I phoned my mate in Thailand last weekend on a landline and chatted for just over an hour, i haven't spoken to him for over a year, we usually text.

He can't get a landline where he lives so he has to go round his mother in laws.

Anyway just got the bill, it was £58 :o Can't see me doing that again!
I've been looking at Skype, the calls to Thailand landlines are 0.064p a minute or 0.065p to Thai mobiles, so i'm thinking of doing this.

The question was is anybody using one and how is it?

*edit*

ok i've looked around and found

http://www.telediscount.co.uk/cheap_calls/thailand.php

anyone used these? Thailand for 4p a minute with VM charge as well

The reason I dont use it anymore (I have no friends anymore :lol: ) is that everytime I used it my friends called me on the phone first asking me to start skype (really silly)...I did'nt want to have skype on all the time cause my prosssesor and ram are limited....
If I remember correctly skype also had some problems , like either me or the one i talked to suddenly fell out and I think i had to restart the pc to make it work again...but I think skype was new then and I was using windows 2000...

slasherman: you arse!

slasherman: you, you are an arse!
/friend hangs up/

:lol:

Isn't it cheaper for you to phone their landlines/mobiles with skype too though, even if they have no idea how to use it?

Phoning UK mobiles from the uk with skype is still 15 a minute, which is what i think VM charge me, and 10p at the weekend.So no real savings there.

I'm going to phone his thai mobile this weekend with that telediscount firm i posted above. We'll chat for 10 mins then i'll let the bill come in and see what it cost.

me: do you have any idea how many girls i have to satisfy, Stanley needs to rest.
girl: please let me come....
me: click (hang up)

Can you maybe use it to phone someone instead of spamming pointless replies to all the threads?
