Hi, will be visiting Andorra for a Ski holiday shortly and very concerned about being able to stay in touch re sick relatives at home who only have a landline and thus can't use Skype/VOIP/WiFi based solutions.
I see the local Andorra mobile phone network is very expensive either via a local SIM or with mobile roaming charges of £1/min or more with UK network providers. I wonder whether there is coverage at some points from the French or Spanish networks which would benefit from EU roaming charges which are very much lower (e.g. 15p/min)? Even if these were only available from set locations on the slopes, it might be possible to call home when there and set the mobile manually to use that specific network.
Alternatively, are there still phone cards which offer low rates to call the UK from Andorra from a landline?
Appreciate any advice or experience.
TIA
