Where did the credit go...??

[bluejets]

Clipped in an AIS sim....registered it and put in 100 baht credit to start. This was last week when we first arrived.

 

Didn't use it until about 3 days later, wouldn't work .....all thai notice comes up.....wife said , no credit.

 

Mmmmmm...??? Ok ...put in another 300 baht and left again for 3 days ,....went to use it today...yup...same message..no credit.

 

Been caught with similar before and wondered if there was some so-called "promotion" I need to turn "OFF" not to get credit drained.

 

Asked about it but get the answer yes, .........so how do I do..??? ......yes ....no sense this end so thought I'd ask here.

 

As it stands, I leave the bloody thing off ...stuff the phone...no good to me when I need it anyhow.

There's a reasonable chance it is apps using background data even if you are not actively using them.  Make sure that mobile data is switched off.

As said data must be turned off in phone until you buy a data plan (charge per minute without a plan will quickly use any normal balance up).

Yessss...!!! That was it...thanks.

Must have asked this mob here a dozen times but just a blank look.

 

When I said about your solution, answer comes, yes, of course...you must do.

Fug me, never get the guts of Thai reasoning even after all this time.

 

Stupid me had to ask this morning, where are we going...supposed to be shopping for some electric bits.....funny look.....eat of course,....yup, should have known.????????
