MJKT2014 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Sorry if this has been covered already, but is there a quick method on the mobile device or internet web sites for both DTAC prepaid and TrueMove prepaid to check the status of my International Roaming capabilities? I would like to know before I leave. Thanks for any pointers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCor Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 While my service will automatically into Laos when I'm near the border I'm pretty sure neighboring countries is the extent of the automatic roaming option. If you are planning a trip abroad and wish to continue using your Thai provider mobile service you'll need to actually call the provider service line and have them add roaming authorization. You may even need to select a 'roaming' package if you want cheaper than piracy Voice, SMS or Internet Data. See links: DTAC International Roaming, Rates and Packages also check the dtac roaming Traveling Abroad link to the .pdf manual at bottom of page TrueMove-H Traveling Abroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a link somewhere before and *118# did it also for DTAC prepaid. Simple and get immediate SMS confirmation. For True Move prepaid it was more difficult. Need to speak to a True rep online and ask for it. They need the ID number of the SIM owner to confirm it is OK also, just spoken to them, no need to send a copy. Then they are activated within 15 minutes. I think for True need to also have used SIM for at least 3 months also, but mine is over a year old so didn't ask.

mtls2005 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) You may be able to do this from the respective operators Android applications, and/or via their web-based management tools. For example, in the DTAC app, go to "Other", choose "International Service", choose "Settings" (the gear), toggle any of the three options: IR, data, roaming, etc. Turn off WiFi first. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=th.co.crie.tron2.android&hl=en https://my.dtac.co.th/esv/en/login?ref=dashboard https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.truelife.mobile.android.trueiservice&hl=en Edited January 23, 2018 by mtls2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008bangkok Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 If i was you i would use the Dtac wifi calling app, while abroad you can use the app for sending/receiving calls and it will cost the same as if you was in Thailand for calls (not data) so you wont have to pay roaming charges.

She does allow me to speak to other people as well. I'm going to work in Myanmar and will be making local calls there, leaving the wife at home. Got an MPT local SIM there as well now, 4G in the sticks, not bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
