Seeking suggestions on mobile services for Thailand where we can keep the same number but not have to pay monthly as we are in Thailand about 6 months per year.

Background; We’ve been traveling to Thailand the last 3 years on various visa types and just got a DTV in December. Yay! We had been topping up our original SIM cards so we had the same phone number all 3 years. However, TRUE/ DTAC just sent notification that this will no longer be possible due to new Thai telco regulation. What are the alternatives?

Thanks!

Hi, I’m going into AIS tomorrow to get a Thai phone plan so I can start the process of opening a bank account. I’m hoping someone can give me some advice re what type of plan I need to get? Will a pre paid plan be accepted? Or do I need to sign up for a monthly plan? And if so, how do I pay for it if I don’t have a bank account? Thanks very much for any advice 😊

I'm just sharing some information about SIM cards. I needed a high-speed, unlimited data SIM card for working from home. At the AIS shop in a nearby shopping mall, I couldn't sign up for the 1199 baht 5G MAX unlimited plan. However, I was able to sign up at the AIS shop in Siam Paragon. It seems that because there are relatively few users of the DTV visa itself, there are differences between shops. By the way, with TRUE, I was told that I would need to buy a new tourist SIM every month, which wasn't practical.

Whilst in Thailand for two months initially, i need to buy a SIM for opening a bank account. But also to speak with family back home.

The house we are renting doesnt have wifi and i dont want to install one for just two months.

What are the best data packages in Thailand for unlimited wifi so I can tether my iPad to my iPhone?

So, when I get a cell phone in my name, will my receipt reflect that? Debating on getting it in the small town near me or going to Khon Kaen. Not sure if the small town cell provider would know what I'm talking about for proof of the plan in my name. Thanks.
