Howdy , I need to call a place in thailand tonight, the number i have been given is ++66 (01) 8859490 Problem is unless the number is no good ( dearly hope not) I cant seem to get a connection even if i add some zeros before starting the mumber or missing some out ?? Please help me in my minutes of need

im sure its only one + or 2 00 so it would be:
+66018859490 or 0066018859490
hope this helps.

agreed!
google says:
http://www.milesfaster.co.uk/a-e-int-dial-codes.htm
and i`m fairly certain that when ringing greece we use 0030...... (the 00 is used to dial out of the uk the next two are for the country)
hope this helps!

Nope :( Getting very concerned i still cant get it to work, checked the number on the paperwork and web adress, Shortened story wife has flown out to thailand tonight approx 9 hours later than planned ( long story) But will not be met by anyone from the tour people :shock: Unless i can contact them before the original plane lands (shortly) or i 12 hours when wifey lands,
If it were both of us i would not be quite so concerned , but as she is now travelling alone im a tad more concerned, i shall try to get hold of the airline @ bancock??

Germany to the UK when I was there was 0044. So it seems to be a common idea.
-
have yuou tried e-mailing them?
bit of a last resort, but i understand your concern... swmbo is in the trafford centre with her friend at the mo... luckily shes only got a dawoo matiz, so cant gfit that much carp in!!
..and i do worry about her safety of course, lot of bad people around, but usually common sense, sticking to public zreas etcx is fine.
have you tried the airport? see if they have a number? or could transfer you?
-
id say email em or is there a Uk based number you could try calling them on?
what do you get when you ring the number?
-
try without the 0 from the (01) part as like when phoning the uk from outside you remove that 0, or try it without the (01) altogether as that might just be internal to Thailand.

I would say the number should be 006018859490
++ is not recognised as an International dialing prefix (+ or 00 should work equally well)
It is usual to remove leading zeros from numbers when calling internationally
HTH :)

Right I think you should be calling 006618859490 ............ you are supposed to miss out the first 0 from what I recall :?
edit:badgers beat me to it :lol:

Howdy, i have mailed the uk adress and the thai one aslo, alll i get when dialing any combinations is " this number is not recognised" tried callint the airport and rung straight away,But not answered yet, I shall keep on trying other avenues, please keep any tips coming though, Yea i guess im worrying but i think it pays to worry a tad in this world,

Can you get onto the tour operators website (if they have one) and recheck the number?
Also if the flight was paid on credit card the credit card company may be able to help you.
I hope it works out

Sign up for skype then sign up to "skype out" this will mean you can dial to them at local rate over your PC as long a you have a microphone and speakers or a headset that is.

I shall be in touch with the uk office pronto in the morning to insist they update there info, God forbid it but what would i feel like if it were a real emergency
Once again many thanks
