001 ... is the most expensive direct-dial service. It works from al phones and should be the highest quality connection. We do not ercommend ever using this service as it is unnecessarily expensive.

I do not consider 9 baht a minute to be unnecessarily expensive for a good connection to the USA myself. My last bill using 001 for 4.7 minutes; total with tax was 45.26 baht.

But why pay 9 baht/min if you can get it for 6.49 ?

I've used 008 to Oz and chat with my Mum for nearly an hour. The connection is better than I get with many local calls.

I can pay 450 baht with 008 or 540 baht without. Up2Me

I received in the mail from TOT a flyer detailing the 007 and 008 facilities, along with differing call rates to virtually every country in the world using them.

I have to call Jamaica, right now using 007 and 008 I just get the international engaged tone every time I try. Has something changed here I have called JA before OK with 007/008.

Maybe the CAT 009 service will work???!!!

Calling the operator (by a Thai) only illicited the response 'maybe you should put a * in the nnumber!!!. No attempt by the operator to dial the number.
