For the last couple of years I've been using Google hangouts dialler to call my old dad in the UK.

It's been great because I can call his landline and it only costs 1c per minute.

Today I got a notification that they are discontinuing the service.

Any thoughts on a replacement?

It has to be able to go from my mobile to his landline.

*Google searches haven't been my friend because the results have been too US-centric.

Skype?

 

FYI Usually Skype to Skype my Dad, but for some reason it wasn't getting through recently so I tried the Skype to Landline option. His BT anti-Spam filter kicked in and it would only let me leave a message.

 

Can only assume they think Skype DDIs are "bad".

If you register your phone number with Skype and validate it then outgoing calls will present your number, not their random thing.
