one baht Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 9 minutes ago, Stevemercer said: I regularly cal Australia using FacebookMessenger, Facetime or other social media. If I can't get through, I might use my normal mobile provider for short calls (it is about 5 Baht per minute). For longer calls to government organisations etc I normally try to find their 'free' overseas line. However, it doesn't always work out 'free'. I'll give it a go mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacessit Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Calls to Australia with Thai service providers such as TrueMove are quite cheap, I rarely spend more than 100 baht making appointments etc. For calls to friends, there are plenty of choices with a WiFi connection or data plan. I only use WiFi. There is WhatsApp, LINE, MEET and ZOOM. MEET and Zoom are probably best in terms of video quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And both are quite easy to download, SMS, chat and video chat, can send photos etc., all at no charge. As I said - if the person or organisation you call does not have Line (or Viber) then you cannot call them free. Skype allows you to call anyone - mobile or landline - and it is dirt cheap. Viber has the option to call a non-viber number - but you must pay for it and Skype is cheaper and is a much better service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issues with Skype are that the person you rang cannot ring you back. You can rent a Skype 'geographical' landline number but not a mobile telephone number. To receive SMS you must have a USA Skype number and the text must have been sent from either a USA or Canadian number. OTP's are not supported.

Skype has as you said, options to receive calls, but limited SMS, and no OTP. But I dont use Skype for anyhting other than making or receiving calls or vids. I have a mobile phone SIM from Australia that I keep on an old second phone - I get all my OTPs from Australia using that (for free). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
