laptop which is free.

Hope this helps.....Mike
