Calling Ireland mobile/landline from UK mobile

[Daddy]

My son is about to start college in Scotland. I would like to put him on the cheapest PAYG package in UK for texts or calls to Ireland. Tesco have a prepay offer £15 top up which gives you in total £45 in credit. But texts cost 20p and calls to Ireland 25p a minute. Has anyone any knowledge of whats the cheapest he can get with a mobile phone operator that will keep costs down

Thanks

Does he have a smartphone? Could he just use Viber, Skype and WhatsApp to keep in contact free of charge when he buys data with his top up.
