“Calling International from Thailand AIS: A Guide”
Thailand is a beautiful country that attracts tourists and expatriates from all over the world. In today’s interconnected world, staying in touch with friends, family, and business contacts across international borders is essential. For AIS subscribers in Thailand, making international calls is a straightforward process. This guide will walk you through the steps to call international numbers from your AIS mobile phone.
Before making an international call, it’s important to ensure that your AIS prepaid or postpaid plan supports international calling. You can check this by contacting AIS customer service or checking the details of your plan online.
Once you’ve confirmed that your plan allows for international calls, follow these steps to dial an international number:
1. Dial the International Access Code: To make an international call from Thailand, you first need to dial the international access code, which is “001” for AIS users.
2. Dial the Country Code: After dialing the international access code, you will need to input the country code of the country you are calling. Country codes are typically 1-3 digits long. For example, the country code for the United States is “1”, while for the United Kingdom, it is “44”.
3. Enter the Area or City Code: If the number you are calling requires an area or city code, make sure to enter it after the country code. For example, if you are calling a landline in London, UK, you would dial “44” for the country code and “20” for the area code.
4. Dial the Phone Number: After entering the international access code, country code, and possibly the area or city code, dial the specific phone number you wish to reach. Be sure to include the local phone number, including any additional digits required by the country’s phone system.
For example, if you are calling a mobile number in the United States, you would dial: 001 (international access code) + 1 (country code) + area code (if applicable) + phone number.
It’s essential to note that international calling rates may vary depending on the country you are calling. Before making an international call, it’s a good idea to check your AIS plan’s rates for international calls to avoid any unexpected charges.
For an even more economical option, AIS offers various international calling and roaming packages that cater to different needs. These packages often provide discounted rates for frequent international callers, as well as cost-effective data roaming options for travelers. It’s worth looking into these packages to find one that best suits your international calling needs.
By following these steps and being mindful of your AIS plan’s international calling rates, making international calls from Thailand with AIS is a straightforward process. Whether you’re reaching out to loved ones, business contacts, or anyone else across the globe, AIS ensures that staying connected internationally is convenient and accessible for its users.
