Thai Sim cards

[winn]

Hi all, Does anyone know which is the cheapest Sim card to use while in Thailand to ring back to the UK?

[pogo]

if you put 009 before the number your dialling, for example 009 44(country code) 1483(area code) 587429, it costs 7 baht a minute, on any network, iirc

That really works? For some reason I thought that was an urban myth.

I use DTAC SIM and use 004 to call OS

 

Many use skype to make calls

go and get an IP card in C.A.T. up from tukcom. you can buy something like two hours airtime for about 300 baht. follow their instructions. the gentleman there will set it up for you ! as far as i know they are closed early on saturday and all day on sunday.

 

this is no urban myth ! :SoWhat1:

 

i think you dial 1544 then 009 then country code etc etc. :Think1:

and than go to a shop and get a TOOK DEE http://www.thookdee.com/index.php?lang=en&pid=0 calling card

So I have a quad phone and I am assuming my hotel will be able to steer me to where to get a local sim card on beach road. What is the one I want to call local and the USA?

Yes, I can assure you it does work, me and mates have used it to call England from Pattaya, Bangkok, Krabi, and Koh Samet many times.

True Intersim is 1 Baht a minute back to the States and all European Countries to LANDLINES but not mobiles using their prefix.........

 

As mentioned Calling Cards will get you around 1 Baht a minute back to Mobiles......
