My mobile account is with GSM (#121*). This evening I called a mobile number in Indonesia: Bt.220 for ten minutes! I would use Skype, but twice the Skype connections were very poor.

Is there a better deal than GSM for long distance within Southeast Asia?

try 009 or 00500 by dailing 009-62-xxxxx or 00500-62-xxxxxx

Rate for 009 to mobile is 7 baht/min & to land line is 5 baht/min exclude 7% tax....

Rate for 00500 is 8 & 5 baht/min economy and standard timing (not sure what time is economy time)

THANKS VERY MUCH for your suggestions! I will give those numbers a try...
