silver sea Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I have booked a flight through expedia.co.uk I need to cancel my flight. I have checked expedia's web page instructions for cancelling flights, but it does not appear to be a flight that I can cancel online. They say that in such circumstances I should phone them (there is no email address). Their number is +44 20 3024 8211 Someone told me that if I put 009 in front of the above number, including the + sign, it will enable me to make a cheap call from Thailand to UK. I tried, but my mobile phone would not let me make the call; it simply ended the call straightaway. It is only a cheap phone rather than a smartphone. Does anyone know if there is a prefix number for cheap calls from Thailand to UK please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lungbing Posted March 3, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2017 I thought prefix 009 was for landline. I use 004 on my mobile so your number would be 004 44 20 30248211 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cliffspab Posted March 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2017 What about using Wifi and Skype or Google Hangouts/Voice? They cost peanuts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleon3 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I use 00932-followed by the number for Belgium. Never any problem . 9 baht per minute. AIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOUTHERNSTAR Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Not again the same topic. OP it depends on your service supplier. The best is to phone the help line of your service supplier and ask. Each service supplier have their own prefixes and sometimes run specials which TV members dont know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billp Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 For AIS, you can use 005 but the cheapest prefix is 00500. So 00500442030248211 007, 008 and 009 can be used by all phones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So: 00344 then the local number in the U.K. And this costs me ฿3 per minute.Are those you mention cheaper?Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msmoby Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Good question ! The best answer depends on your situation: If on a short stay of one month or less - get a local sim and use the codes each operator has for making international calls using VoIP - voice over IP - ( internet ) hence cheaper If you are staying longer and have property in the UK - change to TalkTalk - take their unlimited UK / landline call boost ( 7.50GBP / month ) and install their Talk2go app on your Apple / Android mobile, before you leave the UK - keeping your UK sim card in the mobile phone in Thailand Then when you have Wifi in Thailand start the TalkTalk app, do a test call - and you can call landline and UK mobile calls for up to 59 mins and 59 secs for FREE ... I use it on my travels all over the world and no need to use +44 - just dial the number as you would at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oishii Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Check your phone company on Internet. I use AIS and tells me 00500 then country code and area code then telephone number and I call international 10-20 call a week. I think 3-6 baht a minute. Never think about costs, always seems cheap and for many years use AIS cell/call/text/dataThey gave me the 003 number in the shop.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make premium grade international call via true 006 to fixed line or mobile number all over the world.Just dial 006 --> Country Code --> City Code --> Local Number (without the "0" before local number) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouse123 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Guys, This app let's you call free or message if the other person has the app regardless where in the world they are as long as you are in a wi fi area. I find it fantastic especially when a lot of UK phone lines use a premium rate number. Lines and reception are usually very good from Thailand. For cheap international calls to UK, it is 0.67 baht per minute to a landline or 2 baht to a mobile number. To the US it is 0.67 baht or 1.9 cents per minute regardless of mobile or landline. You can use viber from a computer or tablet or i pad or from Android phone or i phone. https://www.viber.com/en/#android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKC Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 It's really cheap to use Skype, Buy a few $ of credit and you can get 20 minutes for just a few cents. Its where you call to that matters, not where you call from. it's a lot cheaper to call UK from Thailand than it is to make a call in Thailand to a Thai number 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wump Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) You can call ANY number with Skype. Costs peanuts and the other person won't know you are using Skype, they just get a regular "call" from within their country. Edit: Not ANY number, just normal local numbers. No "premium" service numbers. Edited March 8, 2017 by wump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Good luck trying to get a refund from Expedia! Took me 7 months but got there in the end, that was the Thailand Expedia. You need to check the T&Cs of the ticket. I used Skype, and be ready to be put on hold interminably, and generally knocked back several times. You could also try the Webpage where there is a feedback / email option. They were ignoring my direct emails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven100 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 One would assume as a tourist you have sufficient funds to make an inexpensive call to the UK ... Just use the 005 and use AIS .... Sounds like you cannot cancel your flight anyway, so you may need to buy a new ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commogwinto Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 If you have a CAT office near you, buy a CAT phonecard (I think B200/B500), very cheap international calls. Can also get in 7-11's, but most of them say "no have" I think CAT to landline line in UK is about 2b/min Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
