TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion highlights different mobile networks available in Phuket, with AIS being the most frequently recommended option for its reliability. Other suggestions include Dtac which is noted for potentially cheaper prepaid plans, while True received mixed reviews, with one commenter describing it as 'utter trash.' There are also mentions of avoiding tourist SIMs at the airport unless necessary.

Dtac, AIS and try are all good in Phuket. Dtac probably have the cheapest and easiest prepaid plans for your needs. Avoid the "tourist" Sims at the airport if you dont plan to call home and just need local and data
