Call a Thailand landline from the UK Cheaply
Call a Thailand landline from the UK Cheaply
Merry Christmas all,
I need to call the Bangkok bank Thailand from the uk to reset my pin as I entered the wrong pin too many times. I had a number a few years ago which was a prefix and made the call an internet call, this no longer works.
Can anyone help with a method of making this cheaply.
Thank you from here in not so sunny Scotland

It might be 3p per min but the 0843 means 55p per minute ++
Thanks

Use Skype. Costs peanuts. Or at least phoning the UK from Thailand does.

Re: Call a Thailand landline from the UK Cheaply
Thanks Big boy, you have helped me tremendously in the past and hopefully this will continue.
I looked at the site that you mentioned and they offer two different ways of paying and both involve premium rate numbers to access the cheap calls.
I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet.
I have a UK landline from Virgin and a mobile phone from Three and because of past experiences where unjustifiable charges were levied, I've requested that both of these receive no additional charges other than the agreed amount.
I had a charge 3 years ago of £18 and what I had done was switched my phone on in Dubai Airport to try to access the Airport Wi-Fi, the phone started to ping rapidly and roaming charges kicked in.
Thanks again for your help but I have Googled every option. My Hope was to find someone who's actually doing it reasonably.

I've been racking my brain to remember who I used when living in the UK, and it's just come to me - Telesavers. A little more expensive than when I used to use them, but the savings were very genuine.

Re: Call a Thailand landline from the UK Cheaply
It’s certainly a lot cheaper than using a conventional phone (mobile or landline), something like 5p a minute, so compare that with the “cheap” price offered by the services identified by BB.
Re: Call a Thailand landline from the UK Cheaply
Before I used a company called Planet Numbers at about 5p per min from land lines.
Not sure if its still operational but very good at the time.

https://www.telestunt.co.uk/#t - Currently quoting 1p a minute to a Thai landline.
I used Telestunt on a weekly basis from 2009-2013. The call quality was good enough, but occasionally you had to hang up and re-dial.
(I made a point of calling on weekdays around 0700 to avoid business users).

Thanks Chazz, I looked it up and now it's an 0844 number which attracts 50p per min + their cost
Happy new year

Re: Call a Thailand landline from the UK Cheaply
This outrageous call charge has been baffling me, because I never got charged it when in the UK. I looked it up, and sure enough, some companies are charging it, but not all. Maybe the question should have been, "Which UK service providers don't rip you off when making an International call."

Planet Numbers is still in operation. According to their site, for Thailand:
