That's too much. Dependent on the bandwidth you need and for how long, DTAC has 365, 180 & 90 days plans too. Ranging in bandwidth from 10Mbps(1.25MB/s) to 1 Mbps(0.25MB/s). Example, 90 days at 1/4/10 Mbps is 588.50/963/1391 baht respectively for unlimited 'no slow down' data. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk They have various packs covering six months, dependent on the bandwidth you need. Cheapest is a six month SIM from Lazada for around 370 baht inclusive of postage, which gives you 200 GB of data over six months, capped at 1 Mbps. Otherwise you can simply add a six or twelve month package to an existing SIM. Not sure if it's a typo, but Truemove H charged the same for a 6 & 12 month 1 Mbps unlimited package, at 642 baht. 4 Mbps for six months is 1498 baht. If you need more speed, you can take on of their 90 day 6 Mbps or 10Mbps packs for 1070 or 1445.50 respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyezhov Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Outside Thapra Mall tonight I was running 4.9 down, 6.6 up. Im going to test it in the city center tomorrow. Back here at my condo its 3.87/4.47 but im easily streaming Netflix. I dont know if the package I bought was "the best" but for the equivalent of $45 for 6 months Im damn happy with the service. I do lose the GPS in the MRT or in Malls on occasion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also get another 100 GB allowance over six months for YouTube, LINE TV & Facebook. If the OP makes do with a 1GB plan that slows down afterwards, it seems that 1 Mbps will be enough. I actually have one of these and don't have any issue with day to day usage. You only notice the speed when you are actually downloading or uploading a file. But for everyday usage such as browsing and social media it does the job. I bought it as a test and now it's staying in the phone. The faster plans are needed if you intend to tether, a laptop for instance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you change network in doing so, it might be possible. But not if it's a new SIM for the same network. But then as 2008bangkok states, you can still subscribe to other packages on your existing SIM at very reasonable prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecolonel Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 The OP has now awoken from his UK slumber!Disappointed re new sim cards. I currently have a Tru sim card (PAYG) with a number I'd prefer to keep ideally Three Q's1. Re those USSD's given yesterday , surely those can be punched in on my current set up(no new sim needed)? 2. If I then want to take up that offer longer term(hopefully 1mbps will be enough I agree ) on those attractive terms, must I go through a lazada type deal requiring a seperate sim? Will assume Tru not offering.. If so that would mean having to take out my UK sim(dual sim phone) which is just a minor ball ache. 3. Unless of course these cheap data packs also come with calls? In which case that will have a new number which is OK no ideal(possible to change?)Sorry many questions, normally id call tru but I'm in UK (plus they may not offer these deals 'directly' anywayThanks Sent from my Redmi Note 4 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be utilised on an existing Truemove H SIM. 2. Depends what deal you want. If 1 Mbps for six months, just tap in *900*9959# and it will cost you 642 baht. But....that particular code states valid until 31.10.18 and apparently you will arrive later than that. So you'll need to recheck/remind after the 31st. 3. If you get a SIM on the same network, you won't be able to port the number. No free calls are included. Usually around 1 baht per minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally as I'm coming to HH for 6 months I'm interested in saving money on my previous plans ie PAYG calls plus a 1 month data pack(213 incl tax) So calls and data pack for 6 months would be ideal if tru offer at reasonable price But I'm happy to split them if lazada (data only) works out cheaper... Or any other combo.... I'm a proper skinflint! I'll get on the websites tonight, thanks again for the Intel.

Ok thanks, I thought other poster was quoting monthly not 6 monthly. However I will stay with DTAC for now. I find it better than my other SIM for True for speed and get a reliable 10mbps down at the 3 different main locations I use it at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
