Best Overseas mobile call and internet package available?

Hello all,

I am looking for the best mobile phone package (contract or PAYG) to call my girlfriend who is currently working in Thailand. I would also like an internet allowance so I can use 'Whatsapp' messenger.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Clm

    Am not sure about the best, but with chitter-chatter you can get 350 minutes for 1x£10 or 600 for 12x£10. Unltd/500Mb internet booster is free.
    Then see International CallChecker and use inclusive minutes to call Thailand for extra 0.5p/min via landline access numbers.
    You can take a free unlimited landline calls booster instead of unlimited internet. In this case 1x£6 tariff is better.

    Alt - a giffgaff sim with 250 minutes and unltd internet for 1x£10.
