It is possible to call Thailand for as little as 0.5p per minute from a UK land line using an access number or cheap calling card. The problem with doing this, you never get your Thai girlfriends phone number on your phone bill. So when you provide the embassy with your phone bills, there is no evidence to show that you talk on the phone
The answer
First find a company that allows you to make cheap calls via an access number. Then go login to your account with BT and change the access number to your Thai girlfriend’s full name
When you then print off your phone records, instead of your bill showing an access telephone number like 0844 200 25 25, it will show your Thai girlfriends name.
