HI KENNY..... I am not an expert on anything I do not even have a mobile phone....smiles.. but try this one down load a program off the internet called CHIKKA ..... which does computer to mobile phone text free in Asia and they can text back to your computer I think they may have to pay to text back but if she has access to a computer all the better.... Which may save you money but I do think it depends on what net work they use Globe or what ever but check it out, being free it is worth a go.It worked from Uk computer mine to Cebu / mobile phone no problem......Also I have used the Mad For Minutes home phone cards either bought off the internet or asian corner shops....which worked out cheaper too... phil..

By the way, thanks for that tip. My g/f signs into yahoo on her phone and we can send each other messages that way, but i can only recieve and send messages from my computer as the Orange network does not support yahoo moble. But its still free even though i have to use the computer.

Hi Kenny. I bought my wife a phone on the 3 network which has free Skype and MSN, also Yahoo but im not sure. We pay £16 per month for it. Then she can sign into either and contact her friends and family all included.
Before she was here with me I also had my phone on 3 and it saved me a fortune being able to use skype and Yahoo.
Worth a try mate.

Thanks for the advice Quickwillow and Adam and Chryss.
My g/f, wife 2B Got the internet at her house last week which im paying for, so if anyone knows how to send regular money to Phil and could tell me a cheap or even a free way of sending i would be grateful. I did enquire at the bank for a direct debit but they tell me that for international there is a 20 pound charge which is more expensive than western union. Im thinking of opening an account with Abby national cus i read its free to withdraw cash abroad so i could send her the card in the post, has anyone used Paypal?
We have had many hours of free communication since last week with the webcam and mic, although the mic and sound dont always work but when they do it sounds better than a phone call conversation as we find our selfs repeating our words over on the phone sometimes.

we are planning to get the application ready at the end of this month, so its good we both have internet now. J ust waiting for April bank statement.
Im glad i found this Forum, i try to come on most days.

welcome kenny theres plenty of info for you to digest so i wont add to it but i have been trying to get my fiancee to the uk for getting on for 18 months
i have applied on 3 seperate occasions for her to visit here as a visitor FORGET THAT ROUTE as the british consol told my fiancee last time YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY unless she has assets job money ect she will not be coming here as a visitor your best bet is go to the philippines marry here then apply for her to come to live with her husband exactly what i am doing this summer so after 3 applications at £60+ each 3 times round trip from cdo to manila, on the plane and a few nights in the hotel i might as well have flushed that money down the loo

so the moral of the story is ITS NOT BLOODY EASY
