Calling a Toll Free 1800 Number in Thailand?

[biggles 509]

I am trying to cal the 1800 number of Tiger Airways in Bangkok from pattaya. Its the only contact phone number listed for Thailand. I dont expect to get connection on my mobile being toll free but I also tried a public phone without success. Got a recording, which of course I dont understand.

 

Do I have to find somewhere with a landline I can use?

 

Any Ideas. please?

If you have Skype... you can call it...

 

I do it all the time when I'm there...

Must agree with the previous poster. Just did same in Pattaya. Only other thing that is also needed to call 1-800 nos is you must have some credit on your Skype account, the 1-800 nos are still free but without the credit Skype will not let you call a non Skype no in the USA.

I am not having any success with skype although I do have credit. The number on the web site shows as 001-800-601-5637

 

I have entered the prefix 66 for thailand and then:-

 

I have tried dialing the full number as shown, also I have tried the 1800601xxxxx and also 800601xxx

 

I am obviously doing something wrong but cannot work out what it is?

biggles, can you give a link to the Tiger Airways page that has the phone number on it? Maybe something on that page will yield a clue.

Iam not at all surprised a 1800 number does not work.

 

Maybe try their 001 800 number as listed on their website, I just called it and it works fine. However as I called outside of their operational hours there was a recorded message telling me as such.

 

I called from my mobile phone.

I agree with Fondles

 

I knew there were some numbers in front of the 1-800 but couldn't remember what they were

I tried the 001 800 number shown in Fondle's post. It was blocked by my mobile carrier because I don't have my account set up for international dialing (I usually use VOIP apps).

Just saying...don't know why it wanted to go thru international routing.

the Fondles number is the one I am trying. I have tried my mobile, but didnt expect to get thru and I have tried a pay phone as well with no success. As I said earlier, I have tried several combinations of this number on skype without success. Dont know why its so hard to get thru to them.
