Hi All

How expensive is it to call from the UK to the Philippines?
I understand that the internet connection is not great and therefore assume that costs are quite high?

Thanks in advance

Assuming you're in an area where the internet is fair, skype allows calls to UK numbers at a very reasonable rate.
Google hangouts does the same but skype allows a skype local UK number so people can call you back at local UK rates.

Your next question is, "How good is the internet in the area you wish to live?".

facebook message voice calls are pretty good, even better with 4G LTE
