My boyfriend was recently given an old computer and wanted to get online for the first time. He lives in an isolated part of Ratchaburi, beyond the reach of Broadband, and didn't have a landline in his home.

Even getting the landline connected wasn't easy but he now has a telephone line. I always call him on his mobile but it would be useful to have a second method of contacting him so he gave me the landline number.

But whatever I try I always get someone else's phone. It's always a Thai number but never his.

According to all the instructions I've read I have to use the International code for Thailand (0066) and the local code for Ratchaburi (032) and then the six figure number. But it's never works, it seems to make no difference if I omit the "0" of the local code or not.

I've checked the number with him repeatedly.

Any ideas?
