Not connected to any network. You are making a mountain out of a molehill. The box to which I linked is suitable. Your bigger issue is actually getting what you want to watch up and running. You are making too much of an issue about the box.

...and that you don't live above the 5th floor if you intend to use the service.

I know and I already linked you to suitable boxes. Didn't you see?

Sorry, but your post makes no sense at all. Promo isn't be found on their website. If it was, you wouldn't overexcited about paying 699 baht + VAT instead you would see the deal that I mentioned, but you didn't. So your advice is not good at all in this instance. I don't ever check for promotions on the providers website. I have no idea as to why you are telling me it's all about the Internet. You are paying 249 + VAT for 10 GB of data. I just informed you that you can get unlimited data for 235 baht....and you respond by trying to tell me that the best place to look is on their website....and that it's all about the Internet.... Makes no sense to me at all...sorry.

NO. Not even close. Problem is that people hijack the thread for their own purpose and your request is all but forgotten.

Don't bother. The specification is almost certainly a fabrication. I would guess 2 GB of RAM with 16 GB of storage, as opposed to the fabricated 8 GB/128 GB. The poster recommending should know better.

Poor value. You can obtain Unlimited 4 Mbps with free any network calls for 150 baht per month or even Unlimited 8 Mbps with free within network calls for the same amount. Alternatively the AIS Marathon SIM offers 15 Mbps with a 100 GB per month limit and 60 minutes of any network calls for around 1500 baht for 12 months of usage. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ais-15-mbps-100gb-ais-24-60-12-i871660071-s1759688858.html

Don't get overexcited. First, test the speed you can get at your place with Truemove H. If it's not more than 30 Mbps, then what sense is there to pay 699 plus VAT, when you can buy a 30 Mbps plan for 235/265 with free any network calls?

Sorry, this thread is about SIM card routers. If you want to chat off-topic, try a PM. Otherwise...

You are and you were completely wrong and now you are just posting utter nonsense.

Your reply is totally erroneous. Any networks calls include landlines. You are also wrong with regard to the duration. Each call can be up to 15/30 minutes in duration. Then you either hang up and redial or pay for the remainder, if wanting to continue the call. There is no limit to the amount of calls that you make with Unlimited any network calls. There is no monthly free limit unless specified; e.g. 60 minutes per month.

What don't you understand about not using SpeedTest? You are just foolishly wasting time. Forget about any 70 GB SIM and buy a capped pack as advised. You are losing all sense of proportion and focus.

Why are you reply to a replay meant for another poster? None of your friends around this evening? I seem to recall that you also bought a mobile router, so all in all, your post seems just nonsense. What has a spare charger to do with it? Just because you are prepared to foolishly leave your phone on charge whilst using it as a hotspot in place of a dedicated mains powered router, doesn't mean that others may choose to deplete their expensive and perhaps not easy to replace battery. Not to mention the heat adding to the general malaise. Using a phone as a Hotspot is meant to be a temporary solution. The OP asked about SIM routers, but silly Trolls are determined to bang on on about their mobile phones.

Easy mistake to make. Have you tried AIS? You can choose unlimited 15 or 20 Mbps with them. They did, until recently, have an unlimited 30 Mbps option at 235 baht per month. Try a normal 50 baht SIM to test the max speed you can get with them. If more than 20 Mbps, then go for their 20 Mbps offer. You can add a day pack to the Truemove H SIM to test the max you can get with them. https://pre-truemoveh.truecorp.co.th/topping/volume_base_internet_package_en.html If 20 to 30 Mbps, you can choose either their 20 Mbps(200 baht) or 30 Mbps(235 baht) offerings.

Is this on your 4 Mbps Truemove H connection or another SIM pack?

I am saying that it's worse and anyway he would have another device in the home if he buys a router. What advantage is there to spending more on another mobile phone? The OP asked about a router, not using a mobile phone about a HotSpot. Windows images, for instance, can take a while to download, you cannot stream them ???? Back ups to the cloud. Do they need to stop because you are popping out to the shops? Seriously, it's a terrible idea. Useful only if you already have a smartphone and nothing else.

The only way to keep your number, would be to call AIS and ask them to apply a suitable package month by month package for you. They do that for the one year SIM. Some members were offered 10 Mbps for 150 baht per 30 days or 10 Mbps with free any network calls for 200 baht per 30 days. If you go for the pack without the free calls, but you would like free AIS calls, tap in *777*498# before you top up. Then top up the 150 baht. That will give you free unlimited AIS to AIS calls every time you top up 150 baht.

You can apply them yourself via USSD code or simply pick a vendor from Lazada who has them and can supply or apply. If I post them here, the vendors get nothing.

You think? So that download taking place has to stop because you are going out? Anyone else using the Internet has to use their phone as a hotspot or wait until you get back? That's also going to be great fun for the battery of the device. It's a terrible idea. Only useful if you have nothing else.

That's more than an entry level 4G router. Android phone is not suitable for use as a permanent hotspot anyway. Plus you'd have to make sure the cheap Android phone has carrier aggregation enabled. Not only that, but enabled for the channels needed for the network that you choose.

The monthly offers run for at least six months, in theory. In practice, it might be longer. ???? If they do inform you that it is ending after six months, just give the call centre a buzz and they will continue it for you or offer the closest that they have at the same cost. You can top up the whole amount for six months, 900 baht or just top up prior to each monthly renewal date...or if you don't want to use it for a month or two...not top up at all. Personally, I would go for 15 Mbps unlimited with free any network calls for 200 baht. An upgraded version of the 8 Mbps offer, for not much more. 15 Mbps better for video etc.

I edited my post after checking the Most Recent tab of the review section. Noticed that there is another seller now. So perhaps a new batch has been released. https://www.lazada.co.th/products/3ais-8-mbps-8mbps-i3469757406-s12995656570.html Though actually cheaper to go monthly if you don't need the free any network calls.

Are you sure that the product still exists? That is the only vendor selling that package, anywhere. Doesn't mean that it isn't okay, just that I haven't seen it anywhere else. I only know of their monthly 8 Mbps pack. DTAC and Truemove H still have unlimited data annual packs. AIS just month unlimited these days. Typical examples with AIS: 4 Mbps with free any network calls, 150 baht per 30 days, 8 Mbps with free AIS calls, 150 baht per 30 days, 15 Mbps with free any network calls, 200 baht per 30 days and 20 Mbps with free AIS calls, 200 baht per 30 days

Use a reliable speed test, such as Test My: https://testmy.net Your "friend's phone" is a useless description. It might be applying carrier aggregation. If so, then your router may need to offer the same conditions. Prices would then be around 3.5k, as opposed to 1.5k. Furthermore, there are no 'affordable' unlimited plans that offer 40 Mbps in the first place. Unless you are planning to make do with 70 GB per month. The best you can do currently, is 30 Mbps with DTAC. Truemove H might be able to offer 30 Mbps at 235 baht per month, though possibly only through independent outlets or via the call centre. Otherwise it's 20 Mbps all round.

No, you don't. Don't give false info. TT rate is around 0.5 baht below the Spot Rate. But it's good if they send in Pounds with no fees from their side.
