I have used on-line credit card in the past to pay for my I -2 -Call time and there has been no issues. With a couple of days left before card expires it just wont work for me. I have the web site(it was provided by their customer service) but every time I try to get a one time code it says that this is not available and to try again later. There is a pop up stating that there had been some hacking and perhaps this is the issue and its suspended its on line payment system. I would appreciate if someone can try this for me and see what response they get.

 

With thanks.

I couldn't find a way on the internet to buy time for 1-2-call from The Bangkok Bank website, so I have always had to do it with telephone banking.

It takes forever and you have to pay attention as there are so many 'For this press 3' options.

I don't use the credit card though, I use my ATM card.

 

The banks will not open until Tuesday so perhaps a card near expiry is already blocked. :clueless

12 Call have a service where you can pay 30 baht a month to extend the expiry time of your SIM card. I have used it when I have been going to Philoippines for a couple of months. You dont get any call usage for the money, just an extension of time. 100 baht will only get you a short extension of time, I put 500 on mine a couple of days ago and got + 6 weeks.

You don't need to pay just ask somebody who have enough validity to send to your SIM... *140

 

Teelack, if you need I can send you a few weeks if it is help...

Arn't they just sending you more money to make calls, not giving you extra time before expiry? I thought that them sending money was no different to you going and putting extra baht onto the card yourself?

Only the first time you use them then after it is cheaper.

Not wishing to be perdantic but I just tried after seeing your message and it worked for me again.

There was no message spoken just a sms message to say the operation was completed.

I would try again

Still, the point he was making is that a 100b (approx 3.27 USD) topup costs over 180b (5.99 USD).

 

I tried it and got to the shopping cart display, but I wasn't about to go further.

Thanks. I have had a look at this and it seems reasonable. I will give it a bit of study. I have been fortunate enought for a couple of members (Thanks guys) offering to assist me. I am covered in the short term so thanks again guys.

I believe the extra ammount is for the first time you use the service, after you have bought once the price is less, I am in the UK and it is a service I use from here, for convenience, if I were in Thailand then I would not dream of using it, I put on 800 bt and it costs roughly £17 so its not to bad.

 

I was only trying to give some information on how it could be done.

I charge 200 baht for a100 baht tester on my site.

 

The more you top up the cheaper it gets.

 

Paypal make a big charge of 4.5% plus 35 baht per transaction. So on 100 baht that's about 40 baht in charges.

 

That will also be why the other guy charges $6 my site is all in baht and Paypal use the banks middle rates plus 2.5% on currency conversion.
