Christophers200 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 The cheapest means of calling the UK is via Skype - Install the app and buy some credit. My last call lasted 13minutes and cost less than £0.25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveBKK Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Using the LINE app and LINE OUT for calls is a bit cheaper than Skype even. Quality better too IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KneeDeep Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 If you have a Smartphone, try; https://www.localphone.com Landlines All Landlines 0.4p Mobiles All Networks 1.5p Toll Free All Toll Free Numbers Free! You can use their App to call via WiFi/3G/4G at the above prices. So the cheapest of all. Even 1 baht is 2.5p, so it's six times less expensive than calling via a Truemove H Inter SIM via 00600... and completely free if calling a Freephone number.

Sorry, but you are just making it up. AIS 003 is not 1 baht per minute. Not ever. The rate is 5 baht for landlines and 7 baht for mobiles, plus VAT. Skype, at 1.7p per minute, is still four times the cost of Localphone. Plus Skype has a connection charge of 3.7p. So no competition to Localphone whatsoever.

Yours is a Tourist SIM, so qualifies for the 1 baht + VAT. Though Localphone is the cheapest, if the OP needs the cheapest. 0.5p inclusive of VAT against Truemove H's Tourist SIM tariff of 2.65p per minute inclusive.

WonnabeBiker Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Am using AIS and then Google Hangouts. For that, I bought $ 10 credit. Any issues and a quick and simpole refund of the unused portion can be had. $ 0.01 a minute to UK landlines... Am loving it. And I recommend AIS' Marathon prepaid SIM. I paid 600 THB for 6 months and use it as a hotspot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually 1.2p for UK customers, so still a fair bit more than Localphone(even though we are writing about relatively small amounts overall). https://www.google.com/voice/b/0/rates Calling to mobile rates are good. No toll-free calling.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
