I have BT's Softphone installed on my laptop. Can I use the service from anywhere in the world via a bb connection or only the UK?

I want to be able to call UK landline numbers from Taiwan, Australia, Thailand and Amsterdam.

Thanks all.

Absolutely. I used BT Softfone on a recent trip to Canada and it saved me a bundle!

Unless you subscribe to anytime calls, be careful to ensure you call during the offpeak hours [UK time] to completely avoid charges.

The free wireless internet services in some hotels are not really up to a consistent speed for making good VOIP calls so that may be something to keep in mind. Try and find hotels where you can find guest reviews of the services.

Thanks.

Yep I've got the Anytime package so hopefully it'll save me a fortune.

I'm used to getting £200 mobile bills after a trip. This'll be interesting...
