An honest, up-to-date comparison of UK-to-Nigeria calling rates. We list the real, all-in cost - including the hidden access charges and subscription lock-ins that make some "cheaper" rates more expensive than they look.
All rates per minute, inclusive of VAT where the provider charges consumers VAT. "All-in" means the price you pay with no separate access charge added by your own phone company.
| Provider | Landline | Mobile | Caller ID | All-in? | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Call2Naija call2naija.com (TISA Home app) |
5.5p | 5.5p | 100% CLI | Yes | None - flat pay-as-you-go, no contract, no maintenance or connection fee |
| Boss Revolution | ~9.8p | ~9.8p | Varies | Yes | Flat but nearly double Call2Naija; promo plans change |
| Lebara (UK) | 12p | 15p | Standard | Yes | Pay-as-you-go is dear; mobile dearer than landline; cheapest rates need a Lebara plan |
| Lycamobile (UK) | ~15p | ~15p | Standard | Yes | Out-of-allowance PAYG; best value needs a Lyca SIM and bundle |
| Localphone | ~12p PAYG | ~12p PAYG | Varies | No | Cheaper "~7.5p" rate only with a paid monthly subscription |
| Dial-around cards (0844/0871/09) | "from 8p" | "from 8p" | Usually none | No | Your phone company adds a 25-65p/min access charge on top, plus per-call connection fees |
| Vodafone / O2 / EE (UK networks) | ~£1.50 | ~£1.50 | Standard | Yes | Standard out-of-bundle international rate - very expensive |
Rates based on publicly available information as of June 2026 and may change. Call2Naija is an app-based service (TISA Home) used alongside any UK SIM. Sources: providers' own rate pages (Lebara, Boss Revolution, Lycamobile, Localphone) and published dial-around access charges.
For a genuine pay-as-you-go call to Nigeria with your Caller ID showing, Call2Naija at a flat 5.5p/min inc. VAT is the cheapest honest option, clearly undercutting Boss Revolution (~9.8p) and Lebara (12p landline / 15p mobile on pay-as-you-go). The headline "from 8p" offers are dial-around numbers with large hidden access charges - not real pay-as-you-go rates.
If a service claims to beat 5.5p, check the small print for one of these:
Call2Naija has none of these: 5.5p/min, all-in, inclusive of VAT, pay-as-you-go. The price you see is the price you pay.
The cheapest genuine pay-as-you-go rate is Call2Naija (powered by the TISA Home app) at 5.5p per minute inclusive of VAT - one flat rate for landline and mobile, with 100% Caller ID relay and no access charge. By comparison Boss Revolution is around 9.8p, and Lebara charges 12p to landlines and 15p to mobiles on pay-as-you-go. Dial-around cards advertise lower headline rates but add a 25-65p per minute access charge.
Headline rates below 5.5p usually only apply to paid bundle or 12-month subscription customers, or are dial-around numbers where your phone company adds a separate access charge of 25-65p per minute, or they carry maintenance and per-call service charges, short credit expiry and per-minute rounding. Call2Naija's 5.5p is all-in, inclusive of VAT, pay-as-you-go, with no contract.
Yes - one flat 5.5p per minute inclusive of VAT to every Nigeria number: MTN, Airtel, Glo and 9mobile mobiles and all landlines, with no difference between mobile and landline.
Yes. Call2Naija uses 100% CLI (Caller Line Identification), so the person in Nigeria sees your real UK number and can call you back. Many dial-around services and calling cards cannot relay your Caller ID.
