Mobile phone number

My friend sent me his phone number, as requested. It's 087 (same as mine). If I want to send a text do I put in 006687...; or what? Mine is an Irish phone number.

+66 NUMBER.

But leave the initial 0 off the number. If you're outside of Thailand, that 0 gets left off. Inside of Thailand, you need the 0.

Thanks Matt. Sorry to be a dummy - do I type 0066 or +66 and then his number, minus the 0?

I find using LINE the best way to speak to my beloved....and it's free and reliable There's a video connection too, if he has decent wi fi.

Thanks Oliver. I've connected with him on Facebook, and apparently he and his wife are "homeless" and staying with various friends. So I imagine his access to a computer is limited. Anyway, only a couple of days and all will be revealed.

00 or + for international calls. Joe, you are in Thailand now and are using your Irish number, on roaming?

There is a vicious circle of poverty. Because your friend is so poor, he cannot regularly check his messages and meet your for a paid encounter. You will instead meet someone else, who has the money to have a mobile phone and regular data access. The poor gets poorer, the rich gets richer.

OMG
It's a never ending cycle of boom bust;
"Boom when Falang him come bust when him go"
Don't be surprised if 'opening' new room, majam/deposit/1 month up front/1 month down/furniture etc will blow half your budget. Be firm...this is your holiday.

christian, I'm not in Thailand until Tuesday 9th - my birthday. I won't be using my phone over there, except to send a text to my brother to tell him I've arrived safely.
