This my current pet peeve about the utter illogical actions by a Thai Company
Due to what I would call general incompetence by TOT the Telecommunications company in Thailand they have decided to stop all OLD landline phones and instead change to internet based phones with the same numbers. They however forgot that with no electricity the internet phones will not work as the home router will not work. But they blame Western Countries as they cannot upgrade their ancient equipment, even though in the WEST we can.
They have yet to deliver the said so-called New Technology although they are still charging me for a landline rental. go figure .
Any of you hade similar here in Thailand , I can still communicate with Mobile and Internet but bloody hell after 17 years just to cut me off, without so much as an if you please and a sorry

Nothing new, wifes landline was cut off almost a year ago. She had paid 50 baht a month to keep number until she could get internet phone connection from TOT. Guess what, TOT has no internet lines to our area so wife finally canceled the "service" completely. Next trip home she will see about using another company for internet/home phone.

Not when you have an 80+ year old mother who knows nothing about cell phones but wants to talk to sons at times.

Yes all is possible, however the PEACE of mind knowing that a self powered ( TOT powered ) landline was always there and could be used was helpful .newtovillagelife wrote: ↑November 11, 2020, 9:15 amWho still uses a landline, get with the program old man.....O and spend a little and you can add a data plan to your phone...then when power outages occur, it's not an issue.Khun Paul wrote: ↑November 11, 2020, 8:29 amThis my current pet peeve about the utter illogical actions by a Thai Company

Not a question of getting with the program old man, it is the outward LACK of any Customer Care that pisses me off and LACK of any co-ordinated approach.
Plus Phone bills paid monthly and as AIS and others will only offer idiotic schemes, which if you use too much of one thing , the rest is exorbitantly charged the TOT billing was fair all the time.
By the way all my family are pleased they still have landlines even though they do have all the other electronic devices, as a Landline is NOT continually interrupted by anything else.
