BT is quietly trialling a service to give mobile users cheap rates for international calls by bypassing their service provider.
The service, BT Callwise, can be used by downloading a software client to a phone and registering for a pre-pay account. Users get to pay a few pence per minute, compared to the usual 40p-plus a minute mobile users are charged for making international calls.
Users can also check the cost of the call before they make it.

However, the service will be extended to work with other models "soon", according to BT.
