spambot Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Are there any recommendations for the best 6 month unlimited data tariff (any mobile network) with a url link? I cancelled my post paid True plan when I went back to UK, pre Covid, but will be back in Thailand in a few weeks. I seem to remember that getting 6 months at the best rate was available either from online packages on Lazada or by actually visiting the True, AIS, Dtac retail shop. So far I am struggling to find anything suitable from online search, just tourist sims available from the Airport. Any urls would be very welcome?

I don't do movie downloads anymore. Definitely enough for browsing etc, and can do updates etc over eg condo WiFi. YMMV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't download videos but we stream video off every platform. Pretty sure we wreck 100gb fast. We also hotspot our house. 1500 baht for year much cheaper than 600-800 month for inhouse internet. @ OP. First thing you need to do is decide on carrier based on where you will be in Thailand. Find out who is good in that area (or more like BAD so you don't choose them). I use DTAC in Pattaya works perfect everywhere here. We have 10 mbps and 20 mbps. I honestly can't tell the difference. Maybe if you using several devices at once it would be noticeable. now they sell 15 and 30. I'd buy 30 since it's only 300 baht more. Just search the "carrier+ sim card" you want in Lazada search and it'll give you endless options. Again. make sure you get UNLIMITED at the speed you purchase and just buy from one with many reviews or under Lazada Mall stamp.

You need to decide if you actually want unlimited or not. AIS Marathon has a 100 GB limit and therefore does not meet your own specification. Rather than beating yourself down on price, regardless of any other factor, perhaps you should decide first on what you actually need and then request something that matches that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno123 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 The best or the cheapest? ☺️ A totally weird and confused thread. Asks for the best six month package and then proclaims the best they have found is actually a twelve month package ???? Then follows that up with a 'limited' six month package ☺️ Amazing. spambot indeed. In answer to the question, there are monthly, six monthly and 12 month options. There is capped speed with a data limit and Max speed with a data limit. There is capped speed with unlimited data. There is capped speed with unlimited data and unlimited within network voice calls. There is capped speed with unlimited data and unlimited any network calls..... Decide what you need, rather than just looking to scrape the barrel. NT Wireless Thunder is a substitute for fixed Internet; it is not a mobile service. If you have reception at your place and a device that works with LTE Band 40, then it's a viable option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bruno123 Posted September 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 The cheapest monthly tariff starts at 100 baht per month for a 1 Mbps connection. 150 baht for 4 Mbps with unlimited any network voice calls. Same for 8 Mbps with unlimited within network calls. 200 baht gets you unlimited 15 Mbps and unlimited any network calls. Really no need to cheap out. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spambot Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 I hear all the feedback and there are some good comments made. I do accept that my approach is scattergun, but in defence I was listing anything that was better than the tariff I was last on with True View for about 9 yrs, post paid unlimited 1,200 Bht / month. I initially could not find these deals on Shopee and Lazada (using poor search keywords), then after finding some either being 6 or 12 month tariffs just seemed too unbelievable. However now finding the responses to this post tells me that many of these deals are real and should be a considered as a solution. I am not back in Thailand for a few weeks and I have been looking at my unlimited tariff here in UK - I am currently averaging around 120Gb / month and hence as identified the 100Gb monthly limit should probably not actually be a consideration.

Find out which network gives the best coverage at your place. Truemove h and DTAC only achieve around 4 Mbps at my place, so no point in splashing out on a 30 Mbps SIM with them in my case. In another apartment, AIS and Truemove H were terrible and DTAC was the best. So don't get carried away by the specification. You need to know how it performs at your place. Current 'best' deals include the Unlimited 15 Mbps with any network calls or 20 Mbps with within network calls from AIS @ 200 baht per month. 30 Mbps for 265 baht per month from DTAC & Truemove H(the latter two inclusive of any network calls). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife just recently bought a similar package for parents and they got 15 MBS, 100gb on 5G network. Even if the package you're looking at is 10 it's an average deal why the surprise?

It has unlimited any network calls, as opposed to just sixty minutes of any network calls included in Truemove H's offer. But not the SIM for you. More for someone who uses their phone like a phone ???? If you are using around 4GB per day, you might want something snappier. 15, 20 or 30 Mbps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spambot Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 Good points about checking the speed available in the actual location. My last tariff was in a Bangkok condo and the data speeds changed when I once moved rooms to a higher floor. Likely location will be Pratumnak.

lopburi3 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Will add a caution with NT - it is not a normal sim verification process and on Shopee seems to be somehow linked to buyer/order number and 2 days of trying to activate by Thai resulted in message to visit office. May not be a viable option for some. We gave it a toss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno123 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 20 Mbps with DTAC costs 200 baht per month with a new SIM. Can apply using a vendor code or obtain the SIM from a vendor who has access to the USSD codes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha - Looking at the tourist rates available from Dtac, 15-day Unlimited Internet 30 GB at Max Speed 599Baht https://www.dtac.co.th/en/prepaid/products/tourist-sim.html OK - So this looks like the solution - Is the process: Get the sim from an online vendor or would it work if get the sim (with a different tariff) from a 7/11 store and then apply the vendor code / USSD code?

You definitely should go online for the promotions and flashsales. There's promotions for 24 hours up to 1 year. Even carriers have promotions on there Facebook page. Ultimately I find packages in Thailand very reasonable. I'm paying 399 baht for 20GB,5G,and unlimited calling. 5g Super Khum 399 a month no contract. 299 for 4G. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
