Get Skype installed at both ends and you can make free skype to Skype calls or very cheap calls back to the uk using your pc, or laptop or iPad.

I left uk for two years now, and so glad to have skype.

Thanks sugarbeach (what a cool name) we have Skype but sometimes connection is bad and it's hard to have a conversation. We use alot with the kids so can see grandparents and friends but sometimes I just want to use the old fashioned way. X

Hi KF..Yes, video Skype calls can be a bit patchy...but I've found the Skype voice calls to UK phones fine, provided I use the head phones with the microphone. Sorry, I don't know of any other cheap old fashioned way, I'm sure there are come out there.

Don't know if you have anything similar in Singapore, but here in Malaysia if you dial 132 from a Maxis phone before dialling the number it is really cheap.

Are you using Starhub 118? That's pretty cheap. Or you can go to 7/11 shops and get cheap calling cards to different countries.

I have been testing out the Skype phone calls too and have had clear conversations every time. I will be able to Skype call from my iPhone rather than just video call.

Have tried out the ChatTime thing a few times now and seems ok. Thanks for your help on this one.
