Thai Mobile Networks

[wjhall]

Will a phone with network coverage 3G: WCDMA B1/B2/B5, TD-SCDMA B34/B39; 4G: FDD-LTE B3/B7, TDD-LTE B38/B39/B40/B41 work OK in Thailand specifically on the AIS network although could change if that is an issue.

 

Thanks

Define "Work OK".

 

Voice? Data? Both?

 

What is the exact make/model? Please be very specific.

 

Over what time period? Just this year? A few months? Out into 2019/2020?

 

Locations can be important as well.

 

Seems like you'd be fine with all three providers with FDD-LTE B3, the question is what happens when you need to fall back to 3G for a voice call (assuming your phone doesn't support VoLTE).

 

Or you might be better off with TrueMove H, and possibly DTAC, which can fall back to 3G/850.

 

Maybe just bring the phone and try it out? If it works for you great. If not, buy a local phone.

Mainly Voice.  Phone is on sale at Geekbuying China Mobile A3s.  Just wanted a cheap phone for the wife. Good spec and only 2,200 baht

Does it have Thai language support?  Might work but if it doesn't support Thai language the wife might want to use it!
Just a thought.

go with dtac or true-h, will work with AIS but may drop calls/not work in lift shafts or out in the sticks
