12 month net sim still working 2 years later

[kwak250]

I purchased a 12 month ais sim in October 2022

Still working and next month it will be 2 years.

Probably jinxed it now but always use it in one of those small mobile routers that are very small and handy for taking on holiday.

Never been used in the phone just as a hotspot.

Keep thinking I will need to buy a new one but this keeps going and quick internet connection .

Anyone else experienced this?

Not that I am complaining .

I expect if I put the sim in a phone it would expire .

Is it a True SIM?

Are you also saying you have never topped it up in any way - Ie no new money on top of whatever you originally paid for it 2 years ago?

The AIS net marathon 1 year SIMs tend to self renew if you have enough credit in your account.

1,600bht (ish), taken the day your last year expires.

 

Strangely enough I have the same deal, from AIS, also started in October 2022.

Think I'll dump AIS this October as the data has become very iffy for phone banking.

DTaC Turbo100 next time.

my 30-day AIS tourist SIM is still active 12 months later.
I let it lapse after the first month. After 3 months back at home, I was able to put a few baht on it and it fired straight back up.
Now I just make sure to keep an eye on it while I'm out of the country (home) and keep at least a few baht credit on it, until I'm in Thailand. No problem whatsoever.
I think they keep the number reserved for at least 6 months, if you let the credit expire.

Never been topped up it got registered 2 years ago and never been out of the small pocket mobile router since,

Never topped up and no idea what the number is.

 

paid about 1600 baht or 1800 baht and it should have finished last year.

Could it be that it has never been in a mobile since it was registered?

 

it gets used daily by my son as all his friends have no data and they connect to this .
