TOT advertise the number 1800 0 044 99 and claim that you get a UK operator who will then connect a reverse charge call. This is from their web site and was confirmed when I phoned TOT.

When I tried it I got a recorded BT operator asking for my account and PIN - not much use.

Has anyone managed to make a reverse charge call to the UK? If so, How?

I don't want to use the CAT service as they seem to charge - and it is not cheap. Seems to me to be 100 baht if you get through and more if the calling party is an answer machine/refuses the call/don't answer etc. And on top of that you are paying for the Thai leg of the call.

dial 008 44......

7 baht a minute to UK, can even use your mobile.

I use 008 when I want to phone the UK,

But this time the firm wants me to phone them (I don't want to talk to them) and offered to take a reverse charge call.

But I can't make it work.

As I said the phone home from TOT doesn't work and CAT reverse charge calls is not free, or even cheap. Seems to cost more that 008.
