Hey all,

I've been having some trouble with receiving a call from Germany. I've given them a few different variations of my number to call and none have worked.

The last one I gave was 00 66 2 8 my number , I figured this one would be good, but it wasn't

They are calling from a land line to my mobile. Does anybody know the correct way for them to call me?

Regards

From Germany to Thailand?

Landline: +(or international access, usually 00) 66-2-xxx-xxxx, or whatever is the number is. 2 is bangkok, if up country it would be a 3 or 4.

mobile: +66-8-xxxx-xxxx

Yeah, I'm in Bangkok.

So your saying for a landline calling me from Germany, it would be 00 66 2 then the last 7 digits of my 8 digit number, so no 08 and no first digit of my number, is this correct?

your number here, for example........ 08 123-45678

you would dial from a cell +66 8 123-45678 not sure of the land line

to get the plus in case you arent aware you just keep the 0 pressed till it appears

Agree.

But the OP states he has an 8 digit number?????

Thought all mobile numbers were adjusted to 10 digit numbers a couple of years back?

From some countries you dial 001 for an international call.

You only use (2) if calling a Bangkok land line. It is not used for mobile numbers

Okay starting to get some conflicting info here.

I am in Bangkok getting a call from Germany.

I already know that 00 is the international number they need to dial followed by 66.

Landline to mobile

landline dials 00 66 then what, people don't seem to agree.

is there an 8? is there a 2? do they dial 8 digits or 7?

OK You got it Thailand 0066 Then miss off the 0 in front of your Number Thats It.

So It's 0066 then 456789432 or whatever your No is.

Is this landline to Mobile? I've already had them try this and it did not work.

What are they calling?

Your Mobile or A landline?

if mobile 0066 then your mobile number less the first zero

example your mobile is 08 12345678

then they dial 0066 8 12345678

If landline number 02 5501150

then they dial 0066 2 5501150

so easy and all the others above have explained it to

Also they might be using a cheap tariff such as 01081 from Germany with is 4 ct per min to Landline

and 7.5 cents to a mobile.

I was asking again precisely because everyone was not in agreement.

It certainly seems easy, but I've already had them try this and they were not able to get through to me.

They are calling from a landline

I am receiving the call on a mobile phone

so it is a landline in germany calling a mobile phone in bangkok

This is a company (click to pay) that is calling me, so I don't think the cheap tarrif number you mentioned applies.

Don't want to seem like I don't appreciate the help, I certainly do, but they already dialed 0066 then my number minus the 0, and it didn't work.

There's a website called timeandate that has this info. It said to type 0066 2 then the last 7 digits of my phone number. This is the same as what mdechgan said. I don't know if that was for landline to mobile, but I think that's what he meant .

Can anybody varify the 0066 2 last 7 digits of my number, is a viable way for a german landline to call a thai mobile?

@dudemister, I do have a 10 digit number, but all the numbers start with 08. I meant the 8 digit number unique to me.

All 02 numbers are landlines.

It does not matter if they are calling from a Landline or a mobile to a landline or mobile. the numbers are as we have informed you.

The 02 plus your number is okay

as per the example.

I have had no problems with German companies calling my Mobile in Bangkok either from Landline or from their mobile.

Can anybody varify the 0066 2 last 7 digits of my number, is a viable way for a german landline to call a thai mobile?

NO, NO, NO!!!!!

You dial +66 then your mobile that starts 08 without the 0 (ALL mobile numbers now start 08).

So if your mobile is 08 4640 7777

You dial +66 8 4640 7777

There is no need for the 2

Also if it is a company calling you, has the company set up International dialing, some companies do forget this. Some companies also stop international calls from offices, without first entering a code. You should check with the caller.

It seems you have confused us all, you have told them to dial the 2 for a landline and then the last 7 digits of your mobile, it can only be one or the other not both.

example to call your mobile 0066 8 12345678

to call your landline or for ease your home phone 0006 2 1111111.

Yeah I think this is the issue. I'm assuming you mean international dialing set up so that it auto imputs the 00. Yesterday I talked to one person working there and they dialed the number as you guys are telling me to, with 66 followed by my 10 digit number minus the 0. It didn't work. Today I talked to somebody else and I asked her to change my number, adding the 2. She mentioned the 00 at the beginning so I assumed that the guy yesterday must have been doing that as well. I assume now that yesterday the guy wasn't using the 00 and thus the problem.

Thanks everyone for your assistance, wasnt trying to confuse or annoy, sorry if I did.

1. Remove the first 0 in your number (landline, mobile, telegraph, can-to-can.. doesn't matter)

2. Add +66 in front of your number

3. Call
