anyone else find this no longer works from about 2 weeks ago, 008 still ok

009 worked fine for me yesterday

Didn't work in what way g?

The call didn't go through or you didn't get a cheap rate? I called my dad a few days ago using 009 (TT&T) and the call went through with no problems.

I am using an international calling card that costs 2 baht a minute to call the US. Landline calls to other countries are generally about the same although the rates to call mobile phones are higher and vary. (i.e. Japan and Australia rates are 6 baht a minute to mobile phones; 2 baht to land lines).

Its the ZayHi card and can be purchased at most Family Marts and Post offices. Good sound quality and have never had a problem with connections. Check out their website at http://www.zayhi.com .

You do have to add your local airtime charges if calling their access numbers from your mobile phone. An 009 call to the U.S. is 6 baht/min. so this calling card is cost-effective if your local calling plan offers rates of less than 4 baht/min.
