connda Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 I need to make an international call to the United States. My carrier is True. To get a call out you need to use a code like 004 or 009 but I can remember which (its been awhile). You used the carrier's international code to go international plus the country code (US =1) plus the number. Does anyone know True's international code to call outbound?

Liverpool Lou Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) 001 is the normal international call code, or you can just dial + before the US number, it's automatic. Dtac and True offer lower cost codes (lower quality, allegedly, but I've never noticed), Dtac's is 004. Why not call True's English-speaking call centre and ask them or just look at their website where all the charges and codes are specified?

Popular Post Liverpool Lou Posted May 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 31, 2022 As it only took me 30 seconds to find out from their website, here's the answer for you... 006 (plus the number) B2.5 per minute, 00600 (plus the number) B1 per minute. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howlee101 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Instead of using your phone plan, try downloading Talkatone app. It gives you a US number (WiFi) and you can make calls to the US as long as you have WiFi. I used it regular to get text verification codes from banks and credit cards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edwardflory Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 If using a ANDROID mobile, "TextNow" apk will give you a outbound and inbound number ( plus other goodies ) in the US that will ring in Thiland as long as your data OR WiFi is connected. Cost $0.00 NOTE: YOU MUST USE several times a month or LOOSE the service. Call your US Family or friends several times a month. There IS a paid plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoguy21 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Add + before the number. System will recognise it is an International call. e.g. + 1 234 2345 6789 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other person does not need to have the same app...only a phone number. The app is nothing more than a means to get a US phone number to use over the internet. It's just the same as having a cell phone number in the US 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in a strong wifi area e.g. maybe your house has strong wifi, or maybe a big hi-end mall if its not and go sit a quiet spot and you can Messenger call or Facetime video with ease and it won't cost you anything. Only need, as others have said to dial + then the country code for the US, then the number. Edited May 31, 2022 by Tropposurfer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 For anyone interested, AIS uses 003 for enhanced call quality but you have to apply for it which takes a few minutes on a call to their help center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the OP downloading Talkatone (or similar app) to make calls...which was my original suggestion. With Talkatone (or similar app), the called party does not need to have the app at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, an international call facility is needed (!) but that comes automatically with normal TrueMoveH SIMs, it does not need to be "set up" with a normal SIM card.

Chivas Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Sometimes people just want to make a call using that old fashioned item called a phone to yet another phone They dont want apps, wifi, telewiz or Percy Sledge they just want a simple phone call As it happens True was always 1 Baht a minute calling major countries USA UK Europe pre pandemic and to call UK was 0060044 then area code for UK (dropping the zero in front) then the persons number It worked for at least 10 years pre pandemic.....1 baht plus vat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
