You might think Truemove H 00600 would be better than 'VOIP', but that would not be possible, since it IS VoIP. 🙂 The mobile networks are trying to make it more difficult for tourists to buy basic 50 baht SIM and try to push you to buy a useless bundle. So you would have already spent the equivalent of US$10 just to obtain a Tourist SIM. Plus your calls might appear to come from a random number.

thesetat, I think what you mention has been covered by this statement.

WebCall Direct seems to be an old version of MobileVOIP.

Truemove H Tourist SIM have a 90 day validity limit, as compared to normal SIM that can have 365 days in advance. So you need to remember to extend more frequently. If you are willing to pay 1 baht per minute, then why bother with the drama of worrying about using a service such as Localphone? Yes, it's one sixth of the Truemove H price and there is no need to subscribe, even though you can subscribe for as little as US$1 per month. It's hard to understand why some agonise over such seemingly trivial decisions. It's definitely more hassle and more expensive to obtain and maintain the Truemove H Tourist SIM. My advice....Sign up with Localphone using a PC browser and your U.S. SIM. Your U.S. number can appear as your Caller ID when making a call or sending SMS. Then install the application on your phone and sign in.

That may be the case, but I don't think that precludes you from creating an account in order to check as to whether your records are up to date. By the sounds of it, you've already checked online. So what happened? Did you just calculate the total payment by yourself or were options presented to you? Just wondering how you came to the amount that you chose to send.

You've left a bit of your story. How you arrived at the amount that you decided to pay. I guess that was the to-ing and fro-ing. Online, you are presented with differing options of the cheapest and most beneficial years that will improve your forecasted pension. The process of deciding how much you should pay will have included the information of which years pertain to the total amount to be paid. Since you asked about which years, it appears to me that you want to cover some previous years. Create an online account if you like. https://www.gov.uk/check-national-insurance-record Then you will see if the payments have been allocated.

Gosh.... the meagres have gotten really wound up by a factual report. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/13/metro/dhs-immigration-deportation-parole-termination/

I was wrong. They do realise... but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I guess we should keep that in mind for the next time they come on here asking for help.

Perhaps CallumWK doesn't understand they are being 'obnoxious'. When they are told that is the exchange rate utilised is shown on the VISA/Mastercard website, but decide to be grossly disrespectful by arguing that is not the case, with no evidence whatsoever.

https://www.localphone.com/call/united_states is at least half the cost of https://www.mytello.com/en_TH/rates/cheap-calls-to-the-united-states Mytello is 0.3 baht/US$0.01 per minute. Localphone varies. From as little as 0.067 baht/US$0.002. In other words, with Localphone you can call for up to five minutes for 1 cent or 15 minutes for 1 baht. But roughly speaking, it's half the price of Mytello.

Why do the same people always comment about GoFundMe? I have an idea why. Envy, that they know that no one would raise money on their behalf nor donate to their cause. 247 people donated over £13k. So obviously someone who had friends and people who cared about him and his family, unlike the miserable and mean spirited commenters.

You aren't paying attention. What they state is absolutely normal and the rate that you will get is the one indicated via the converter supplied. Don't continue to make more of it.

🙂 Don't concern yourself with being doubly charged. Refer to https://www.mastercard.com/global/en/personal/get-support/convert-currency.html & https://www.visa.co.th/en_TH/support/consumer/travel-support/exchange-rate-calculator.html for reference, by putting 2.5% in the relevant box and the currencies involved.

Jerzy of course is joking...they just forgot to tell you so. Cannabis resin is not an extract. That's akin to suggesting 'shake' is an extract.
