Post-Paid Mobile seems to be difficult for some on long term visas such as Retirement. I got mine with a Work Permit but kept it with retirement visa. My internet was paid a year upfront on retirement visa for home.

Post-Paid?

Chris ********

yes

I paid my 3BB yearly upfront and renewed it for the year too. Kept post-paid AIS for phone but I got that on a Wor Permit and to be honest could probably get a better deal.

I think from memory only restriction I ever had was 3bb fibre internet is yearly pay only which in turn is 8% discount so like to do that anyway

@Greg *******

no idea why? I’m just on exempt as I work offshore and I’ve got 2 fibre internet accounts (ais and 3bb) at different properties and my phone is post paid with ais but over the years I’ve had all the big 3 … no one has ever asked for more than a copy of photo page passport

You are the only one I have heard say that. Many I know on Retirement cannot get a post-paid account with AIS / True never mind on Visa Exempt or Tourist Visa.
