FYI - Phone plans

I started with the 15 day unlimited tourist sim. When that ended, i was just going with pre-paid (Dtac). That really chews through the data and the $$ is very high. I have read various posts here and other groups that you need to pay 1 year in advance for monthly post paid plan, or sometimes without work permit they will deny you.

I went to Dtac at Tesco Chalong. No issues at all. To note, you cant convert from tourist sim to post paid until you have had it for 30 days, and i was at only 21 days(maybe only a Dtac rule, im not sure). So i didnt get to keep my original number, but i was able to get onto a new post paid plan, with a new number straight away, no problems.

All i needed was my passport and DTV visa printout (i also had copy of my 1 year lease, but they didnt need to see this). They did ask if we have work permit, but i said no, not able to work. They also asked if we had Thai bank account, but i said no, just Australian bank account.

Plan given on the spot, no pre-payment for 12mths or anything like that.

1199 baht per mth, unlimited fast data, 350 minutes calls to any network.

Would it be best to have a duel sim card phone or is the E sim card enough

With DTV Visa, Which sim card do you use.

This is only tangentially related to the DVT, but hey, at least I’m not asking about 90 day reports! 🙂

For those of you who are traveling around Thailand rather than staying put in one condominium, what are you doing about your address for your phone contract/bill?

When I previously worked in Thailand, I received a paper bill in the mail each month, which I think took to a 7-Eleven or ATM to scan and pay.

So I was curious how you go about getting a contract and paying your bill if you don’t have a fixed address In Thailand.

Thanks.

Hi all what's the best E sim for Aussie traveler will be there often for long periods

Good morning all.... I'm from the USA and headed over at the beginning of February and going to be there "permanently". I need some advice on cell phones. My phone has dual SIM cards, so I understand that for local Thailand number I just have to get a SIM card there... My question is for USA line.... My understanding is some of the time I will need this two step verification... I am assuming I can do this on the same phone since it has the two SIM cards?... Also what cell service are those of you from the USA using for this process?.... I really am not interested in having a "typical" cost plan from the United States in addition to my Thai plan....any suggestions?

Suggestions on best mobile plan in Thailand for approx 20 days 😊
