I Dialed 009 First

[Ling Kae]

Last year when I dialed 009 then country code then phone number I got my calls overseas for 8 baht a minute. I tried this 2 days ago to Sweden and I would have spoken for a minute or under 2 minutes for sure and I got charged 50 baht for the call. Has AIS pulled the rug from under us with the 009 cheap calls? Anyone know?

It is only a limited amount of countries being very cheap...

Sweden is normaly billed at 16 Baht/minute (+vat)

You'll probably called for 2.01 minutes resulting in being charged for 3 min. at 48 Baht (+7%vat)

On the other discount providers (007, 008) Sweden is not included for the very cheap rates either. You'll be cheaper but just a little bit compared to the 001 network

Thanks guys, good links. Sweden is just a dearer country than the others, at least I'm clear on the prices now.

And btw....it's 008 if you phone from a landline and 009 if you phone from a mobile

Look for the thread "Cheap International calls" for a much broader answer and wide ranging reply to your problem

I thought that CAT charged only for the first minute in full after that they charge in chunks of 6 seconds (one tenth of a minute). I can confirm from my last bill that this is still the case using 001.

Hitari phone net cards are good for overseas calls. A freephone access number and 6 baht per minute to 30 countries.

Sorry: Sweden still 16 baht per minute!

Check the rates: link below.

The link you posted ... these are the rates when using 009+countrycode+number from 1-2call, True, DTAC? Correct?

Same here. I dialled 007 from my landline to EU and got charged 22 b per min....auch

If you have a broadband connection you could look at services like Skype and Net2phone that allow you to call from your computer

to a land line overseas.

Both work from my mobile
