Guest ear wig Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 Thailand's mobile phones goes 10-digit numbers now BANGKOK (thaivisa.com): Now December 1, 2006, Thailand's mobile operators will change all Thai mobile numbers from 9-digits to 10-digits numbers. 9-digit numbers will not work after midnight, the mobile operators AIS and DTAC told thaivisa.com today. If you still have 9-digits numbers in your phone book, you will be unable to call these stored numbers. All you have to do is to edit your own phone book to include the extra "8" digit for Thai mobile phones. If your old number was, for example: 01-5432109 your new number is now 081-5432109. You might want to add an "8" in your phone setting for "SMS Service Centre" as well Don't forget to inform your international phone friends and colleagues of the new situation. As in the example above, if your international phone number was +6615432109 - from tomorrow it is +66815432109 Fixed phone lines, 'land lines', are not affected by the change. The alteration of local mobile phones to the 10-digit system was to cope with the kingdom's expanding demand for mobile phone services in coming years, according to the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC).
