TescoMobile Thailand Call Charge - Mistake?
I have a 12 month contract with TescoMobile - taken out in February.
My mother has been calling my brother on his mobile in Thailand.
TescoMobile are only charging me 21p per minute for these calls.
There have been 3 calls so far and all work out at 21ppm
Does this sound correct? - I thought they charged £1.49/minute.
Im now concerned whether I should contact TescoMobile or just accept this charge.
Is anyone else paying this "low" 21p per minute?
Paul
PS I have tried to set-up the phone with topupnow.co.uk for much cheaper calls but there seems to be a problem - either TescoMobile wont let me text the premium number or topupnow have an issue somewhere.

For customers joining prior to April Thailand Mobile (Zone 1) is 21p a minute so thats correct.
But 21p a min is expensive as prices go.:D
Its Only 1.5p a minute to Thailand Mobile via a geographical access number on http://www.18185.co.uk/mobilerates.php which you can call from your inclusive minutes.
Or 1.1p with http://www.localphone.com/call/thailand via a geo access number.0 -
I think you'll find this is the correct charge, I call my son in UAE, and the cost is the same. http://phone-shop.tesco.com/tesco-mobile/help-and-support/call-charges-international.aspx0

Thanks for replies.
We had been trying to get setup with topupnow but their system seems to be faulty.
Have now gone with 18185 and all seems to be working fine.
