Strange one thinking about it.. you shouldn’t need to use +44 as it’s a uk number being contacted from the uk. The international code was primarily for calling a number registered in another country. Edit…. Unless it’s a Thai bank trying to message you in which case they will need +44

A Thai bank will never send a message when receiving money from a foreign bank. To me it seems like an OTP or a code being sent to this guy from the sending bank.It's hard to tell without more info.

We're talking about a UK phone number and the guy is in Thailand. That option is normally used for a Thai number. (I get my notifications by email.) So,why would it be useful in this case?
