Dave8237 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Lyca.....and as previosly stated Lebra.......sim cards avail at all supermarkets in UK, top up in stores and shops. So no internet access is not an issue, for top up ect Link to comment
JamJar Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Lebara SIM 5p per minute to mobiles Lycamobile SIM 6p per minute to mobiles 18185.co.uk UK Landline or UK mobile to Thailand mobile 1.5p per minute. Link to comment
sumrit Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Giffgaff 6p per minute to mobiles in Thailand. 15p per minute to all UK numbers. You can also order a sim card, activate it and add credit while you're still in Thailand before you leave so you'll be able to make calls from the moment you land. https://www.giffgaff.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=giffgaff&utm_content={SI:pubAdID}&utm_campaign=ps-G_PC_Brand Pure Link to comment
fredob43 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 If you have a land line first dial 08448617575 Then listen. It'll tell you welcome to cheapest calls please dial your No: 0066 + No: omitting the 0 then hash. It'll put you through in a matter of seconds. I think it's still the same cost 1p a min: Same price for either a call to Mobile or land line here. Link to comment

It's not free to call a 0844 number in the UK. 12p per minute from a BT phone, plus the extra 1p. So 13p per minute. Link to comment

I have been using that No: for years, sometimes on the line for over an hour and its still only registers coppers, on my itemised bill. Link to comment

So perhaps all is not as it seems and it is a special number charged at 1p per minute via BT landlines. Certainly worth doing a test call if he has a BT line. Number came from Cheapest Calls: http://www.cheapcalling.co.uk/index2.php Edited August 17, 2017 by JamJar Link to comment
