Problem With 1-2-call Mobile...

[kevdulounge]

Hey I bought a mobile phone with a 1-2-call sim card last month. I added 100 baths of credit. After about a month, It said I had to but some more credit or the number would be disconnected. So I added 100 baths. a week after that it said I had to add some more again (I had 90 baths left), so I added 50 baths... 3 days after it said I had to add some more again... The thing is I didn't make a single phone call in that time, and I still had plenty of credit! what should I do ? They disconnected the line and it will expire in a few days if I don't add some credit... What the heck is the deal with these people ? I have to buy a new card every week ??

anyone know about it ?

many thanks

Although I haven't of it for ages, SIM card fraud is a possibility. Why don't you buy a new SIM card (& register it), and then see what happens?

Your probably confusing credit and validity..

When you buy tiny amounts of credit 50 and so baht you only get a few days added onto its duration / validity.. If you buy 500 baht top ups you get much longer..

Otherwise you could buy a 50 baht card, never use the credit and have it for incoming calls on thier network forever..

Switch to the Sawasdee simcard (from AIS/1-2-Call) or DTAC Simple simcard. With any refills (even 20 baht), you get 365 days validity.

Hmm my 12call is valid until Aug 2008.

When you to-up with small amounts, you only get 7 days validity, if you top up with 300 baht you get one month.

You could consider calling the call center, *122# and explain the situation, they will then apply sawadee un un promotion, which will give you one year validity when you top up with at least 50 baht.

you need to make at least one call every three months to keep the sim active, if you go abroad for several monhts, activate internation roaming (*125*1#) and then you can make that one call every three monhts abroad as well (50 baht one minute), to make a call abroad press *131* country code, number#.
