Don't do the change in your addressbook/contact list already now!
The calling numbers are still transmitted in the old format during the transition period until end of November, so your phone cannot recognise them if you have already changed them. I guess they change the calling number format on Nov 30. Any info on that out there?
Tricky thing is that some phones (e.g. my Siemens) not only compare incomming numbers with the addressbook/contact list but also with the accepted calls list where the old numbers have been resolved to a name before. So my phone still recognises the old numbers although they are not in my addressbook/contact list any more, but only if they have called me recently...
I change my addressbook/contact list back to the old numbers now and will do the change end of Nov. or whenever they change the transmitted number to the new format.

Report from The Nation dated Friday 1 September 2006 :-
New phone numbering system for Thai handphones takes effect from 1 Sept 2006
=============================================
Callers to mobile phones now should start dialling "08", followed by the existing eight-digit number, as the new national numbering plan takes effect today.
Fixed-line telephone numbers remain the same.
For example, mobile phone numbers that start with "01" should be switched to an "081" prefix. The number (01) 234 5678 becomes (081) 234 5678.
Callers from abroad will have to add "8" after Thailand's "66" country code. For example, +668-1234 5678 would replace +66-1234 5678.
However, callers have until November 30 to get used to the new cellular dialling scheme. From December 1, only the 10-digit mobile-phone numbers will be valid.
All mobile-phone operators are now offering a free service at shops nationwide to convert numbers stored in handsets to the 10-digit format, regardless of the customer's service operator.
They will also send teams to busy shopping areas, such at Victory Monument and Silom as well as the offices of their customers to offer the conversion service.
Users also have to reconfigure the code of the short message function in their devices, which they can do by themselves or at operators' shops, to enable them to send and receive short messages. But they have a grace period until March 30.
Sigve Brekke, CEO of Total Access Communication (DTAC), said he would join more than 300 of his employees in spending the day in the Silom, Sathorn and Victory Monument areas to help people update their numbers.
The numbering plan aims to increase the total of phone numbers to 300 million from the present 90 million, which is expected to be enough to serve surging demand for 30 years.
Cellular-service providers have spent a combined Bt400 million upgrading their systems to comply with the new numbering plan.
The National Telecommunications Commission spent Bt30 million to publicise its new policy.

I repeat: changing numbers in your phones contact list now is a bad idea!
As long as calling numbers will be transmitted in the old format when someone calls you, your mobile will not recognize the calling number in your contact list any more if you have already changed all numbers in your contact list!
I have no idea when they will transmit the calling number in the new format though. But a fair guess would be the end of November...

What does "reconfigure the code of the short message function in their devices" mean? What exactly do we have to do here?

I did a test on my Nokia, I stored a number, using the new number format. I tried both +668XXX-XXXX and 08XXX-XXXX. I called that phone with another phone and it was recognized. Without the phonebook entry was deleted, the caller ID shows the older format (perhaps during this transition period). Perhaps the recognition problem is with certain models.

BK, you stored a number 08xxxxxxxx in the contact list on your phone. Then you called from a phone with that number 08xxxxxxxx SIM and the number was recognized although shown as caller ID 0xxxxxxxx in the old format??? Did you call your phone with this other number recently?
As I mentioned in the first post I had the same effect. The explanation was that my phone (Siemens) uses the accepted calls list as some kind of cache and looks it up as well beside the contact list when looking up the number of an incoming call.
If the caller has not called or been called recently (= is not in any of the lists on my phone) how can the phone recognize the number? Nokia or Siemens or any mobile phone firmware/software doesn't know about Thai numbering mess up 
I *hope* it will never say 08xxxxxxxx equals 0xxxxxxxx 
Let's have some field test toady on the RT (I'll show up this time - hopefully) BK, You'll be there too?

Yurune, since I'm just excellent in punctuation, I would have put that like "Let's have some field test, Toady, today on the RT". But it's just my spelling which is miserable, so I spelled t-o-a-d-y instead of t-o-d-a-y...
