Hi friends

I have very disturbing problem.

I can not use My bank cards for online to buy ticets or something else.

Bank sending one time code to my Australian or Turkish phones.

But here I use an Thailand number and I can not reach my phones to get code.

I have sim cards of both phone numbers.

You guys having similar problem like me?

I really appreciated for your advice .

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is facing issues receiving one-time codes for online banking transactions while in Thailand, as the codes are sent to their Australian and Turkish phone numbers which they cannot access. Community members suggest various solutions, including ensuring the correct long-distance dialing format, switching SIM cards, using a dual SIM phone, or receiving codes through a trusted person. They also mention using alternative methods like mobile apps or calling the bank to update the number used for receiving codes.

you have to put your australian or turkish card inside your phone to receive the code.

In history when my bank was not developed enough I used a token that generates code, nowdays banks app receives codes as long as you are on line. If your issues are more ancient, think I use to leave my sim with my bro in same country, but this was like 20+ years ago 🤣🤣🤣

Just put your Turkish or Aus sim in your phone and make the purchase.

 idk what a tourist sim card is. You can use any number you like as far as I'm aware. Just make sure you include the +66 for Thailand and it works fine. I added mine the other day as got sick of swapping sims constantly

The long distance number of a Thai phone is different from the local number. Make sure your bank is dialing the long distance number. 06 (local) vs 66
