STARGASA Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hi All, In the UK you can buy prepaid cards for cheap calls to aisa works out about 1 or 2 pence per min, cant seem to find the same sort of thing here in Thailand. We do use line and Whatsapp but our friends in the UK dont have this. Anyone come across anything ? All info appreciated. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) I use 003, followed by the country code/number, don't know what the cost or even who the operator is but from my mobile to a landline is peanuts.

evadgib Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 (edited) What's stopping them signing up? Skype is ok for calls but ideally you should aim at not being charged where possible. HTH Edited September 2, 2016 by evadgib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2702 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Sonetel for voip and call back calling formats. Call back feature uses a bridge system places two local calls one in uk or wherever and one in thailand or wherever and pay less than 1 a minute I believe ur max 2p a minute. Also you can have a localised number from any country. Systems pretty good. Other One I use is 00500 +44 type in number I use this on an AIS phone it's pretty cheap but nor the cheapest option but the easiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "00" thing varies by provider - True 006 (I think) and DTAC something else. My pal's having a hell of a job making Thook Dee work. It (apparently) isn't a card but a receipt from 7/11. It should be call back and then a baht a minute, but he's struggling. However, others seem to rate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 00600 is 1 baht per minute with True. Moving this to correct forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Those cards were fairly popular about ten years ago, many hotels frequented by foreign tourists would have a little sign at the front desk announcing them. My guess is that now skype et al have taken over that market. Skype-to-Skype calls via computer are free. You can call someone's telephone with Skype, but you will have to pay. Check out the prices on the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the prices on the website. Here is an actual cost example from my last call to HMRC in the UK from Thailand on Skype. The rate on all my calls has been the same whether to mobile or landline - £0.014 per minute. You should be aware though that apparently often there is an additional connection surcharge which shows up in the total cost of the call - an extra 5p or so.

Henryford Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 006 is very good but expensive, 5 baht to landlines and i think 7 to mobiles. I couldn't get 00600 to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
