I live a long way from the nearest CAT office so before I make the journey to ask a few questions there I thought I would ask here to see if any one else is using / has used a CAT sim card to connect to the internet .   I am looking at the CAT 6Mbps 3 or 6 month postpaid option .

 

CAT web site

Just looking through the CAT web site I saw a list of terms  and conditions relating to the 6Mbps option .

At home I have a wireless WiFi router that I insert a sim card into that provides an internet connection to various devices through out the house ( Android tablets / mobile phones / Laptops ) .
 

The areas in the above terms and conditions that worry me are marked in red.

 

Any one using / has used  a CAT sim card to connect to the internet , if so how did things work out ?

 

 

Thanks 

 

 

 

 

 

I have the 12-month 4Mbps version on my phone. I ported my number from True to CAT recently in order to get it.

 

Works fine but I have never tried to use it as a hotspot etc.

 

My previous True 12-month data package could not be added to my existing SIM so I was obliged to use it in a 4G/wifi dongle but I found that rather inconvenient, hence the complete switch of my number to CAT.

Thanks for getting back , have you experienced any speed throttling or data restrictions ?

 

I saw another forum member say some thing about having a CAT sim card  and that it would not work in their WiFi sim card router , so they contacted CAT and I think it was some how sorted out , but trust me I can’t remember who the forum member was.

No, but I dont use it much. It worked fine for streaming BBC radio to my car stereo on a recent trip, and it worked for watching TV from overseas in a Bangkok hotel also.

Probably they just need to enter the APN details. 

Instead of concerning yourself overly about it, just get a My by CAT SIM and try their service out.

You get a new SIM, choose a Main Package and then apply the code shown below

You can get 4 Mbps unlimited for a month for 96.30 baht by entering;  *906*490# after you choose a Main Package.

Main Package costs nothing, it's just a choice of how much the default cost of calls and SMS will be.

The 96.30 baht price seems to be a one month promo trial price? Or can one use the code again and again?

I am sure it is a one off. 

But a good introduction to the service, to see if it works for you.
