(Pattaya Expats Club) The Thai Government have announced changes to the Mobile Phone

Numbering System. It is planned to add another digit - an 8. e.g. an existing

number (01 234 5678) will become (081 234 5678). This will apply to all

providers of Mobile services. If you plan a change to your business

cards, please be aware. The suggestion is for this to happen in 2006.

Remember this is only the first change..................

Land lines will also need an extra digit in due course. :o

Not so long ago, Singapore prefixed a 6 to all landline numbers. It worked easily, because for a period with or without worked; then later a message would say "you must down prefix with a 6", so it was easy.

But of course..... :D

Well, that's also how Thailand recently got their first change. Previously, if you called from landline to landline (within the same area), you only dialed 7 numbers. So, instead of 02 555 5599, you only dialed 555 5599. Same went for mobiles, but this limited the number of mobile numbers (there was only the 01 mobile group).

Now, you *have* to dial 0 and the number prefix all the time. This allows for more mobile numbers (09, etc), but it's a pain. During the transition, they also had a grace period, and the message system, so I think that when the 8 comes into use, it will be the same.

Its official now

September 1 is the date

mobile prefixes change by adding an 8 after the 0

so 01.2345678

would become 081.2345678

international +66.812345678

There will be an automated answer if you dial incorrectly in Thai and English and Finish

landlines are not going to be changed as yet
