telaksslave Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 ive just gone to TOT pattaya klang 3 times in fact, i had a different answer each time, a house that i rent the previous tenant decided to not to have a line so it was canceled, but hes left now a prospective tenant wants the line reconnected, he needs the internet, TOT have told me that they cannot give me a line ie: "a number" as they have run out of numbers and they dont know when i can have 1, so i went to TT&T same answer " cannot" any ideas how to get round the system there usually is, when uv lined a few palms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotsira Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 The same thing happened to me when i asked for a number, remember that if its for internet connection the company that does eventually give you a number will be the one that provides you with your internet connection. So i would suggest you keep trying with TT&T as their internet seems to be better than TOT. Thats what i did, i kept going to their office until they finally said that they had a number available, it took about 6 weeks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meg_2003 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I had the same problem when I moved house. I went to TOT to try to get a number, and was told there were no numbers available. I then went to TT&T who told me the same. I went back to TOT and they put me on a waiting list. I waited a week or so and never heard anything, by this time I was about to move into my house so I tried at TT&T again and successfully got a line no problem. Two weeks later TOT called and said they had a line available.. A friend of mine moved into a house on the same soi as me. They went to TT&T and asked for a line. TT&T informed them that they don't have numbers on the soi I live in. My friend then told them that cannot be true as we had TT&T, and gave them our information, They soon changed their story and said that they had found an available number for them. Just keep trying.. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotsira Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I know, it is a crazy system, but my advice is don't bother with TOT, just keep on going to the TT&T office and ask them to put you on a waiting list, also give the girls that work in there a bit of charm that could work to your advantage in getting up the list a lot quicker!

torrenova Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I've got a number in Jomtien in View Talay which I keep just in case I should need one but as I don't think I will have a use for it I would be willing to transfer it if someone needs one.

I understand that the bill says TOT, but you have to understand that the number is issued by TT&T and you can pay both your TT&T internet and TOT line bill of 107 Baht at TT&T. All the lines are leased from TOT. Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetchariot Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 did i read somewhere that they are adding a digit to the phone number system? From what I gather it's not the lack of available numbers, but the lack of capacity in the local exchanges. When I switched to TT&T for internet they said there were no numbers available at my local exchange, but they could bring a line from a few soi's away at xx baht per metre. I agreed to this at an estimated cost of 3,000 bt, but when they came there was a line available after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 My personal experience last month. I wanted to rent a house in town, but I told the Thai lady that owned the house that I would only have it if a phone line with ADSL was installed first. We went to the local TOT office together with a translator, no problem, filled in all the forms, but they would have to come and see where the house was to make sure they could run a line to it, why I have no idea as the house next door had a telephone, and don't they have a network diagram of the town to show where all the cables run (sorry, stupid assumption) Three days later, get a call saying that they don't have any numbers available. Call them back to remind them that I already have a number they can use. Another three days later get a call saying that the house is too far from the road to run a cable. Call them back to tell them that the house next door has a telephone. Silence for the next few days, so I tell the landlady "sorry, cannot move" Next day, I get a call from a neighbour of landlady who speaks good English "Man from TOT is here, where do you want the telephone?" I drive to the house to find a man in a TOT van who tells me that he has bought a number for me from one of the Amphur employees and I owe him 5,500 Baht for the number and installation, if I wanted it to happen...... I considered telling him about the fact that I already had a number, but realised that it was too early in the morning for that painful an experience. Paid him (no receipt obviously) and an hour later I had a working ADSL line. P.S. I tried TT&T during the time, bloody pointless as all their contact numbers just put you through to the sales avoidance department. P.P.S. Advert, anyone reading this who needs a number in this area, I've got one, dead cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
