Red Phoenix Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 3 hours ago, Red Phoenix said: As it seems there is no way of extending the expiry date of my current 1-year 30 Mbps unlimited download SIM (only possible when opting for a pricy and low Mbps subscription), I will reach out as you recommended to Mobile2you and hope they still have these SIMs in stock. The change of number is a pain, but I don't want to settle for a 10 Mbps package at 3.745,- THB (see previous post) just in order to keep my number. A happy ending... I just ordered a new 1-year 30 Mbps unlimited download SIM, directly from Mobile2You (cost 2.790,- THB), which will be delivered tomorrow (pay on arrival). Note that these SIMs are not available anymore via Lazada/Shopee nor in dTac shops or directly from dTac, but good to know that you can still get them directly from Mobile2You. Thanks to everybody for responses on my query. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photoguy21 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Have you tried contacting DTac to see what they can offer you? I know, it is an extreme idea but sometimes it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobblybob Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Excuse my ignorance but do you get a new telephone number with a sim card or can I use my old number. The reason I ask I have just bought another phone and I repaired the old phone and it is now without a card.🥴 Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This morning I wrote a message to dTac Support on Facebook: > Hi, I currently have a dTac 1-year 30 Mbps unlimited download SIM which I bought last year at Lazada/Shopee and which will expire soon. Is there an option to extend that SIM with another year with same specifications, i.e. 30 Mbps and unlimited download. - Four hours later I received following response from dTac: > Unfortunately, the promotion for 30 Mbps unlimited Internet is applicable with a new SIM only, and the promotion period already ended. dTac then wrote ... We have alternatives as follows: ... and provided three different options to extend my 1-year unlimited download SIM, but none of them at 30 Mbps. * 1 Mbps = 1.926, - THB * 4 Mbps = 2.675, - THB * 10 Mbps = 3.745, - THB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reached out to mobile2you with Lazada messaging, they directed me to their line account. They said they no longer sell them on Lazada or Shoppee but I could buy direct from them for 2790 which is exactly what I did. Quick delivery, a hour to register online with DTAC, I now have another year. Could you provide the link to mobile2you website? I tried Mobile2You.com and co.th and got nowhere... Thanks.

I just did that, they replied with "Now the product [30mbps] is out of stock. Unlimited internet customers have a maximum speed of 15mbps. Are you interested in using it first?" On the other hand, looks like Melon Thai is having it again, though the price is 1k more than last year.. In short the stock availability seems to change month to month.

Thanks to @sungod I ordered end of April that 1-year 30 Mbps Unlimited Download SIM at Mobile2You, and it was delivered next day. Price has indeed doubled (2.780, - THB) since my previous one, but even so it is still a bargain. Edited May 26 by Red Phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sooner I just placed an order for a 15 mbps dtac 1-yr sim at 2590 baht. Then shows up this 30mbps also from dtac from OppoKoreatown....Delivery 7-8 June. Price 3000 baht. Hmm...

WOW, 1.026,- THB for a 1-year 30 Mpbs unlimited downlead SIM! That's an absolute bargain, as it was already a very good deal at 3.000,- THB.

I'm just looking at the "fine prints:" The first 30mbps from OppoKoreatown seems to be issued in Thailand (2 day delivery). Never heard of Oppokoreatown... the 2nd 30 mbps from Mobile2you is shipped from overseas. The one you boght from Mobile2you in April took 1 day to arrive, correct?

watthong Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 2 minutes ago, Red Phoenix said: Yes it did. Thanks. As mentioned, earlier this morning I messaged mobile2you regarding the 30 mbps and they told me still out of stock. So for these 2 cards to show up, it looks very suspicious, since the provenance (seller) is unknown, or branded mobile2you but sold overseas by weird name (pajamas pa) sellers with dodgy ratings. So I think I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand any of this..... "AIS 200 month unlimited data...." What is that? I have AIS Unlimited 10 Mbps with Unlimited 15 minute calls for when I'm in Thailand. 200 baht per month. It is perpetually extended. Perhaps you meant that package. Now you are saying a girl in an AIS shop gave you the same deal for 1400 baht for six months. I think not, otherwise you would just continue the same package at the same price. She gave you another package and you don't seem to understand what she actually gave you. Is it this? Welcome to AIS One-2-Call! – LIVE DIGITAL, LIVE Detail SIM Price at 1,400 Baht (Valid for 6 months) Enjoy internet access at 4 Mbps for 20 GB/ month. After the limit is reached, continue access at 128 Kbps. Call in AIS 1 Baht/hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked into it: Mao Mao Marathon 4 Mbps 6 months for 1400 baht. 12 months for 2500 baht There is also Mao Mao Marathon 6Mbps 6 month 1800 baht and 12 month for 3500 baht.

I already have a 30 Mbps unlimited download SIM from dTac which is valid till mid April next year. But I ordered that advertised SIM for use next year, as the price was 3 times lower than the Mobile2You one I have. And indeed the seller did sent me a different SIM than the one I ordered. That SIM featured maximum download speed, whether it was unlimited download was unclear (it said 50 GB on the SIM), and it had 100 free phone calls per month to any provider. Quite a good deal for 1.064,- THB. That particular DtAC I might have considered keeping the one that they did sent me, were it not that it was already registered and expiry date was 30 March 2025. So I contacted Lazada that it was not the product that I had ordered, and the courier came to pick it up again within hours, in the days after that I received a message from Lazada that the money I paid on delivery is on my Wallet, and can be either send to my Thai bank-account or can be used for later orders. So yes, somewhat of a scam by the seller, advertising a different product than what he sends over. Actually I don't understand why the seller does not advertise the ACTUAL product that they will provide, as that one is not available anywhere in Thailand and is a very fine deal.

The expression 'living in the sticks' aptly summarizes my location. Obviously there is no cable here, so I rely on the SIM in my mobile phone to get Internet connection, which I use as hotspot to my laptop. Just did a small test using https://speedtest.adslthailand.com/ And my 1-year 30 Mbps unlimited download SIM shows 26.9 Mbps download speed average. Needless to say that that allows for streaming HD-movies without any glitches. But of course I agree that the download speed will vary according to location.
