only now catching up but I see no one has answer your question so will post here. You can get calling card to Thailand. But what might be better is one of the following. Goto http://www.voipdiscount.com/ where if you put about 11euros every 3 months you can make calls to Thailand for 300 minutes a week and than pay I think it is .1 cent a minute afterwards. If you don't want to use a computer you can buy a ATA device like linksys 200 with your broadband router and a normal telephone to make the calls. Or you can use the webcall feature on the site (when you log in) to make the calls to the two landlines (one to your landline and one to thailand landline/mobile) and than it link it both. Cost 3eurocent per call to do it this way. The other way is if you get an O2 leisure tariff (assuming you want to call offpeak and alot) you can call thailand for free... You goto one of the sites which have O2 leisure tariff with 100% cashback. You take up that contract deal and when you want to call thailand during say the weekend you call 0844 570 6308 a just dial number just one example but there are many more. can check the call checker on moneysavingexpert to get more numbers. What you do is dial that access number from your mobile and it will say "welcome blah blah," you than type the number to thailand 0066........." but do not press send at the end. It will than make that call to Thailand through the access number which comes out of your inclusive minutes. Lastly you can get an easymobile simcard which are currently offering £30 call credit roughly, and if you put my mobile number in refer friend you get other £5 and so do I. But the advantage is you can use those credit to either call thailand directly. Or you can use to call a simply-fone number which are class as a mobile number with easy mobile. So other advantage is when they have other special day like last week where calls all day are free, you can call for free. Otherwise it will cost 15p a minute.

Anyway I hope all those help you but if you want a phonecard I think Post Office phone card will be a good choice and also I think banana is as well.

He does use a land line, hes on the phone for at least 2 hours a night calling his girlfriend. I'm quite happy with 2p a min seeing as before we found this i had a £400 phone bill, i nearly died. :eek: my phone bill a quarter now is never more than £20.:T
