webworldly Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Greetings! :-) Here's his question. On both his behalf and mine......thank you for any help you can provide. Hello D, I require inputs from u on this . In India when backpackers visit our country they buy a mobile phone connection for like rs 400 and some identity proof documents and top it up with a calling card which credits ur connection with calling money and one can recharge when money is goes nil It is called a PRE PAID CARD. i guess u had a prepaid connection in INDIA . Key players Vodafone (then orange/hutch) , Airtel,BPL etc. Can u please let me know if it is as easy to get a sim connection in Bangkok that we can use for roaming as well and the procedure / documents to get one in thailand. CHEERS! D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKAsok Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 50 baht will buy you a 'sim connection' in Thailand. No 'identity proof documents' are required. If it's not already, your friend's phone will need to be unlocked from its home network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webworldly Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hey MKAsok...thank you! I think he will be staying somewhere around Sukhumvit Soi 20. Do you by any chance know where a shop that sells these "Sim connection" (cards) would be that is near there? What phone company's SIM card do you think is best? CHEERS!

Like the other posters have said - any 7-11/Family Mart etc, however, I'm not sure they sell the 50 bht sim cards (I think 7 sell them for 300). Your friend might have to go somewhere like MBK if he's that bothered about paying less. Personally I would go with AIS (one2call), "the network of champions," but that's just me... mk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
