Cheapest way will be on your landline if you have one. If you can, get the phone number for the hospital ward.

Just pick up the phone and dial. If you really can't afford to pay that bill, fook it, send the bill to me and I'll pay it.

Stop looking around and call your Mum.

Seriously.

The European laws have changed. It really doesn't cost that much anymore.

It costs the same as if the phone was in the UK. The difference is that she will also get a charge.

This is correct. They will pay extra to receive a call whilst roaming. You will just pay your normal tarriff or use your normal minutes.

Either way stop worrying about costs and start ringing.

0047 and remove the 0 from the beginning of the hospital telephone number

the ship will have a sat phone number and the port will have a ships agent

So more then likely there is a oh st number on the cruise companies website.

Phone this and get the gents phone number

The agent will be dealing with all port matters


Also you have more chance of finding someone who speaks excellent english in norway then you do in bradford

He is probably better off in Norway then he is in the UK
