wozza Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Has any one tried this card and if there are any other deals from oz I currently have a card which is 17.8 cents per minute to a thai mobile http://www.callthai.net/product/product_de...ct=040913044243 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donz Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Thats not a bad price but you can get 12-13 cents at mostly the asian supermarkets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mouse Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Many of those cards available from the Asian shops charge a connection fee. We use the 'Shout' telephone card. It costs about the same, 17.5 cents to mobiles in Thailand. I doubt that you can do much better than that unless you are prepared to pay a connection fee.

ronniem Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Have a look at this site , http://www.gotalk.com.au/GoTalk/phonecards.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlek Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Have a look at this site , http://www.gotalk.com.au/GoTalk/phonecards.aspx If you have a broadband connection and regularly call Thai mobiles, I would suggest to sign up for Stanaphone.com. It cost 7,1 US cents a min and they give you a real New York phone number. If you have a sipura 2000 phone adapter, the quality is excellent. I have also used their softphone, but the quality is not as good then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chang_paarp Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 (edited) THAILAND 66 0.0866 0.10 THAILAND MOBILE 66 1, 40-41, 47-51, 6, 70-72, 78-79, 9 0.0866 0.10 www.tpg.com.au ,virtual phonecard That is 8.6c per minute and 10c connection. similar rates available on voip I use their voip, the connection package is good too. I am just a customer. Just hope the setup is good because their call centre is in India. You have to make a lot of noise to speak to someone in Au, the Indians see it as a loss of face if they have to refer back to Au and will lie about availability of someone in Au.

Southern Style Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 We use a card called Panda. In sydney most asian shops will charge you $9 for a $10 card , $18 for a $20 card or $45 for a $50 card. With our $10 card we get anywhere from 130 minutes to 150 minutes talk time to a mobile phone in Nakhon Si Thammarat. I'm not sure why it varies so much but it is still pretty good value. $9 divided by 130 minutes = 7 cents minute. Plus each time you call you get charged the cost of a local call.

Youbloodybeauty Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 VOIP AUD 4c/min to Thai mobiles. https://www.pennytel.com/lowestrate.htm They also have a card with that rate if you don't want to use VOIP. You will just have to pay the local call cost on top of the 4c/min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mouse Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Youbloodybeauty, Good rates at 4 cents. We have recently changed from the Shout calling card to the Joy card. $0.059/min to Thailand mobiles, $0.034 to Thailand land lines. No connection fee, clear telephone line, 24/7 access, no timed calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youbloodybeauty Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) Hi MM, I've often seen great rates for phone cards and later find out that there are some hidden fees or the low rates only apply during certain hours. I think you have struck a good one there as there doesn't seem to be any nasties! Joy Phone Card That site gives a bit of a discount too. Cheers YBB Edit: Only thing I noticed is that Two minute increment charges apply whereas the PennyTel has one second increments.

Youbloodybeauty Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Tried to call penny tell but get an out of order tone and tried to send an email but it bounced back Is this company still in business? Wozza, We rang using their VOIP (ie: not pennycard) last Thursday and it was fine. Just one thing, when/if you register (I think it's $10 min) make sure you use an ISP email account, NOT a free Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail or whatever. It will make signing up quicker as PennyTel will want to contact you if you use a free email account. There is loads of talk here about using VOIP in Oz: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-threads.cfm?f=107 There have been some complaints about setting up/registering on PennyTel in the past but for the price it's probably worth the trouble. I think it's mainly using a free email account but don't know why that was a problem for PennyTel. BTW you can view all your call details on the site.
