Need To Get OTP But Lost Thai SIM Card

[OliverKlozerof]

I'm in the US. I wired some money to my Bangkok Bank account so I could transfer it to a friend in BKK. I did this about a year ago. During the process it sent an OTP to my Thai (DTAC) number. I put my DTAC SIM back in my iPhone in order to get the OTP. Now unfortunately I've lost my DTAC SIM. Any idea how I can transfer money from my BKK account to my friend's SCB acct from the US without a Thai SIM card? (Sticky problem.) I guess I'll wait for Thai business hours and request a replacement SIM from DTAC.

Normally you have to attend one of their shops in person with your passport to get a replacement sim.

 

This is an anti-fraud measure to stop people obtaining access to a phone number and receiving OTPs belonging to the legitimate phone owner.

 

Give it a try though and see what they say.

Op not totally clear, you had the sim in the phone then it was gone. Maybe try the transfer again and hope it doesn't ask for OTP. I think getting a sim in US is a lost cause.

 

As an alternative, use Wise to transfer the money to Thailand
