Phone Problems

I've been trying to call my GF in Phuket for the last 14 hours to no avail. I'm calling her cell phone in Phuket town from my cell phone in Melbourne. Very strange. Perhaps it is Songkran tying up the lines?

Anyone else have the same problem?

Not a good idea to post a girls cell # on the forum

It has been known that the line is unobtainable for a short period. Just try again tomorrow. Maybe the phone has been lost/mislaid??

I think her phone is ok. I'm getting a message in an Aussie woman's voice telling me that "All lines are busy at the location I am calling" so I am unable to get a call through to Thailand from OZ. The strange thing is it has been happening for more than 14 hours...It is now 01:00 in LOS and all ines are still busy?!?!

Phones are working normally in Phuket and around Thailand, I just called the missus who is somewhere North of Bangkok with the family for Songkran. Must be an international issue or just her phone got a soaking.

Recently I had similar problem with SMS, my messages weren't getting through to my lady in BKK and in turn, I wasn't receiving her SMS. We both thought that there is either something wrong personally, or there is a technical glitch. After couple of days, suddenly I received backlog of about 10 SMS, all sent in the previous few days. So in short, some weird shite happens sometime.

Weird shite is right...I finally got through to her today. She says she was getting phone calls with nobody speaking and I couldn't get past the Australian phone system on my end...oh well it's good to know she is OK and her phone is working. I think it may have been related to Songkran and telecoms people perhaps not wanting to fix a problem and leaving it until today. I hear there are many Thais not working during Songkran.

Thanks for the input guys.

I have been trying to ring Chiang Mai yesterday and today and have the same problem. It rings her end but she cannot hear me when she answers, then I get message saying that all lines are engaged.
I tried with my mobile again today, did not get through, so tried to ring her mobile from my land line and got through straight away. Yesterday got the same message on the mobile as well as landline
SMS still worked ok all the time though.

Yes. The exact same thing happened to me. Now I know that there are others. I am not insane!
