Need a temporary VOIP provider in SA

[Sinbad]

Hi all
Need to make a bunch of phone calls to SA numbers from the UK to arrange some stuff for an upcoming trip.
Are there any prepaid or short-term SIP options anyone can recommend?

Thanks

Skype?
2.4p/min on subscription?
(60mins free if you have office 365 already, I think?)

Don't realllllly want to subscribe, but it's an option, thank you.

Anyone else with ideas?
@PBCool is this something you can hook me up with?

Thanks!

Not sure if it is a contract or month to month.

I see I can do a 1 month free Skype trial with 100 minutes... I think that is the answer

Lots of options and a great easy to use prepaid system.

I was going to say, are u sure its expensive phoning in? Because South Africa tends to milk/bleed its own consumers, not international ones lol.

I had someone come from work from the USA. I took him to Vodacom for a data sim and he's like "oh no, i got unlimited data roaming in South Africa for less than it says you guys charge for 10GB locally, so its not worth it" lol.

So yeah, just phone from your current provider, its bound to be cheaper.

Indeed.
But not for roaming - holy carp.
