SIM cards - best for phoning overseas (Thailand mainly)

Post by Controller » Fri, 12 Oct 2007 1:52 am

Hi,

I'm trying to get a job in Singapore and will be coming down to have a few meetings in a couple of weeks but I will need a SIM for my phone.

What is the story with pre paid SIMs in Singapore ?

What about cheap calls from mobiles to Thailand (mainly mobiles) ?

Give me a heads up please of the latest breaks.

Thanks.

Pre-paid sim cards are not cheap, your better finding a cheap phone card, which you can use with your mobile! or use skype if your phone supports it, one number world wide. Even your own provider must have a cheaper solution than, don't you think.

I was in UK and tried the pre-paid sims, and what a rip off at 50pence a local call, in the end I used roaming with singtels 121 call back service, it was 59 cents per minute in the UK.

Skype is the best solution I think!
