  1. I believe Google Voice won't allow us to do so, as previously mentioned.
  2. The basic needs are a local telephone number in the USA for incoming calls. Also the ability to call back to the USA as if I was there, same for texts. No other features needed. I spent $39 yearly for a 12 month Skype number subscription, and $30.50 yearly for Skype subscription. So a total of $69.50 for a local USA phone number, and unlimited calling in North America. Is there anybody offering this exact setup?
  3. Based on the email I got, it sounded like they are just abandoning Skype, telling us to port to another service. But will Teams just be porting Skype services over to itself, or does Teams not have the same Skype features? Never used Teams before, so don't know what it offers.
  4. Been working for almost 9 years now, but I haven't turned on the voice call option, which would let them see the mobile number here in Thailand. I rarely use the service, just for texts from banks.
  5. I have Google Voice setup from before I left the US to live here years ago, I still use it for texts from banks (with a USA local number), it is actually more reliable than Skype. But I also have a yearly subscription with Skype and a Skype number in the USA for pretending I was in the US. Like I said, I can use the Google Voice for text, but have never tried porting the call portion, I think they may notice where I am located and shut off the service. Hopefully someone here makes the transition to something else out there and let's the rest of us know how they fared.
  6. I guess we need to stay away from any high profile areas in Bangkok for a little while, or anywhere the Chinese are known to frequent. "US, Japan issue security alerts after Thailand deports Uyghurs to China" https://world.thaipbs.or.th/detail/us-japan-issue-security-alerts-after-thailand-deports-uyghurs-to-china/56686
  7. I think based on what he just allowed to happen to the Uyghur detainees, and his well documented assault on those in the south, that his true colors show how he really feels about the Muslim population here in Thailand. They would have to be complete fools to believe a word that comes out of his mouth.
  8. Personally, I think terrorist should not be given any rights, they should've been executed upon being identified.
  9. So an at least 12 Billion Baht slush fund that will be used by corrupt government agencies? Nice!
  10. They really need tasers here in Thailand, the ultimate equalizer, and highly entertaining.
  11. Can someone explain this part? As in if the UN and Human Right Groups knew about this, why they couldn't give them free passage to another country that would take them? Or were the Thai's refusing to let them go to anywhere other than back to China?
  12. Most Thai's view their environment as a toilet, look at the waterways and empty lots full of trash. Wonderful "Culture"!
  13. That's exactly what they want, if only they could get away with it.
  14. You should really apply for a propaganda position in the Thai government, and to hide your "neutral" position, you could suggest they call it the "Ministry of Truth" 😜
  15. I'm talking about this following part, which is completely delusional unless you lived in some pretty bad area in the US. "Not much difference from the USA, and actually I feel safer when on my scooter in TH, than I did in the USA."
  16. I'm convinced you are delusional.
  17. I'm going with this as the most likely cause.
  18. Lord Buddha would be completely disgusted with what constitutes Thai Buddhism, this is the least of the offenses.
  19. Preaching to choir my friend, preaching to the choir 😉
  20. We have the same type of rules in the USA when it's snowing, as they need to clear the snow from the streets. Believe me, people figure it out quite quickly, or get towed.
  21. They really need to go the towing route, get the cars off the street immediately. Also, like in other countries, if the car isn't registered or insured, it doesn't get released until it is, along with any unpaid tickets associated with that vehicle owner.
  22. Yup, it was just a "misunderstanding".
  23. I've seen how Thai's treat each other, I lost respect for this "culture" long ago.
