August 29, 20241 yr I have DTAC sim, have used it for years. I'm ouside of Thailand. Is it possible to obtain eSIM in addition to my physical sim? Alternatively, convert my physical sim to eSIM somehow?
August 29, 20241 yr Conversion of your existing SIM ought to be no problem, I just did it for a UK SIM. My True app has an option to convert to eSIM, how about DTAC, does their app not have the same?
September 1, 20241 yr Author "How about DTAC" - no idea. They have 2 apps, both are awefully confusing. I don't even know how to sign up to either of them

Did you register your existing DTAC SIM with your personal ID (Passport) while you were in Thailand?

You need to work out which one you don't need. My experience with DTAC and registering SIM's that have been purchased online is that their online ID verification that's needed before the SIM can be activated, only works for Thai nationals. Foreigners can only do it in person at the DTAC store.

You are out of the country but want to do something that requires a foreigner to go to the DTAC store. Have you worked out how to use the "awfully confusing" DTAC app that you need yet?

Re-read the question. Answer only it. Or don't answer at all.

Are you mentally ill? Why else would you respond in such a manner to someone helping you? DTAC and DTAC only are the ones who can look at your status, answer your question and effect the transfer if possible....and you can call them for free. If you are unable to communicate with other humans in a civil manner, then perhaps it would be better for you to not ask questions here at all. Hopefully we will not see the likes of you here again.
September 9, 20241 yr Prepaid or postpaid? Did you register for international roaming? Make & model of phone? I did a bit of research, and most references to switching to an eSIM start off with "Visit a DTAC hall..." There is a menu pick within the DTAC mobile app: "Order and Activate eSIM" but all of that section is in Thai only. Based on a minimum of research I'd say the answers to your questions are "No" and "No".
