Someone has asked me about the least expensive calls from mobile here to home phone in bupapest (not sure if I have spelled that right.)
Can anyone help please?

Voip isn't suitable. It's for an older chap who doesn't have a smart phone and internet coverage is as good as non existent where he lives
Skype to landline then?
No internet for skype to run.
You can setup Skype to give standard landline number to forward the call.

A calling card then.
Skype to landline if he calls specific numbers.
I use localphone.com it is cheaper than skype and the quality is better. You can use like a callcard, setup a local number for your favourites or VOIP.
In your case:
1) sign up
2) register your AU mobile + location (e.g Sydney)
3) add your hungarian contact
4) add some credit (the minimum)Localphone will generate a 02 xxxx xxxx number for you to call your contact directly from your mobile.
Localphone will charge you US$ 1c/minute.
That looks good - uses the phone network, not data?
Found it thanks, looks to be voip.
yes it is voip based but you can use the phone network for access (like a calling card).
Calling cards use the phone network..
There's usually a bunch of hoops to jump through cause they usually use a callback feature..
ie you call them, tell them what number you want and hang up, they call you back (on a VoIP connection) and then they automatically dial the number you want (also on a VoIP connection) and then they link the 2 VoIP sessions so you talk over the regular phone but get something close to VoIP rates, and sound quality.
VoIP..
Nothing else can match it for price and it's baked into Android. (Presumably there's apps for iOS and Windows?
