Calling Collect
Believe it or not, I cannot find any info about how to call the U.S. collect from my mobile. In the U.S. I'd just dial the operator (0) but I don't know the (English speaking) operator number here. Will I be charged the international rate on my mobile? Can I do this from a pay phone? Any help is appreciated.

Calling collect to the US... there is a different code depending on which foreign country you are in to get an English speaking operator. But why this method? Very expensive to the other party.
Dial 008 + area code + number. I think it's only 6 baht per minute, then have the party call you back using a calling card for better international rates. And no cost to you either. The TanMan

I assume you have a local pay as you go SIM card in your phone. Using 009-1-202-456-1111 will cost you like 6B a minute. Why bother calling anyone collect unless it’s your X wife.

Thanks for the info. I want to call my credit card company and thought I could save a few nickels by calling collect, since they accept those types of calls anyway. I tried to do it from a payphone but couldn't figure out how to get an operator and I tried to do a google search about calling collect but couldn't turn up anything. Something so easy to do back home but I was totally flummoxed on how to do it here. I guess my best option is to just call and pay the 6 baht a minute--tough for a cheap charlie like me
