Flashermac Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 BANGKOK — Thailand’s most popular messaging service is reportedly suffering widespread service disruptions, according to its users. Line, a smartphone app widely depended on for both personal and professional communication, is not functioning for many users in Thailand, according to a torrent of complaints Friday on the company’s official Facebook page for Thailand. “I can’t send any photos. And this happens just as I have to submit my work. Fuckkkkkkk,†wrote user Le Chevalier D'eon Exorciz at about 1:30pm. The Japanese-based company has yet to comment on the reports. Line is the most ubiquitous chatting application in Thailand, where it is used by numerous companies and workplaces for business communications. Even the Thai police force briefs reporters via its own Line chat room. Another user, No-ey Sineenart Oun-jaronetaksin, vented her frustration. "Right now the working system at my office can’t function at all," No-ey wrote. "All of this because I trust in your system. It’s causing great damages for us. There was no warning beforehand.†Yet another user threatened to stop using Line completely because of this latest failure. “It’s such a hell of a mess. Facebook Messenger is way more stable,†Heis Pond wrote. http://www.khaosoden...5211§ion=13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneSoup Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I like the way dependent users are screaming bloody murder over a FREE service - as if it is a government-funded public service that the public has an ENTITLEMENT to exploit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage_Kwai Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Goes to show how many people actually read the fine print. Only registered two months ago under pressure from the other half but have only used it a couple of times. LINE is very popular with the Thais. SG and MY users seem to prefer WhatsApp, which is on my phone. I still will not cave in and get Farcebook or Titter. Oh, and people actually get upset when I turn off my phone...

Flashermac Posted May 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 My wife's friends got her on it. I presume it must be simple to use, which is the attraction. I had to look it up to see what it was. p.s. Years ago, Baron Bonk asked me to get on Twitter so we could chat, since "everyone" seemed to be doing so. Then after a few weeks he said, "Why did I register with Twitter anyway?" I agreed with him and we both quit using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 The Thais seem big on group chats on LINE. Old bed warmer was on one with about 30 other Thais. Fucking phone would ding all night. Told her turn off notification sound before I flushed it down the hong nam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 MLG will go 24 hrs on Line and other group chat bullshit - solution? She now works for a living a la Kiwi style. None of this relaxing all day, at a desk in an air-conditioned Lao ministry with naps and chit chat, noooo, 8, 9 10 hrs of real work with minimal breaks as prescribed by law. She gets home, fires up the girly chat and suddenly it's lights out, sleeps until morning... Little bit of schadenfreude there on my part...
