There are a number of providers in the UK that offer calls to Thai landlines and Mobiles for 1p per minute by using special rate numbers :

I have just been through all the cheapest ones on here and none provide a VOIP gateway. As far as I am aware 1p per minute from UK to Thai Landline or Mobile, is cheaper than any other provider eg skype etc.

I just wondered if anyone knew of similarly cheap providers that have a VOIP gatweay ?

At 1p per min, it is cheaper to call a mobile in thailand from the UK, than it is to call one from Thailand !

Looks like this one might dissapear..

Does any one know of any companies that provide call termination in thailand to land lines and mobiles for better than 75 satangs per min ?

Cheers

Bump - any voip users in Thailand or calling Thailand know about this ?

What do you mean by a VOIP gateway? We're using VOIP from Thailand to the UK and yes, 1p per minute is a very good rate.

I expect that the calling card numbers use VOIP networks to complete the call but why would that worry you?

If you're looking for a VOIP gateway in Thailand, remember that it is officially illegal here...

Theres some great VOIP phone being produced in China now and you can get them for very little - I got a good one via the US for about £20 - I know I paid over the top but i needed one before going to LOS. Have used it and it is great.

All the call providers in the UK that offer calls to LOS for 1p a min do not provide VOIP gateways. Some available i the UK that do are call18866 and 1899 (I think) - there are others - but all are 3p per min or more - in fact alot more.

If you look arounf there are sites that people auction or offer termination minutes to a specific country, From some of these it is obvious that is is not lega and the resident telecoms co would be well p*ssed off about it. So can understand the comment about VOIP gateways being ilegal in LOS. Actually, anybody resident in LOS with a good local calls package and a broadband connection could make a bit of extra money by doing this.

What I would like to know is how the UK companies can offer calls to LOS land and mobile phones for 1p per minute. If I could find out there routing then it may be possible to tap into that.

Is there really no local VOIP services available in LOS ? What I mean is Thai offerings for VOIP. I guess LOS may not have telecoms deregulation like the UK.

Do you get mobile packages in LOS that have inclusive minutes ? If you think how much of these get wasted, these could be used for VOIP services and the owner would get a kick back too.
