I am traveling to Phuket in a few days. If I purchased a phone card there can I all Australia? I want to buy one because I hear they are cheap, would anyone know how much they are?
Here are your 2 options:
1. But an International Phone card at any 7-11. The only trick here is taht the phone card must work at the same phone booth. So look for a row of phone booths near your hotel – remember what logos are on (which phone companies they represent). Then buy the phone card that matches the booth. Ask the 7-11 person for international cards – they all have good rates.
2. Easier – if you have an AUstralian GSM phone, but a SIM card for 500 baht with a thai number. Put that SIM card into your Australian GSM phone and make international calls really cheap. when you are done making calls – switch the SIM card back to your Australian one. You can also make calls within thailand cheap with your thai SIM card. You can also buy recharge cards at any 7-11 (7-11 stores are everywhere)!
definitaly, there is no doubt.
of course yes,,,,,,,, why not if it is internationl value
yes! i think u must opt 2 buy coz If u purchase a phone card there u can call Australia. they would cost 2 $ only.
1) I liked fffrrreee’s second option; although I think you should be able to get a SIM cheaper than Baht500 (like Baht200-300), I think there are even some at Baht99. This link will give you some more info about getting a Thai SIM and using it to make international calls:
2) A lot of internet cafes have Skype software on their PCs so if you have a Skype account already then you can call at Skype’s rate. What is it, 3 cents a minute?
I find that Skype works much better on a high-speed internet line and I call Australia from Thailand on it quite a lot (as that’s where I went to uni).
