can anyone tell how they call the uk and the prices?? i have called a couple of times from my home phone, was on for 7 1/2mins with the charge of 180bt, i wondered if this was average or not????

6p per minute?

Try calling from the UK to Thailand. It'll cost you 80p per minute from your home.

if you are calling from a landline dial 001-809-country code and the number, works out to about 24 baht a minute. its called efone. alternatively you can use your computer (msn messenger works fine if the other person has it too) however, expect delays. but, considering you can talk as long as you want just for the cost of the connection, its not too bad. you'll need either speakers and a microphone or a headset, i use msn messenger but netmeeting works too.

Or try http://www.calls.in.th for only 10 Baht/minute I think
