I am back in the UK now whilst waiting for my wifes Visa to drag it's way through the 1000+ of Beurocratic in-trays at the Embassy. I'm therefore calling her from the UK almost everyday and i am using JoyTelecom (via access number) which is costing 8p per minute. Has anybody got details of phone companies who are cheaper than this? I think 8p per minute is reasonable but i have heard there is some doing it at 1p per minute

Cheers

Mr BJ

Try Skype its free !

Only free if the person you are ringing has SKYPE, otherwise you can buy Euro tokens on line with skype, My thai wife has a number she phones Thailand from the UK, 3p Per Min, this is even cheaper than skype rates, i will get the number off her and post it on this forum.

Try telesavers, telediscount and alphaeasy. All cheaper than 8p a min.

Telesavers is 3p to a Thai mobile but not always available due to high demand.

Do a google on "cheap calls UK Thailand".........

Oops I see Rinrada beat me to it whilst I was posting....

Dialaround, Dialwise and Telestunt all do 1ppm to either landline and/or mobiles.

i use story asia .. i live in london and you can usually pick up a 5 pound card for 3.50 ... you can dial a free phone access number and get about 90mins to a mobile and even more to a landline

Thanks people for your replies,

I found that www.dialaround.co.uk and www.dialwise.co.uk both only charge 1p per minute to mobiles. My Missus can yak my head off for hours (love her to death though) so within 2 weeks i'll probably have saved enough for a return fareto BKK!!

What a top site this is, only found it the other day. Keep it up.

No probs Thaicoon but the thanks have to go to the top people on this site. Just got off the phone my self and yes it works great (some of these types of numbers are poor quality but these work great). My wife will be happy when (if) she gets here as she'll be able to call her family all day now without me "yak yaking" her!!

As for having 6 Thai lady's in the house....Heaven or ###### ?? Wouldn't mind popping round for some of that loverley food though. Mmmm
