Might just miss u but in case it just catch u / help others. As others have said getting 100% free will be near impossible cause network have to make money one way or other. But I think this deal might suit you depending how many calls you do it's what we use ourselves on our visit to family in Italy / travels around Europe for them to contact us

You get o2 pay as you go sim in uk. If you going to uk first that is great. To activate the o2 sim you need to put at least £10 but that no problem cause will need that credit anyway and more. Best get it from o2 store cause can get it free and got offer on which give more savings explain in a minute.

Now ask the store you want "my favourites" change your o2 tariff from default to "your country" or ask for o2 with that as default. Also ask for "Europe extra" to be added to the account as well.

Now the o2 store can credit the first month of both favourites and Europe extra onto your account which as tesco says "every little helps". Ask to put them on reoccuring so every month it renew auto and take money from registered card. Now what do you get for £20 a month you might ask?

Ok my favourites give you a landline number in either France, Spain, Italy or uk you can choose (uk is not advertise on o2 uk stuff but you can choose it). This landline number your friends / family can ring at price of calling landline number in that country. These numbers are genuine numbers not non-geo italian number can be in Rome or Milan. Spain Madrid, baralonca, France I think Paris and uk is watford. You can recieve upto 3000 minutes incoming calls to that number a month. If you go over 3000 minutes the number will stop working until the folllowing month. Also whilst in uk with the same Add on you get 3000 minutes you can use to call upto 3 numbers (landline if want to call mobile need to pay more) for no charge. (they need to be pre registered on account)

Now my Europe extra addon give you 3000 minutes of incoming calls to your mobile at no extra charge. So might see what we do now. If say next week we go to Spain. My wife family (and my family in uk cause it's free for them calling Italian landline than o2 mobile) call our Italian landline number link to my mobile. It than ring my mobile in Spain and than my wife and mum spend like an hour at a time with no big bill the following month

Now lastly why have your default tariff to "your country". Cause that give you allowances when you topup which you can use whilst in uk to contact aboard. The actual credit is not use hence they can be use for those add on. I think with £20 a month credit you get 200 units which each unit is worth either 1 SMS or 1 minute to any number in the world. Also o2 got a calling card which you can use from your mobile and cost £5 which can be use to call countries cheap

You can get something similar in Spain from o2 parent company call telefonia but prices might be slightly different. In france / Italy afaird don't know anything similar one can get straight away. But once you got it from Spain / uk you can use it in France / Italy as long as you keep paying the £20 a month.
