How do you put money on someone's phone.

[canuckamuck]

I have a AIS postpay account. My daughter is away at camp but wants me to put some money on her phone. How is that done?

[Peterw42]

Any 7/11, most ATMs, online banking if you have it.

[Tayaout]

With DTAC you can do it from their mobile apps. 

 

AIS has a mobile top-up page:https://topup.ais.co.th/topup-fe/topup?lang=en

 

You can do it at 7/11.

I tried that site, when I click OK to do the transfer nothing happens. Maybe the site is not working?

There are quite a few different ways. Very easy: http://www.ais.co.th/one-2-call/en/topup-cash.aspx?intcid=sim2fly-th-howto3

 

You can top up at an ATM.

I would try AIS mobile app first. If you are on a pc then try another browser.

Annoyingly, last week we  closed the account that we would use for that and setup a new one, but haven't set up the mobile bit yet.

You can use one of the orange Boonterm machines you see all over the place, including outside just about every 7-Eleven. They have a touch screen and an English menu.

 

You select top-up, choose the amount, enter the phone number and put in cash.

 

Phone is credited instantly. There is a small fee if you top up under 100 baht. No fee if the top-up is 100 baht or more. Take a few coins as change isn't given.

 

[canuckamuck]

Anyhow, thanks for the help, but I got the neighbor to do it.

I forgot about that, ha.

Why don't you just top it up at an ATM?

Alright, then you'll have these orange machines in front of a local shop, or 7 Eleven, right?

 

It's pretty easy, just tried that for the first time a week ago.

 

   It's got an English menu and it's very easy to use.

Hardly a populated area without one or more.

Sometimes different makes (green or so).

Trust me it is an hour either direction from my house to a main highway. There are some small villages but no ATM's except one that doesn't ever work. All mountains in every direction.

It's all done now anyways.

 

Edit Oh I see my mistake you meant the top up machines. Yes I am an idiot I forgot about those

I usually top up at the corner shop near out area.

Guess he meant these orange/green machines, not ATM's....

Sure, orange machines.

Of course not ATMs at every corner. We have one ATM in a radius of 14 km or so.

 

From the phone:

It would be so easy with prepaid 12call but I don't know how it could work with postpaid.

Not if it's AIS.

I've been using this for ages. Easy peasy !  https://mobiletopup.com/

[Shengen]

I have app from my bank account, where I can transfer money directly from my account to any mobile number

[Qman]

You can do a balance transfer between AIS accounts/phones by dialing *140 on an AIS phone and following the instructions.  There is a small fee for the service but easy to do. 

 

My Kasikorn bank app allows easy phone top ups and you can send to any phone number.

 

Note you can also do validity transfers which is handy for people who want to keep their number but out of the country for extended periods.  Residents who top up regularly have no issues with validity and can transfer without any concerns.  Again, there is a small fee to do this.

[dotpoom]

Dial *140 and follow instructions.

   I'm sure any AIS counter would also advise.

If you live an hour away from a 7/11 - well, that is great - - but expect some other inconveniences..

 

For my niece, I go to the nearest AIS office and give them the money.
