    Internation phone call charges.

    Thought I was calling my mate in Australia via FaceTime, turns out I had instead just called his number directly. 1 hour call... came to £84. In the days of Skype and VOIP.... what the F different are mobile phone companies doing to justify £84 for an hours call!
