I too thought if Skype was an option they'd be using it. Anything using the Internet may not be a good option so a good call plan etc. But the delay on Skype might not be as bad if there is a delay. I mentioned a speed test to the Maldives... ping (i.e. latency) was over 600ms compared to sub 20ms etc. but bandwidth was good. Download for me was 20Mbit/s and upload 1.5Mbit/s.
Skype from the UK end might still be an option using Skype Out to keep costs down?
My brother has Google Talk (or whatever its called) and it routes calls to the phone number where he is and if he's out and about it will be his mobile. On many occasions from the UK the number he has with Google just does not connect.
