samsensam Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 i'm no expert but if it's an iphone go to settings and select that app there should be a button to stop downloads... it's usually intuitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

me4175 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I have no idea how people can possibly waste money on mobile data anymore nowadays! Gomo offers 50 GB for 299 Baht and AIS has a flat rate of 10 MBit/s for the same amount. I'm sure other providers have the same kind of offers. Time to change your promotion!

Free wifi at home in condo. Free wifi in nearly every coffee shop/ bar/ restaurant/ bank/ barber/ shopping mall etc etc etc At other times it’s great being offline, although mobile still on for any important telephone calls. Therefore waste of money for mobile data plans for many in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it as it also helps quite well when I am in my car and want to listen to spotify (oh dear i pay for that too) and then use GPS in my car. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very easy if you do not use or have any use for a data plan (like many or us who prefer computers to phones).

I have a package attached that cost me 30 baht, which gives me an 'always on' 64 kbps connection. So no chance for 'inadvertent usage' and I can also check my message when on the go. 30 baht one time payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a mobile phone and use it. The only difference is that you cadge off free WiFi in order to save money. But it's a fools game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
