Don’t arrive at the border on your Donkey with your Nokia 8210

And your DTV shouting I’m here for the cooking and boxing 🥊

With a DTV you can only use a BLUE SIM card. If you have a red or a green one, and they see it at immigration you risk immediate derotation.

Don't buy a prepaid one off Lazada. I got shafted with a True SIM which is not 15 mbps as advertised.
