Dtac do an international calling number. 004. Reasonable rates, good call connection. Personally. If the person is on Facebook then I use Facebook messenger app or Skype works a treat and free/included if your on WiFi or have an unlimited data plan

internet calls not an option

internet calls not an option

In that case 004 is your option

Worth mentioning the rates:

5 Baht to fixed line

7 Baht to mobile

009 (CAT) has the same rates.

Dial

004 44 .... to UK (44).

004 44 20 ... London

Does this DTAC 004 service also work with a prepaid plan? In May 2013, DTAC gave me the link ​http://www.dtac.co.th/en/prepaid/services/004happy.html for prepaid, but this link no longer works.

Why don't you just try 004 -0 it'll only cost you 5-7 baht if it works and then you'll know either way for sure

Get on Wifi and use Skype Out. Better quality any day than even the 004 on DTAC, which in my experience calling Australian is next to near unusable.

Yes, I do it often!

Have you tried a 7 Eleven International Calling Card?

[thecyclist]

Yes, get the Tookdee interNational calling from any 7/11 , call to fixed line will be around 1 to 2 baht a minute

[chiang mai]

003 prefix works for me.

[KhunBENQ]

Yes, get the Tookdee interNational calling from any 7/11 , call to fixed line will be around 1 to 2 baht a minute

Surely worth a try for high volume calls.

[Commogwinto]

You could also try CAT Phonecard, available at CAT offices, can get top-up at 7-11/FMart, I think 200 and 500 baht, much the same as Tookdee prices I believe, first card is valid for one year, any not used/top up by then is forfeited.

If OP still needs to call, please come to Sisaket. You can use my phone.

Forget tookdee for now - it used to be good, but today it was 9.6b per minute to call uk (USA 1.08 b). They only charge a higher rate for Nigeria!

KB I apologise for changing the subject but do you know how I can get a list of costs/ charges. I don't use my samsung /dtac much but my top ups seem to be swallowed within 24 hours. They can produce a log and give a balance efficiently, can they not give a breakdown of where the money has gone??

 

Sorry for picking on you but you seem to know what is going on.

Do you have a smartphone which allows internet access/mobile data?

The most frequent reason for dwindling credit is the use of mobile data.

If this happens without a "data plan" it can cost like 1 Baht/min.

This can happen without you being aware/active by apps(software) on your phone.

Cure: switch off mobile data (some setting in your phone).
