TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the use of True Move SIM cards for phone service in America and explores alternatives for expats traveling from Thailand. Suggestions include using AIS for data roaming and switching to T-Mobile for longer stays, with one user maintaining a T-Mobile SIM for $3 a month.

I think AIS has data roaming sims (no phone calls). Then when you get situated get a T-Mobile sim
