whats the best value way to call the uk on a mobile

[soioldkentroad]

Sorry from Thailand

[2008bangkok]

004 from dtac about 7 baht

[siampolee]

Hit the buttons and go U.K international dialing code is 44. No mysteries.

^^ He's after 'best value', smart arse! using the 'lines' is not the best value... one has to pop in and out of the internet by prefixing with either 004, 007 or 009 before dialing 44. Alternatively, if both ends have smartphones, use Skype.

I didnt expect a smart arse lol to answer on a straight forward question like that but we r in thailand lol, as it happens the reason i need 2 do this is bcos i called my bank via skype and i had to change my telephone banking number and it doesnt work when u tap the numbers in

You can use Skype on your smart phone and dial their landline, I think it's 1p a minute

They do but not sure if the cheapest maybe others on ais will be able to tell to tell you, true also have it tjey maybe the cheapest of the lot

True Move international SIM card and use the 00600 prefix:

Land lines: 1 Baht/min

Mobiles: 6 Baht/min

Note: May not be available any more

True Move SIM card and 006 prefix:

Land lines 3 Baht/min

Mobiles: 6 Baht/min

Have a look at this: http://www.ais.co.th/003/news-detail.aspx?language=en&news=4

I went into AIS a couple of weeks ago in BKK to ask for cheap int'l dialling codes , and this 003 code is the one they gave me.

as i remember a couple of years ago i used the 007 prefix on 12call to call mobiles in the uk at 7 baht a minute. ask in an AIS shop and compare with skype cost

[geezer2]

Whenever I use my mobile phone to call Germany, having AIS, I dial 008 and it's not more expensive than an inland call.

I also have had problems using the SKYPE keypad for international online banking transactions. Sometimes the numbers do not register correctly. I use a TRUE landline phone, access code 006 for the best quality which is what I want when banking.

[kinjay2014]

hello I was told by AIS call center the number would be 00344 for UK and then the area code & number works every time oh and 5 bahts per minute

[Anthony5]

Been looking for the same since some time now and the way to go is VOIP, that is if you have a data plan on your phone.

Till now the most economic I found is VOIPTIGER, which would cost you 0.017 Eurocent to a mobile in the UK, which is about 0,7 Baht.

[RichCor]

The amount you pay will depend on the International Call Carrier and their Delivery Type.

For instance, TOT's service:

007 TOT uses Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) technology

starting cost around 9฿/m

008 TOT uses Voice over IP (VoIP) technology

starting cost around 3฿/m

Some people use Calling Cards for even cheaper rates.

Others use special calling apps and/or services on their phones (Skype, Facetime, Viber, Hangouts, Facebook, Line, MagicJack, Nimbuzz, Tango, Yahoo, and others ... where 'free' calling relies on the other end using the same app, otherwise you need to arrange to pay a fee.)

[ToddinChonburi]

AIS has 1-2 call prepaid, Look into that.

That was actually my point of my post. I think Voiptiger at 7 satang a minute to any phone in the UK will be hard to beat.

Noticed that also have a SIP service at very cheap monthly rate which allow people in the UK to call you in Thailand at the price of a local call.

I also have Skype and had the same problem but could not receive secure texts on my Thai phone so I got a UK phone just to receive texts from my bank but if you go down that route make a note of the number as if you put no funds in for a year the number gets cancelled and you need the old number to get a new number registered with your bank

[chris2004]

You can buy international dialing cards. I use Zayhi from Family Mart. You buy credit 1-500 baht. Then dial using their number. Cost about 1 baht a minute.

Line is free and the quality last month was better than phoning somebody on line in Bkk
