Having UK phone details, from Thailand?

I need to call some poeple in the UK, from a UK number, that indicates I'm in the UK and not in Thailand... and for them to be able to call me, on that UK number, and not realise I'm in Thailand...

Only once or twice.

How is done? Can it be done? Do any of these VOIP internet phone sevices/products make such an exchange possible? Is there a comp programme that do such?

Thanks.

Skype might be the answer.

Cheers. That's what I was thinking mate, but don't have experience with the internet phone services etc.

If I got a UK mobile sim/number, set up a skype account with it, do you know if I can call the uk from thailand and it just comes up as a uk number, and vice versa?

You need a Skype In number. You cant use just any number to set up an account with Skype.

I have never used the Skype local telephone service so don't know details.

Browse around on their site. May find details you want.

Unlimited calls to landlines – any time, day or night.

Think I got what I was looking for. You can buy a UK skype number to use in the uk for about £3 a month, and do all your calls from your lappie, or can make it international for about £8 a month.
