If i use a msia phone number to ask for uber/grab will they come to me eventhough seeing a foreign phone number? And if they call me and I can't speak thai what happen and will they reluctant to call because of the charges calling a foreign number?

I've travelled quite a lot there over past 3 years, used uber and grab with my local MY number with no issues so far. Sometimes there are language issues, but out of more than 90 trips on grab/uber there, only 2 or 3 had issues.

was just informed that my company only allow me to roam on phone call not data, so I have to buy sim just for data, which one is the best in thailand?

I use local Malaysia number.

I prefer using GRAB more, as it have messaging features and 'Notes' to driver. I utilize both, to pinpoint pickup location and to describe myself so it is easier for driver recognize pessenger (me) so not necessarily for driver to call me.

Use simple english, eg ' 26 years old, male, fat, blue shirt with jeans, in front Big C'
