No need to have the carrier turn on Roaming. No need for a VPN using the app outside Thailand. ❌ Incorrect, there are plenty of examples of people not receiving OTPs abroad without turning on International roaming (not data) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalasin Jo Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 In short, yes you can.. You will need an active Thai SIM though to receive the OTPs by SMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobile phones have 3 separate services: Voice, SMS (text), and Data (internet). In theory it is possible to enable/disable international roaming for each separate service but in practice it's up to the telco. My personal experience from Australian telcos is that it's all 3 or nothing at all. There's why you have to make sure to turn off Mobile data when you are connected to a foreign network. I haven't roamed with a Thai SIM card yet however if I was planning to and wanted just SMS recieve-only roaming then it's something I'd check with the telco(s) before I left.

I had to use an ATM. How about setting up a Dee Money account. You can then make e-tranfers from BB to Dee money with your Thai SIM card number. Setting up a Dee money account is pretty straight forward although they wanted additional photo ID. My UK driving licence proved useful for the first time.

That's correct - voice (and SMS) use mobile networks and that's what you need for OTPs etc. Data uses the internet and is not required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danderman123 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I often travel, and use Bangkok Bank mobile banking for cash transfers within Thailand. No VPN, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ianguygil Posted March 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 28, 2023 With our Mobile Banking and our Internet Banking, both for Consumers, you can use it from wherever you want to (subject to any embargos like North Korea). We do not limit by IP address and we use AKAMAI so your experience should be fast from wherever you choose to access us from. However, one limitation will be if you want to do something with risk which will required a OTP via SMS to authenticate you (the SIM for the SMS is "what you have" from a security standpoint). Then you will need a Thai phone, but you will only need to turn on Roaming for GSM, not for Data, to do that. Hope this answers questions. If you have more please post here. For anything identifying you please send me a PM and we will go to Bank email. Thank you 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you effectively have 2 signals on your phone which you see at the top. The "GSM" signal and the data signal. And again, USSD is a basic capability to allow for the delivery of effectively text based interactions from any device, old dumb candy bar phones of the latest iPhone or ANDROID. So you do NOT need a data signal / plan for USSD. You just need to connect to the GSM Phone network. Here you go What is USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data)?
