Telephone Calls UK-Morocco
Mar 23, 2013, 1:44 PM

Can anyone suggest a reliable, cheap, calling company for calls to Moroccan mobiles from either a UK landline or mobile (from recent experience).

Your help appreciated - thanks.

I don't know why, but it is very expensive to call Moroccan mobiles from the UK.

The two I use are 18185 (25p per minute for Moroccan mobiles) and O2 international PAYG sim (26p per minute to Moroccan mobiles and only 2p per minute to FIXED lines in Morocco).

If you are using iphones you can use tango or skype for free.

Morocco (mobile phones) for some unknown reasons is one of the most expensive places to call in the world from the UK - landlines are more reasonable. I usually use Planet Numbers when I need to.

Ive had a lot of problems with Skype in Morocco (dropped calls, poor quallity etc) - I have been told that it is blocked by Maroc Telecom, I dont know if ths is true or just rumour but I hear some of the Gulf countries have done similar.

Some of the other similar internet calling do seem to work ok though as they are not as well known.
