Hi.

I wish to have a UK skype phone number, that people can call from either their UK mobile or landline, but I am based in Thailand.

If my laptop is on and is running skpye, and someone in the uk calls my uk number, will it connect to my phone in Thailand, via my skype account on my laptop?

Thanks greatly.

In theory, yes, the U.K. number should connect in Thailand to your laptop Skype.

Make sure in Thailand you have broadband speed internet access of about 400kbps or faster, otherwise the Skype Voice is not supported (does not work).

I used this speed test link when I was in Thailand last year to test my internet broadband speed in Khon Kaen and Loei areas.

I used my Skype in Thailand and I have a New Zealand Skype online phone number that worked good on a broadband connection.
