Prepaid calling cards mean you buy a card for a flat rate and then money gets deducted for each call you make. Call rates can vary so make sure you choose one based on the country you want to call. Prepaid calling cards are available from nearly every newsagent in London so you won’t have problems finding one. Or you can buy one in advance from one of these providers: Of course, there are many more companies selling these calling cards so check the latest deals online.

On the back of each card, there is a toll-free number (0800 in the UK) that you dial before dialing your destination number.
