Hi there,

I need help trying to phone a thai mobile from my english mobile now I'm back in UK

the number i was given was 01-187****

Ive tried 00 66 01-187****
00 66 1-187****
00 66 187****
+66 01-187****
+66 1-187****
+66 187****

And had no luck.

Any advise ?

Suggest you try a land line first to check whether the number you have is picking up, it is easier that way to sort out the right country code via a telephone directory or directory enquiries and maybe even a little cheaper. Once you have established the number is correct and current, maybe contact your Mobile Service supplier for further help, if connection is still a problem.

the zero should definitely be dropped from the 01- if you're calling from abroad.

You don't actually say what error you get?

But...

Are you putting spaces between the numbers or with hyphens as you have written them above? If so that is your problem, you should dial 00661187****, or +661187****. Both these numbers are exactly the same as the + just represents international access which is usually but not always 00.

By the way you will often find it very expensive to call a Thai mobile from a UK mobile and some UK prepay mobiles don't allow you to call overseas numbers unless you have a minimum amount of call credit available and sometimes not at all.

Hope this helps.

Sorry to interrupt. I also have some problems calling to Thailand, from Singapore.

The number I have is 09-240-XXXX. (Mobile number)

I dialed, 021-66-9-240-XXXX. (021 is the IDD operator that I used in my country).
Alternatively, +66-9-240-XXXX

Everytime when I called, I always got to hear "Borigan... ton rab.... Welcome to the call back centre....", is the user not using his/her phone (switched off or no network coverage), or whether I dialed correctly?

Yes that means that the user either has no network coverage or has diverted all their calls. It *doesn't* mean that the telephone is switched off. If their telephone is turned off you hear "There is no response from this number" or something similar.

I always get the call back centre if ÍغÅÇÃó is indoors at her home as she then doesn't get a signal (it is pretty weak outside too). If when prompted you then press '1' the next time the telephone gets a signal the person is notified that you called and left your number.

This is very useful as I can miss getting a call to ÍغÅÇÃó depending if she has gone indoors or where in the garden she is, as soon as she is notified she makes my phone ring and I can call her again often only minutes later and saves me keep trying.

I had could not get throught untill i Call Operator and that is what they told m to do........................ Drop the 0 In the 01 That should work, good luck

[StivRichardOff]

My apologies for the typo error,

The numbers should read 00661187 0r +661187

Thank you David for pointing this out

[StivRichardOff]

You can dial either 0066187***** or +66187***** from the UK

[Dilangos]

I got contact with my friend finally. Well, she was just too busy to pick up her phone.

Hmm, you should only drop the leading 0 from the mobile number not 01 so the two suggestions you give both have a 1 missing from them.
