RafPinto Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 My ex is travelling next week for 3 weeks to Europe. Local Thai sim card with roaming activated or better buying a sim card, once arriving in Germany? Suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Cheaper if she buys a SIM card in Europe. Roaming is very expensive. Edit: Dtac Roaming packages (as an Example) https://www.dtac.co.th/en/roaming/rate/deu/ 60 Mins Calls Validity 7 Days Price 650 THB! 120 Mins Calls Validity 7 Days Price 1200 THB Internet 7GB 15 Days 899 THB So expensive Edited March 5, 2022 by MJCM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) I am not up-to-date about conditions in Germany (away too long). But as usual the #1 concern is having (mobile) internet access being able to use messengers whenever possible. Guess she has LINE and Facebook? For that a German SIM is recommended. Not sure whether LINE makes problems when changing SIM/phone number though. Telephone is last resort. Also quite expensive from the German mobile SIM to Thailand. There are multiple ways to get it cheaper with calling cards and things. But not too convenient. A bit complicated. Calling back the German number cost 5 to 7 Baht/min.

Probably most of time communicating with us here in thailand through line or whatsapp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trevor67 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I've been using the AIS Sim2Fly sim for 6yrs....but I think all Thai Telco's offer them. Works flawlessly everywhere I've been (Europe, N.A.,S.A., all Asia). https://www.ais.th/roaming/sim2fly/en/index.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepaid or postpaid? Which provider? The main requirements? local calls within Germany? calls to/from Thailand? mobile data? How much? budget? You can get a travel SIM or add on a package to an existing SIM. Enable international roaming. Consider using WiFi calling, if available. A local SIM is often the best solution. But a SIM from thailand offers service on touchdown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
