Just had a message saying my UK 3G phone will soon be 'switched off '. I need a UK number for banking, and don't want to fly back just to buy a new one. Anyone had a similar problem before? Wondering if I can buy one here and swap sim! Thanks

I’m looking for advice on maintaining communication with family and business back home. I have Verizon plan that I need to keep because my daughter and grandkids have phones on it. Definitely not using their international travel plan. Do you switch to a local plan in Thailand and can you keep your existing number? Can I make calls using WiFi with my iPhone if I have WiFi calls selected in settings without additional charges? It can’t be that simple can it? Any help appreciated.

How do you guys take SIM in Thailand? Is it straightforward, what documents they ask? Since I am planning to stay long-term (DTV) or at least visit time to time so visitor's SIM is not an option and I want to get a full local SIM. Where to get the SIM, at the airport or from city center for better rates? For the network, AIS is the best I guess?

Hi, not visa related but I will give it a go. So need to get a new UK sim but am in Thailand atm. Current sim will apparently not work after 3 months (told by EE day before i flew here). What I thought was to ask friends in UK to send Lyca mobile sim here but just googled and must activate in UK first. Any idea's what I can do. I only need sim for accessing some bank accounts. Thanks.
