Thai the Easy Way > Sending SMS to Thailand
You
can now send SMS (text messages) to mobile phones in Thailand. We recommend
using the services of siamzone.com.
This is free for you but the receiver might have to pay a small fee.
All of the instructions are in Thai so we will give you some help here.
The above is only a
graphic from the web site. The actual form is further down this
page. |
1.
Choose the code for the mobile phone (01 06 07 or 09 ).
2. Type in the mobile phone number. You don't have
to type the country code here.
3. Your name in English only
4. Type your message here in English or Thai
5. This shows how many characters you have left
6. When you have finished, click the button to
the left. |
Please
note, some mobile phones might not be able to receive text in Thai.
After you have clicked on the "submit" button, the page will
refresh and you will get one of the following reports below:
1.
This is the number you used
2. This is your message and name
3. This is the report which says 'song dai'
meaning it was sent OK.
4. This one says you didn't type in enough numbers
for the telephone number. There should be seven numbers.
5. The first part, 'song mai dai' tells
you that the message couldn't be sent. In this case the code doesn't
match the number so maybe you used the wrong network.
6. This one is also 'song mai dai'.
This time there was a problem with the phone. They advise you
to wait one minute before trying again.
