Okay you can try getting an at& t phone card. Which can get pricey. You can sign up with Vonage get free calls to Germany for a small extra fee. Or you can sign up with Vonage Pay extra 5 $ get a 1 800 number and your man can call you for free anytime. Thats how we did it when my man was overseas. Also there is skype. Upload minutes and then call for very cheap. Cell phone are always expensive here or there. Not sure if they have Vonage in the UK. Then skype would be your best bet. If he has a Pc you can call him skype to skype. Even in Yahoo message with call…..Or do skype to cell or landline for a minal fee. I called my sister from the us to germany..1$ was may be talking 2 h.

It depends what phone company you have (eg. t-mobile, 3, orange). Some phone companies give you free facebook and things, so you might need to check that out. Usually unless you have unlimited internet access it will cost you money so if I was you, I'd leave it because it can get very expensive. Hope I've helped..
