Other possibilities depend on your current contract, how many
inclusive minutes you have, do you have any data etc. etc.
You could look at Rebtel and see if that would work out any cheaper.
You could also look at doing callback using voxalot and voip
provider(s) of your choice.
There are also various systems for calling via SIP voip and even the
dreaded Skype. For example '3' do free Skype calls even on PAYG. If
your g/f had Skype on her mobile too then you'd just pay for data.
There are various applications you can use for SIP voip, Fring for
example, that is worth checking out. Also, if you have access to WiFi
you can use that in various ways to reduce call costs.
Short of writing a blog on this I would advise that if you want to
investigate any voip options that you can also post on
uk.telecom.voip
