Bangkok Bank and AIS apps locked me out concurrently. Today, I wanted to pay by QR using the Bangkok bank app, I got the notorious locked app warning message indicating name on my SIM is not matching the name on the bank account which is a huge bogus as I use this AIS number for more than 2 years and opened it myself with my passport and all info is genuine. I noticed my AIS app also kept closing when I clicked on it, apparently they also locked me out for some reason but my wireless service was uninterrupted. Bangkok Bank demanded a letter from the AIS shop to unlock the app. AIS shop said they just wanted to take my new photo and see my passport again, I quickly solved the AIS issue. But why do I have to go through this. It seems either it is so lax in Thailand that agents can get phone numbers to scammers under false IDs or every single foreigner must line up with their passports at wireless and bank counters to have their photo taken and passports validated. Always extremes.. land of .miles long queus

I have Verizon as my cell phone and I'm on a plan where basically I get unlimited 5G, unlimited international calling, unlimited texting and i'm not about to give it up. But, I want a post-paid Thai number for my eSim #2 - any suggestions on companies and/or plans?

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.

I’m looking for a recommendation for the best Thai sim options for someone moving to Thailand long term. Which is best, AIS, True Move H, or DTAC? My phone is already unlocked
