I've just switched from AIS to True 12 month deal for 1380 baht but I think AIS is better, check Lazada for 12 months 1800 baht 10mbps unlimited sim, you can hotspot for your TV

It states 100 GB per month. That isn't unlimited.. 

 

OP should run speed tests on a normal SIM before deciding on long term packages.

 

If he can get fast and stable speeds from any particular network, then that is the one he should choose.

 

For actual unlimited data SIM; DTAC is the cheapest, at 1390 baht for 12 months of Internet usage: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/sim-net-dtac-dtac-10mbps-12-muntookdee-i1154204644-s2700554573.html

 

Then Truemove H at 1890 baht; https://www.lazada.co.th/products/10mbps-sim-net-true-1-4g-unlimited-i548834295-s995312071.html

 

Followed by AIS @ 2199 baht: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/ais-8-mbps-10-mbps-24-1-i1609074603-s4399518021.htm

 

But first get a normal 50 baht SIM and run a speed test to make sure you can get the full 10 Mbps.

 

If you want to use it for your home Internet connection, you can buy a router:

Their Official shop charges more: https://shopee.co.th/shop/52924097/search?shopCollection=7603552

If it's just a SIM for SatNav use; you could probably get away with just using an AIS 128 kbps pack at 33 baht per month or just a day pack as and when you intend to use it.

Sorry to show my ignorance but I have an AIS Sim card for years paying about 500  per month.  I use for data, LINE ,some TV on line and some phone calls etc.  Most of the time I connect the phone to home WiFi.

If I buy one of these annual sims from Lazada or Shopee, can I transfer my existing  simcard phone number. Sorry if it's a 'dummies' question.

Most phones have 2 SIM slots, just put your old SIM in the 2nd slot.

I buy a chuckable data SIM every year, and keep a permanent number SIM in the 2nd slot.

Call AIS Customer Service and tell them exactly what you have written here. That you have been with them for many years and all of your friends on AIS in a similar position have been offered unlimited 10 Mbps for...name your price: Anything from 150 baht monthly for data only to 250 baht, for data and calls.

Some here have been offered it; so don't be afraid. Just be gently insistent in a calm and polite manner.

This is exactly what I do.

I purchased an AIS SIM on 15 February 2021 under the promotion of 10 Mbps for 300 baht per month. The lady at the kiosk told me it is only good for 6 months. 

 

My profile on the AIS website indicates "Mobile service year 5 months" as of today. What does this mean?

 

What are my options to keep this AIS number and continue service? Would it help to visit an AIS shop in the mall? Thank you.

It means that you have owned the SIM for five months... If you get an SMS stating that the promotion has ended, call Customer Service and ask them to extend. If no go(unlikely to say no) then porting your number to a new DTAC or Truemove H SIM and adding a 10 Mbps promo to that is an alternative.

Another 35bht/month if you want Disney/Hotstar.

can you watch Disney on a tv via an android box or would you need to watch it from your phone do you know?  Just thinking if it's useful for my kids.  Don't want them to watch it on my phone though.  What is Hotstar?
