Wireless Internet Phuket

[pgrin]

So I go into the CAT office in Patong to pay my wireless internet bill and I see a desk with several hand printed adverts selling second hand Sierra Wireless cards and the newer C-motech USB modems. They are going for about half the price of a new one and the service can be transferred to a new customer for 212Baht. You must do the transfer at the office to make sure the current owner is up to date on payments or the new owner is responsible. I forgot to ask about the requirements for the new owner(work permit/long term visa) if any. Just so info for anyone interested. Also, does anyone know the location of the CAT office in Phuket town?

Great info. Thanks. Do you think I can sell my CDMA phone?haha

The Cat Office in Phuket town is on Phang Nga Road just past the TOT office and on the same road as the big hotel Royal City Phuket (?) Which is also the same road as UBC...

Useful info....but where is the CAT office in Patong?

I see that CAT has also recently set up an outlet in Central Festival, on the 2nd floor near AIS.

CAT office in Patong is on the unfinished road at the south end of town. Soi Nanai and the main Rat u tit come together at the point you go to Karon. Instead of going south toward Karon go north into a divided road for about 500 meters. The paved part of the road ends and look to the right. Big blue building, CAT office.

Someone broke in to my house and stole my laptop with my Sierra Wireless card.

I still have my ext. outdoor antenna with a five m galvanised 1.5" pipe + the connection cable for the Sierra Wireless cards.

Any one like to buy, half price? 0862743060
