bigstevieT Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hi guys, I thought i might add to this ongoing thread, as bits and pieces here helped me to get my service up and running. This option is great if you live in thailand and want to take your partner overseas. She will be able to make cheap calls and recieve calls for free, sms she can get for free too if you setup international roaming, This is also fantastic if you need multiple numbers using thai sim cards. I ended going with the true nettalk package as mentioned earlier you get a free 06.... number. It was hard getting any info out of all the true shops but the rundown to get this going. 1) purchase a prepaid sim from 7eleven they are onsale now 1bht per sim 2) go into a true shop and ask to become a postpaid customer with your sim, and then signup with the nettalk standard package. (you will need your teeraks ID or your passport and workers id, i went with the first option) 3) When you get home go online to http://www.truenettalk.com/truenettalk/en/products/nettalk.html on the bottom of the page click the postpaid customer (its 50bht permonth for 6 months till 7/11) 4) Signin with the simcards mobile number and ur teeraks ID as password, It will ask you to fill a form its all in thai, but the lady can easily fill that out. 5)You will then get a sms with username (this is your 06.... phone number) and password. 6)You can now divert all your thai mobile numbers to this 06...number, and optionally if you wanted sms messages for free setup International Roaming when your in the True shop or any other sim provider you use. 7)You can pay online with a thai bank for your postpay bill and dont forget to pay 3bht per month for any additional sim cards so the service keeps running on them. This service can also work with sip ata phones that can easily be purchased and setup back home with a answering machine for all the weird hours phone calls.

genobkk Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 sounds very hard to do, so no way to get a VOIP number other then that? TOT or CAT? incoming calls seems to be hard to get in thailand all I have seen is VOIP for out bound only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Lots of detail in the threads I linked. Your options are: Cat2Call Plus, TOTnetcall and True Nettalk. With an Android, or other phone perhaps, you could run a SIP/VoIP client, and with WiFi access say traveling in another country you could originate calls to phones in Thailand, using True NetTalk for 1.50 baht/min, and people in Thailand could call you on 060 nnn-nnnn for whatever their local calling plan charges (~ 1.5 baht/min). I'd like to hear more about: - the call forwarding of say a One-2-Call number to 060; how is that set-up and what are the fees? - how are SMSes, again to a One-2-Call number handled, if at all? (bigStevieT) I assume you can't send an SMS to 060 nnn-nnnn. I may try the True NetTalk; 50 baht/month seems to good to pass up.

lomatopo Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) - the call forwarding of say a One-2-Call number to 060; how is that set-up and what are the fees? Well that was easy. On my Nokia/One-2-Call phone I chose Call Divert, entered another phone number (Android/True), called from my Home phone (True fixed line/DSL), call was forwarded (CPID was passed), easy peasy! I guess you pay for the forwarded call, so 1.5 baht/min in my case. Strange enough I can call now my netcall 060xxxxx number from my TT&T landline but when Intry it from mt DTAC mobile it tells me that the number is not in use yet. Any ideas or experiences? I'd like to hear more about this. An 060 number is unusual and all the switches might not recognize (not yet programmed) it. (I think you get an 060 number with TOT as well, maybe an 02 number with CAT?) Edited June 12, 2011 by lomatopo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomatopo Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Are these only available for people in Thailand? I am living in the USA and want to make a call to Thailand. I think some of the VoIP services are available on a pre-paid basis; in the threads I linked you can read about some people who've done this. Some of the other services are post-paid and those typically require a residency (Thai ID, or Work Permit for a foreigner). As you can tell from reading the links some people use these services to make it less expensive for them to call back to Thailand or for those in Thailand to call them. Could you describe your application and budget in a bit more detail? Example: I live in the U.S. I want to use (choose the appropriate end-points) my fixed line, mobile phone, SIP phone, PC to call a fixed line, mobile, SIP phone, PC in Thailand. I call the same number/,any different numbers, I want to spend less than N U.S. Cents per minute. Calling cards/Skype are 1.5 ~ 3.0 U.S. cents per minute assuming you have free access to toll-free numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordPoona Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Pennytel is absolutely horrible.. they offer a "free" did number.. then make you fill up credit..then tell you the DID number isnt free unless i live in AU..( dont state that anywhere ) Then refuse to refund...
