    so in other words there is no good way to talk with someone on there mobile over there just txt,as they get roaming charges whatever way i do it and i get the same if they called my mobile,

    They would not get roaming though if i use some of them numbers in call checker and call from my home phone to there mobile would they,and when it asks on that thailand or home phone i take this means uk or thailand phone does not matter

    Why don't you study the replies given? Texts are free to receive. If you call them, then yes they pay the roaming charges. If they call you, they pay the roaming-you pay nothing.
    It doesn't matter how you call them, from landline or mobile, if they are roaming then they will pay roaming charges.
    You can call them cheaper using the call checker advice, but that does not eliminate their roaming charges.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
