scorecard Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Use Line, just need Line installed (super easy) in mobiles and/or notebooks by both / all parties, my extended family use Line from Thailand to speak to friends In numerous countries, including: UK, Germany, Canada, Singapore, Australia and Colombia in Sth America. Works well, clear voices, totally free, all parties just need internet connection. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Called 009 44 20 7730 1234 from AIS mobile. Harrods London One ring then announcement that it is currently closed and opening hours. Crystal clear. Does not sound like a problem. The OP should give a bit more detail how the calls where done? From Thai (SIM) mobile, fixed line, using prefix? 14 hours ago, pop3 said: Then the message lines are busy try again later And you are certain that this is a problem with the phone connection? Are you calling the same number repeatedly and get this? Sounds like a typical customer hotline or government office Try again at 3 AM UK time.

pop3 Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 I'm trying with mobile phone with True and using the 009 prefix as I always have , I don't know what the other three people are trying to call with but there is four of us in different parts of Thailand with the problem , the two messages we get are . destination number unavailable and . the lines are busy . I am not doing anything different to what I have done for many years therefore I still think there is some problem with certain lines from Thailand to the UK .

dabhand Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Just called the UK, from a True mobile number, using the 006 prefix. Straight through, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJAS Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Had no problem in contacting the IPC in Newcastle-upon-Tyne last week (using the 00500 AIS prefix) to confirm the safe receipt of my witnessed State Pension Life Certificate - apart from being "serenaded" by IPC with Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" the first time.
