Three has just announced that its PAYG customers will now reap the benefits from price reductions when calling friends and family abroad.

Three has cut the prices of calling international mobiles and landlines, with calls starting at just 2p per minute to countries including Ireland and Poland.

There are 25 key destinations included from all round the world, and to access you'll just need to dial a short code into your handset before dialing the regular number. This update to the service adds 13 new countries and more competitive pricing across the board

Prices start at just 3p per minute to Indian landlines and mobiles; 2p per minute to Polish landlines; 3p per minute to Chinese mobiles and landlines; 4p per minute to Bangladeshi mobiles and landlines, and 6p per minute to Pakistani landlines.

Calling landlines or mobiles in the USA now costs just 3p, as do similar calls to Canada, while Australia costs 3p per minute to landlines or 14p per minute to mobiles. Calls to Ireland meanwhile come in at 2p per minute to landlines and 14p per minute to mobiles, and phoning Germany will set you back 3p per minute to a landline or 12p per minute to a landline.

To access the service, all PAYG customers need to do is top-up their credit – something that already gives them a bunch of free texts, free data allowances and free Three-to-Three calls, and start calling. Full pricing can be found here.
