Hi Guys
I have always used a number in the UK to call Thailand that costs 7pence per minute to talk there are a lot of other numbers I have been given that vary from 4pence to 11pence. My question is are there any numbers that I can use in Thailand from Thailand to call the rest of the world Rolling Eyes

There's a huge price war going on between mobile phone companies at the moment, both internally and internationally.
For instance, I used the g/f's mobile to call the UK 2 weeks ago. DTAC phone. She bought a prepaid card from a 7-11 and it cost 8 Baht per minute to call the UK. 200 Baht card.
Instead of prefixing the UK with 001 44, you put 008 44 etc.
I've heard of others that are 6 Baht a minute.
Good value at the moment.
Not sure about land lines though.

Well my old landlord had said that there was a thai number that I could use does anyone else know of this. I know the cards are cheap but what better than poke it on your bill Sad

There is a card you can buy in 7-11, it's called PhoneNet, you call via a Bangkok number. Price to most European countries is 6 Baht.

Using Skype is offcourse even cheaper if you call a landline in USA, Europe, Australia or New Zealand, but then you need a steady internet connection...

Skype is 2cents a minute to usa uk if you have adsl (when it works, the adsl that is). maxnet is complete crap.

Skype is free if both users have headsets and the skype facility installed!

I think i mentioned it here before but skypes new no frills competition is voipbuster.com.
If you buy 5 euro credit you can ring landlines in uk, us and other developed world countries free. the credit is good for years just to make a paid phonecall to a mobile or whatever every 180 days. Cheaper rates to mobiles also.
Both good skype and voipbuster.
there is a slight delay about 700miliseconds so mention that to the person on other end so they know to finish their sentnce regardless.

Only for adsl users.
