Skype to be shutdown in May

This is from the leaflet of an "AIS Lucky Tourist SIM". I have no idea whether my AIS number belongs to this caterogy. Anyway, it seems people needing to call a German landline have little to worry about.  Calls to the US are 2.5/minutes for both landline and mobile. Calls to the UK (5/minute) are on the expensive side. P.S. I now realize AIS have made it impossible to find out online how much such a call will cost with the particular SIM I happen to own. I'm in for another queuing session at the overcrowded AIS shop.

Many companies will not send an OTP to a foreign number.

People should make sure their Thai phone account is set up to make and receive international calls and texts. 

 

This was an issue with my wife's phone and her Fidelity account. 

 

Before I retired, a few years ago. I used my AIS post-pay account and iPhone for all my banking and brokerage stuff without any difficulty.

If you call 1175 from your AIS phone, select English, you will connect with an English-speaking operator who will answer such questions. I've found them very helpful (as recently as last month)

They knew my name so presumably knew what SIM I have.

You can get much cheaper rates (up to 10x) than those using an app like Mytello which to take your examples charge 0.34THB/m to either Germany, UK or USA.
