What are the best ways to maintain a UK mobile number while relocating to Thailand?

@Wannikea ********

Are you an admin? No!

Did an admin approve my post yes!

Would an admin approve my post if they felt it wasn't relevant or offered value? No

Will my query be relevant to the majority of people who are using a DTV to stay for a long period of time? Probably!

This question is no different to the hundreds of people who ask about opening a bank account Thailand's. Do you tell all of them to ask somewhere else.

Now why don't you go and familiarise your self with rule no 1

@Kevin *******

oh I don't know maybe if I use my card and it gets locked, or if I lose any of my cards and need to speak to them.

The bank was one example of a company that may decide to call my registered U.K. number.

Just because your bank has never called you that doesn't mean someone else won't have or hasn't had a different experience.

Travel insurance and being able to call the emergency number or them call me ( been down that road before )

@Kevin *******

Who do you think you are talking to? You are rude and arrogant and that's putting it mildly.

I own my own company and conduct business regular and clients and companies need to contact me in the manner that is convenient for them. New flash most companies operate with a phone in an office.

As for the bank, first of all I use a credit card for all my spending, why because it gives me protection. Second I have no fees and the conversion is at the base rate. So what are you talking about me needing my head tested

You make a lot of assumptions about someone’s needs and circumstances when you know absolutely nothing about them. Here’s a reality check: not everyone lives the same life or has the same priorities as you. Just because you don’t do X, Y, or Z doesn’t mean someone else doesn’t have valid reasons for doing so

@Kaitlyn ********

thanks, I'll check them out too.

Do you happen to know if someone calls within the country the ported number is based gets a normal dial tone when calling or if they get a different tone which lets them know you are out of the country?

@Thomas ******

I downloaded the app and it seems to be £15 as you mentioned. However if you visit this link it's £9

@Thomas ******

cheers, really appreciate the reply. I'll give them a try.

@John *********

that's interesting, didn't know Vodafone allowed that. Thanks
