First, you have to enable the 00500 calling for your SIM:

• Enable international calling via 003, 005, and 00500 - *125*3#send

Optional: check the rate:

• Check “00500″ call rate to another country – *005*0*country code#send

Then, you can call by preceding the country code with 00500 prefix, e.g.

• 00500(country code)phone number

Not sure what the UK rate is; the US rate is 3 Baht per minute. 

 

Let us know if this worked for you. (I have postpaid AIS SIM, not sure if it works on prepaid.)

Maybe off topic but have you tried the MY TELLO app?

 

Cost me 9 Baht for a 19 minute phone call to HSBC.

(I have postpaid AIS SIM, not sure if it works on prepaid.) It Never Worked for me Infact I Dialled the Number 00344191**** Got Through to The DWP & Whilst I was waiting to " Speak " to a Human with 120 Baht in Pre-Paid credit the call just Cut Off, Saying I'd used ALL My Available Credit......

Sorry to hear that. 

 

If you have a way to see your itemized charges it would be interesting to know what happened. After I make an int'l call I always look at my itemized charges and so far I haven't had any issues. 

 

On postpaid, the 003 rate to the US is B2.5, compared to the 00500 service at B3. I used the 003 service exactly one time. The quality was atrocious.

I haven't tried it since the times BC (Before Covid, lol), but using 004 instead of 001 as the international access code gave a cheaper rate with AIS 1-2-Call. The downside was that the call quality was poorer. Someone told me it still works, so it may be worth a try?

That can only be to someone who is in your Whats App contacts. I doubt whether DWP, or Nationwide Bank are on it.

With Skype gone I use rakuten viber with fixed subscription Out that provides calling from mobile phone and pc.

I use Yolla or myteklo they are both so cheap and great for Landlines and mobile

Use 'Mytello'. Cheap as chips.

Yes, use Viber, it'll be much, much cheaper.

I am pretty sure I used '005' as a prefix, such as calling my cousin...005 001 area code and then the number.

Probably true.  I used Viber to call Capital One earlier this month.  I miss Skype. I think it was easier to use, but I'll get use to Viber. (Now if I could just get it to quit asking me after every call to invite my son or friends to the app).
