mrbojangles Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaicoon Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 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.

Thanks Custard, But she is in her home Village (Chaiyaphum) where they haven't even heard of sliced bread yet never mind the internet!! Mr BJ 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.... Edited June 3, 2005 by dereklev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 Mr BJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
