With Skype VoIP calls you can consume a lot of bandwidth, using up your 3G allowance quickly, so maybe best to use WiFi for Skype calls, or even just one of the low-cost long distance prefixes like 009.
Many thanks for the update

With my other 1-2Call, as long as I topped off before leaving the Kingdom with B250, the number remained valid for one year. And I remember being able to top off remotely by dialing some code.

Mrs. will be in metro Bkk the entire time and will have occasional access for skype and facetime.

Anyway, her visit isn't until mid July so let's see how the new changes shakeout.
