Phone numbers in Thailand. Useful phone numbers in Thailand

Everything you need to know about mobile communications in Thailand: how to buy a SIM card and top up your balance, how to connect mobile Internet, how to call to and from Thailand, as well as emergency numbers.

There are 3 major mobile operators in Thailand: TrueMove, DTAC (Happy) and AIS (1.2 call).

I used the first two, I didn’t notice any special differences between them either in price or in quality of communication.

And by the way, SIM cards initially fit 3 sizes - standard, micro or nano-sim, depending on how you break the package.

Where to buy a SIM card in Thailand?

There are several options. You can get a free SIM card right at the airport, you can contact the operator's office (in large shopping centers) or almost any 7/11 or Family Mart.

Package price - from 49 baht. With TrueMove, for this money you get a SIM card, 90 MB of traffic and 20 baht for calls. They also sell some tourist ones for 299 baht, but to be honest, I don’t know why they are better.

To buy a SIM card, you need a passport.

How to replenish the balance

Here you will also come to the aid of 7/11 and Family Mart. In principle, everything is simple there, except that sellers rarely immediately understand what you want from them.

Several times I had to arrange dances with the phone and show pantomimes in order to explain myself) The combination of words in English [operator name] - [amount] baht works flawlessly.

Even better - write on a piece of paper the name of the operator, the amount and phone number.

You will have to enter the phone number yourself at the terminal to enter the pin code.

There may be other scenarios: the seller issues a check or a payment card, where there will definitely be a combination of numbers - your payment code.

Then, to replenish the balance, you will need to send a ussd request.

True Move - *123*payment code#
DTAC (Happy) - *100*payment code#
AIS (1,2 call) - *120*payment code#

How to call to and from Thailand

You can call to Russia from Thailand through +7 (…) …-..-.. A call through 8 (…) …-..-.. will not work. The price of a call is on average about 15 baht per minute.

There is an option to call cheaper (around 4-5 baht). To do this, you need to use a special code (it depends on the operator):

True Move - 009
DTAC (Happy)-004
AIS (1.2 call) - 001

For example, to call Russia with TrueMove, try dialing 0097.. …-..-.. instead of +7 (…) …-..-..

To call Thailand, use the country code +66. In this case, 0 is removed from the phone number. For example, to call 095 514-85-16 from Russia, dial +6695 514-85-16.

How to call Russia cheaply from Thailand to tell family and friends that everything is fine? How to contact an insurance company from Thailand and, in general, which mobile operator to choose in order to always stay in touch without extra expenses?

To call from Thailand to Russia you can use:

How to call from Thailand to Russia cheap?

For international communications, IP-telephony is the best and cheapest.

Save or bookmark the main codes, as incorrect dialing will greatly affect the cost of the call.

The most expensive way to call Russia from Thailand is to dial the number with the prefix +7
In this case, the cost of the call will be 28-30 baht per minute (56-60 rubles).

It is also unprofitable to call through the lobby or the phone in the hotel room. Calls from the hotel will cost you between 20 and 50 baht per minute.

Cheap call codes from Thailand to Russia

The cheapest way to make a mobile phone call from Thailand to Russia is through a local SIM card.

Find out which mobile operator you have. Most often, tourists buy SIM cards - Dtac, True, Ais and 1.2-Call.

The telephone code of Russia is 7. That is, after 3 digits of ip-telephony, you still dial 7 + area code or mobile operator + subscriber number.
It looks like this: 00474951111111 (Where 495 is the code of Moscow).

Cheap call Russia via Dtac

Dial the code - 004(7) **** Cost - 4 baht per minute.

Cheap to call with True

Dial the code - 006(7)*** (7 baht per minute, high call quality)

If you dial from True move - 00600(7) - the call will cost 4 baht per minute, but the quality is worse.

Cheap call with Ais, One-Two-Call, True Move

Dial the code - 009 (7) - 6.5 baht per minute.

How to call from Thailand to a landline or mobile phone

Dial one of the codes that matches your mobile operator. For example, you have Dtac Happy.

If you are calling to Russia, to Moscow, to a landline number, you need to dial like this:

00474951111111 - Where “004” is the IP telephony code, “7” is the code of Russia, “495” is the code of Moscow, and then the subscriber's number.

If you want to call from Thailand to a cell phone in Russia, you need to dial:

004479031111111 - Where “004” is the IP telephony code of your cell phone in Thailand,
“7” is the code of Russia, “903” is the code of the telecom operator in Russia (Beeline), and then the subscriber number.

I will add that in addition to the listed ip-telephony codes, there are 2 more that are not tied to any mobile operator and you can call Russia through them from any mobile phone in Thailand.

These are the codes - 007 and 008. Perhaps you should remember the code 008, since a call through 007 is expensive.

Remember!

007 - The cost of a call to Russia is 24 baht per minute. It is expensive.
008 - The cost of a call to Russia is 7 baht per minute. Cheaper, but still more expensive than you can call.

How to call Thailand or send SMS from Russia to Thailand

If you need to call Thailand from Russia, or send an SMS message, you need to dial the Thailand code +66

For example: +669031111111 - Where +66 is the code of Thailand, 94 is the beeline operator code and then the number.

How to call a Thai number from Russia or Thailand?

If you need to call a Thai mobile, or add it for communication in viber, whatsapp, you need to dial +66

It is also worth knowing that “0” in the three-digit operator code is not entered!!!

That is. If you have a Dtac SIM card with the code “094”

The number in the phone is recorded for a call like this:

66941111111 - Where +66 is the code of Thailand, and 94 is the code of Ditek.

How to call from Thailand to Russia for free?

Not only to Russia from Thailand, but all over the world, you can call for free if you have internet at hand.

As a rule, every hotel has free internet, at least in the lobby.
If the phone or tablet does not automatically connect to the Internet, ask the reception for the Wi-Fi password.

If there is no Internet in your hotel or the connection is expensive, and you do not plan to buy a Thai SIM card, find free Internet nearby.

It is always in everyone - coffee houses, McDonald's, decent cafes and shopping centers.

If you need to always be in touch and do not want to spend a lot on negotiations, buy an Internet package for a Thai SIM card.
Usually travel options already include internet for 7 or 14 days.
If you are coming for a longer period, then it is better to read more carefully on this topic and connect the package that suits you.

The cost of a normal, frisky unlimited mobile Internet in Thailand is 300 baht. That is $10.
With this kind of internet, I can chat on WhatsApp and watch movies online for a whole month.

How to top up the balance of the Thai SIM card

This is very easy to do. In Thailand, there are convenience stores 7/11 and Family Mart at every turn.

Go to one of them and say the amount and your SIM operator.
For example: 100 baht, Ditek online.(Dtac Online)

The main thing is to say "online". Then the seller will let you enter your number and the money will be credited instantly.

If you forgot the word online, with a 100% probability, you will be given a card for the amount that you need to enter yourself, and since everything is in Thai, it may not be easy to do it the first time.

Where to buy a Thai SIM card?

The most favorable rate for a tourist in Thailand is Dtac Happy Tourist sim. Sometimes they are distributed right at the airport for free.
If not, then there are mobile operators at the exit of the terminal, so you can buy a Thai SIM card right at the airport.
If for some reason this was not possible, Thai SIM cards are sold on the 7/11 network and from mobile operators in shopping centers.

Now they stopped selling Thailand SIM cards without a passport, so a document is needed.

I recommend taking a package with the Internet and the DTAC-Happy operator right away.
It has high coverage throughout Thailand and the card does not need to be activated, it will start working as soon as you insert it into your phone or tablet.

The cost of a minute of conversation on a mobile phone in Thailand is 1 baht. SMS is also 1 baht.
Calls to Russia from 4 baht per minute, via the code 004(7)

Surprisingly, Thai SIM cards work even in neighboring countries without roaming. For example, I have Dtac fished on the banks of the Mekong in Laos and no additional fees were charged.

What is the best Thai sim card?

Three types of SIM cards are available for tourists: True Move, DTAC (Happy) and AIS (1.2-Call).

SIM card from Dtac Happy in my opinion is the most profitable way to be in touch. Calls, SMS, Internet at Dtac are cheaper than those of competitors (True move and one-to-call), and the coverage is wider.

There is no roaming in Thailand, so in any province the cost of a call or SMS will be the same as in the one where it is registered.

How to keep a Thai number?

If you want your Thai card to work all year, but you are not going to use it, then you need to replenish the balance by such an amount that it is not blocked.
In Thailand, just a couple of months are enough for the card to be deactivated and the number given to another subscriber.

Living in Thailand, sometimes you need to call relatives, friends and acquaintances. And sometimes relatives also call. How to call Thailand on a mobile phone?

Let's consider several options:

1. If you want to contact a mobile phone of one of the operators from Russia, which is now outside its territorial location within network roaming, then when dialing the number, use the “+7” number format with the addition of the subscriber number itself. This is a standard room and there is nothing to worry about. However, we note that constantly being in roaming in the Eastern Kingdom is neither convenient nor expensive. Therefore, Russian tourists often buy local (Thai) SIM cards and, from them, call their homeland.

Buying a SIM card from a Thai operator is not at all difficult. They are sold everywhere, from the entrance to the airport (where it is sometimes distributed free of charge to all arriving Russians) or by going to one of the many 7/11 minimarkets, in a family store.

In Thailand, the mobile operator DTac (Happy) is now quite popular among tourists from Russia. Note that in the Kingdom there is no roaming within the network and by purchasing a SIM card in Bangkok, you can use the same SIM card in other cities without spending additional money. The price remains the same, which is good news. Another weighty argument for purchasing a Thai SIM card is the ability to call Russia much cheaper than from a cell phone, which is now within roaming limits. The cost of 1 minute will not exceed 3-5 baht.

In order not to spend extra money of your own, start dialing the number you need from "009" or "004" without adding "+". For example, if you need to contact the subscriber number +7-ХХХ-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ dial: 004-7-ХХХ-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ or 009-7-ХХХ-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ.

2. This is another possible connection option. But how to call a person who has a Thai SIM card? The Thai number looks like this: 08-XXXX-XXXX. To find out the code by which you can be called from Russia, consider the box with the purchased SIM card. The number must be written there in its full format.

Note that the first digit "0" is replaced by "+66". Those. the phone number will be of this type: +66-8-ХХХХ-ХХХХ. If you will contact not from a cell phone, but from a home phone, then you should not dial "+66", but a five-digit code - "81066". Those. the number will look like this: 81066-8-XXXX-XXXX. The first digit "8" is long distance, "10" is international, and "66" is required for Thailand's dialing code. However, we note that from a landline phone to a Thai SIM card, a call will not be a cheap pleasure.

In order to somehow save your money:

Ask if your mobile operator has a surcharge for making calls to Thailand as cheap as possible;

If there is no cheap tariff, try to connect with relatives, friends, acquaintances via Skype. All you need in this case is that your opponent has this program, and, accordingly, the ability to access the Internet. The program also allows you to make calls to landlines or mobiles abroad, after topping up your balance;

Skype call

Another option is a call from a mobile phone with a certain pin code forwarding. How to do it? Call a number in Moscow at your standard rate and by means of forwarding (entering a PIN code + your subscriber's number) connect with the person you need. As a result - a lot of numbers, but the cost is 10 times less. In order to get a PIN code, you need to buy a card. For example, the UTUZ service offers to call Thailand through a pin code for 5 rubles. This is quite convenient if you often need to call back at work or find out the latest news from friends.

How to call Thailand on a cell phone you may need it when one of your friends flies to rest in this exotic Kingdom. So, how to call thailand on mobile phone?

If you are going to call a cell phone of a Russian operator who is in roaming, then you need to dial the phone number in the format +7, etc., i.e. standard. But for a person who uses a SIM card from a Russian operator in Thailand, it will not be profitable enough to use roaming. It will be much cheaper to buy a local Thai SIM card and call from it. Sometimes SIM cards are handed out for free at the airport to tourists who have flown in from Russia.

You can buy a Thai SIM card at any 7/11 store and Family Mart. In Thailand, the mobile operator DTac (Happy) is popular among Russian tourists. In Thailand, there is no intra-network roaming, so you can move around the entire country and call without restrictions. The cost of calls will be the same.

The most important argument for tourists is the ability to make cheap calls from Thailand to Russia. The price for 1 minute of conversation will be no more than 4-5 baht. To make the call cheaper, you need to dial the number through the code 009 or 004 and without the “+” sign. For example, to call from Thailand to the Russian number +7-926-123-45-67, you need to dial like this: 009-7-926-123-45-67, or like this: 004-7-926-123-45-67.

How to call Thailand on a cell phone?

And now about how to call from Russia to a Thai cell phone. In Thailand, all numbers look like this: 08-1234-5678. On the box of the kit with the SIM card, the phone number is indicated in this format. To call a Thai number from Russia, you need to replace the first digit "0" with +66. Therefore, in this case, you will need to dial +668-1234-5678.

If you are going to call Thailand not from a mobile phone, but from a landline phone, then you need to dial not +66, but 81066. The number 8 means long-distance communication, and 10 means international, and 66 is the dialing code of Thailand. With such a call from Russia, the communication will be quite expensive.
