Calling UK from Thailand

hollypoppy

Hi everyone

Does anyone have any ideas on the cheapest way to call the UK from Thailand, calling card, prepaid card etc. If so which one would be best and how much do they cost.
I am visiting there shortly and will take a mobile with me but it will be costly for me to receive calls.
Friends that will want to call me are on 02 with inclusive minutes, wondered also if they would be able to contact me in an inexpensive way from there mobiles.

Any advice welcome

HI if your phone is unlocked just buy a sim card in Thailand they are easy to obtain and dont cost a great deal also they have credit on them usually. if your phone is not unlocked get it unlocked in Thailand its very cheap dont go to the big name shops there are loads of guys arround in small stalls who do it very cheaply they will also fit a sim card and activate it for u find one where they speak good english, they are out there belive me i have done it every year for 10 years cost to ring uk about 7 pence a minute same for text no cost to receive but of course you will have a thai number so the uk sender pays more, have a great time in Thailand we just love the place back there in Jan for 2 months
