Uk dialing to thailand

Ok, this may seem like a dumb question but...........
I have a couple of phone numbers I`ve been trying to ring in Patong, and not been able to reach so............

What do I dial please, from the UK, before the Patong numbers I`ve got?

This is just to make sure that the numbers I`m dialing are dead (which I suspect), and It`s not just me fxxing up the dialing code.

Many thanks in advance.

oh, if this helps, the Patong numbers begin
a) 06952xxxxxxxxxxxxx
b) 07069xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Send a message via ICQ to Nicke
If you use your mobile phone, you can always use +66, thus

a) +666952xxxxxxxxxxxxx
b) +667069xxxxxxxxxxxxx

It works with all mobile phones regardless of your location.

The dialling code from UK is 0066 and you drop the first zero of the number. So if the number you want is 0796******, you would dial 0066 796****. Works for me.

I have a 2p per minute number if you want that as well, saved me a fortune.

Is the roaming activated by your operator? It's maybe the reason or, as said, you forgot the international prefix

Thank you for you help. It turns out I was neglecting to drop the first zero of the local number. Got through this morning and therefore fingers crossed am on the way to sorting out my accomodation.
