About to go to Thailand soon on my DTV and will work a bit while there. My question is to those already in LOS with DTV. I will be spending around 4 hours a week or more on phone calls to and from Australia with work and I was wondering what do people do in this situation to reduce their phone bill? As I definitely need to make these phone calls and also need some data, the only option I know of so far to do this is using international roaming on my Aus provider, but it will cost me $5 per day, albeit tax deductible. I know I can get a Thai sim card, but I believe they wont cover me for my international phone calls and will only include data. Any suggestions in how to avoid $5 per day international roaming so I can make the required international phone calls? TIA.

PS. No keyboard warrior forward flanker replies please. If you must have a go at me, do it because I barrack for the Essendon Bombers.

My phone CAN NOT take a sim card. Whats the main local carriers that work all over Thailand?

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

Proud DTV holder here! Just arrived! What cell phone plan do you all recommend? I’ll be here at least six months. Looks like AIS requires a work permit but DTAC/True are cool without? Tips?

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

I will arrive in BKK on November 22nd. Normally I buy a 30 day SIM card from AIS at the airport. This; Because I never stayed longer than 30 days in a row. I then reactivated the card when I return after a month or a few weeks in another country. This time I come with a 6 month visa. So I can (and will) stay 4 months. (interupted halfway by 5 days Kuala lumpur.

Who gives me the best advice for a SIM card with a lot of data for about 4 months or longer?

I've posted about this before, but I've got some new information...

I need a new phone. I go back to USA for 3 weeks about every 2-3 months. Too much time to want to deal with two phones. As far as I know AIS will require me to use a physical SIM. Verizon is saying they only offer phones with 2 eSIMs. Sales people are sometimes derps though .. or is the world really on its way to only eSIM?

Hello, does anybody has the AIS App? I bought at the airport an SimCard. Its written on it Prepaid. The package with 40GB till 31.10 is almost over and i want more internet. What if the GB are used. Can i just load money up per App? Also with this package where is written for excampel - 40GB /30 Days? Cause in AIS App u can TOP with Money but if u load money on the App, there is no difference at the GB showen. I m somewhere where almost nobody speaks english. So maybe u can help me 🫣 thank u all for your Support 🙏
