I remember seeing a thread on here a while a go but can't locate it. Can anyone recommend a company that offers cheap phone calls from England to Thailand using a landline or mobile phone.

I know there are phone cards that are cheaper, but I use Superline from the UK. 2½p a minute.

It's less hassle than finding a good calling card when I'm only in the UK for a couple of weeks at a time.

This could be the thread you were thinking of - mentions a few VOIP services that do free calls to Thailand.

Telephoning The Uk From Thailand, Real time cheap telephone calls please

0844 861 25 25 1p per minute from a BT line.

The rates from different providers tend to vary from time to time - a lot - i.e. the number that you used last time to dial a Thai landline or mobile because it was cheap turns out not to be so cheap a couple of weeks later [maybe not an accident if you think about it? ]. The solution is to check before you dial and someone has made that easy for you with a list that's regularly updated. Go to the link below and follow the self-explanatory procedure - and you'll find the best available rate of that type each time you call. I just checked while posting this and there is a rate of 0.5p per minute currently available to call Thai landline or mobile numbers......... next week/month it will probably be different.

Check before you dial. Enjoy.

Thanks everyone for the phone numbers and links, much appreciated. I find it unbelievable how cheap these phone calls are compared to BT's £1-10.

Here's another. Also Voipdiscount will give you an hour's free calls to landlines and mobiles. After that it will cost you 10 Euros for 120 days of calls - limited to 1000 hours a month.

I can second VoipDiscount. Lots of free hours to TH and thereafter only 0.01 Euro/min.

That should read 'limited to a 1000 minutes a month'
