efficient ways of calling mobiles abroad?

[Tomcat]

I`m looking for the best ways of calling mobile phones abroad i say efficient as in preferably costing as little as possible. The thing is I have tried some of those access numbers and when i call my number i either have trouble getting through or theres bad reception and/or i get dissconnected where when i phone straight i get through and the line is very clear. I dont think phone cards include mobiles but i may be wrong. I am looking for ways/suggestions like a card or way i can call a mobile abroad that lowers my costs where i can still get through easy enough/get a reasonably good reception. I am calling from a BT landline.

There are many ways you can make calls from abroad
1.Use smartphone calling apps like Skype,Line etc.
2.Some specialist internet telephony provider that allows two people with web access to make free calls via landlines. It only works for a limited range of countries, mainly North America, Australasia and Europe, but is a very useful tool for those who prefer the normal phone. You'll have to add some credit to the account but can then have unlimited free calls for six weeks.
3.If both you and the person you're calling have inclusive minutes, of some network provider, will allow you to make free calls. It's slightly more complicated than just picking up the phone; while the call is routed through the internet for the main part, it works via a callback system so you're effectively dialing a cheaper local rate at both ends.
4.Use Wi-Fi for calling, messaging, conferencing and accessing the Web to avoid international roaming charges .
5.This is the easiest option ,as long as your cellphone uses the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM),do it will work overseas.Check with your wireless provider.
6.You can buy local or regional SIM cards in any region that uses GSM, including all of Europe.These SIM cards let you keep almost all the same benefits you enjoy at home. But you pay local rates: With the better cards, you can call back to the U.S. for less than 50 cents per minute—much less, in some cases—plus local calls are less than that, and many incoming calls cost nothing.To use local sim card you may need to unlock from network lock .It is not a big issue to get it unlocked, you may be able to do it by finding the relevant software in the internet or by an online provider like OnlineGSMUnlock.com
