Hello,

When someone from the US is trying to call me in Thailand. I get confused by the telephone number I should give them.

i know the country code is +66 but the confusion begins with the leading 0 digit in the traditional 3 digit area code.

For my number I have 9 digits with the first number being 0.

So, do I give the US caller 9 digits or drop the leading 0 and just provide 8 digits?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Just drop the first "0' dude....eg:  +66123456789

LOL. Yes, confusing!  They should dial the +66 like you know, then the rest of the number WITHOUT the "0".

 

So...

0123456789 becomes

+66123456789

 

011 (same same as +)

 

66 country code

 

telephone number, drop the leading zero 081 is 81, 02 is 2

 

 

01166nnNNNnnnn

 

 

Just drop the leading zero ... it works that way for a lot of countries. I remember being confused by this myself way back when. It's something you go through, like chicken pox or adolescence.
