The co-operation involves international roaming agreements instead of an overseas-rate platform. Customers of the AIS's One-2-Call, Mfone and Lao Telecom can buy Fung Khong Sim cards in their home countries. The operators will charge customers travelling in the three countries at six baht per minute. An SMS is also six baht.
