monty Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 There's a company called lycamobile. They sell simcards in most European countries. Geared towards short term tourists/ business travellers who need an uncomplicated way of calling abroad. 2p to fixed Thai lines, 6p to mobiles. A bit more expensive but easy to use and your actual number shows up on the receiving end instead of "unknown" or a Thai mobile number! Excelent calling quality as well.

sumrit Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Check this web site http://www.weq4u.co.uk/. If you dial '+443335432111' (from a mobile, land line and Skype) first, then the number you want you'll just use your 'free' minutes on a mobile and the standard charge from your land line and Skype (@ 1.3p per min). There's an app for people with a smart phone. You can then dial for free. You'll see it's really designed for use with UK '08....' numbers but I've been told it works with all numbers. It certainly does using Skype because I've used it from Thailand, but I can't check the app out myself, because I'm in Thailand, and it's not downloadable from here.

lor Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Free! I use my free minutes in the UK and the voipdiscount app. Credit this account with about 10 Euro and from then on it's Free for 120 days. After your free days have expired it's 0.17 pence per minute (nearly 2p). That's the same price for mobiles and landlines. Once the credit has gone (Takes me ages!) just put another 10 Euro on it and get another 120 days free. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abxthe Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Get a o2 international sim 3p per minute to phone thailand mobile, my mum phones me using that all the time, no lag good quality http://www.o2.co.uk/international/intsim[/quote Checked this out at 02 after I had been getting the calling card the girl thought it might work cheaper even she smirked considering they've got the International Sim ... Only 1pence but calling Thailand is the only thing I use O2 for and picking up the card from branch ain't such a hassle .

Jiu-Jitsu Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Which mobile network and tariff are you using from the UK? Bear in mind that GiffGaff SIMs offer free 0800 calls if you are currently using a tariff with no or few bundled minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiu-Jitsu Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 (edited) Personally, I use Localphone at 1.2p(1p + VAT) per minute to both landlines and mobile phones. They have a promo on until the end of this month. Top up with at least £5/US$5/5€ and the person who recommended you gets the same. So enter my email address; [email protected] in the who recommended you box if you do go for it. Basically they give you a local phone number from your current location that connects to the number that you want to call. So I just call using my bundled minutes from my mobile telephone. Alternatively, you can use free minutes from your landline or via 3g/WiFi using their Android/iPhone/iPad application. These are the countries from which you can can locally: Argentina Australia Austria Belgium Brazil Bulgaria Canada Chile Croatia Czech Republic Denmark Dominican Republic El Salvador Estonia Finland Germany Greece Hong Kong Hungary Ireland Israel Italy Japan Latvia Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Mexico Netherlands New Zealand Norway Panama Peru Poland Romania Singapore Slovakia Slovenia South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland Switzerland United Kingdom United States Edited June 22, 2013 by Jiu-Jitsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiu-Jitsu Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Otherwise you could use a GiffGaff SIM in combination with 18185.co.uk' 0800 number for a total of 1.5p per minute. Though there will be a 4p connection charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
