cheapest way to call internationally from AIS mobile

[persimmon]

Hi , I have an AIS PAYG SIM and wifi where I stay . What`s the best way to call abroad ( to a landline ) ? I have the Line app , but AFAIK this only works to call other Line users .

00500 is the AIS long distance prefix I use. 2.5 baht per minute. Don't use it often but its a good clear call everytime.

Skype App. Simply add $5 credit and calls are from 2.3 cents per minute to USA, CAN, UK and many other countries. Monthly plans available (limited/unlimited). Reliable option for me and I've been using it for over 10 years.

I have been using skype for decades now.  It got really clunky there for several years, but the lite version of their app now works pretty trouble free on my Android phone.  Rates are very cheap.

Sure the Skype app could be better designed, however I just called my elderly mother in the UK on it. We spoke for over an hour with no sound issues at all, no drop outs, no redialling. I'm in Kampot, Cambodia on hotel WiFi using a Samsung phone. For just £10.19 (US$12.22) per month on their unlimited world plan, that is exceptional IMO.

I am an AIS customer as well. I always use the 00500 service. Price per minute is between 2 and 5 THB, depending on which country you call. Quality is good, really seldom a bad connection.  You can check here how much it cost for each country

If you are trying to call the U.S., try the android app TextNow for free wifi calling.

What more is needed?

If you need to call numbers in Canada or the U.S.:

I use textPlus Android app. You register, and pick your own U.S. area code. They will give you a list of U.S. numbers to choose from. 

 

1. It usually costs about 30 baht for 50 minutes call to the U.S. 

2. I have to make sure and make at least one call a month to keep my phone number "alive". 

3. Quality is very good. Sometimes I can't call out, I then have to wait a minute or two then it works fine. I've never been disconnected from a call.
