After spending ages going through numerous threads, I'm still as puzzled as ever. here's my problem. we can't get a phone line where we've moved to. I didn't think for a minute, that getting a phone line would become such a major issue as Thailand is developed enough a country...or so I thought! Anyway, cut the long story short, now we can't get internet access the traditional way, so it looks like we have to head towards mobile internet option. Anyone can recommend the best solution/provider in Sattahip area? Or maybe there is another way out? i heard mobile internet is still relatively slow.

Any tips?

Many thanks in advance!

I use Loxinfo - I have a Satelite dish - its ok. One thousand bt a month.

dtac gprs is ok at around 300b per month

I saw that True is offering unlimited access (WIFI/EDGE/GPRS) for a mere 450 THB a month. too good to be ''true''?

Try to buy someone's line(number). There is a possibility if you ask around someone would be willing to give up their line for the right price.

AIS/ one2call do a gprs package. You need a compatible phone.

20 hours for 107 baht on a (easily canceled) monthly subscription.

Shi_te connections though - at best 230Kb/s

Still I do my emails and web crawling when wired to the laptop.

Hi there

Try Hutch 2MB via GPRS/Aircard (Stick) You can actually try it out at their shop next to TUKOM and get all the different packages explained.

Go back to TOT and staple 300 baht to your application. It might surprise you how quickly a phone line becomes available.

Thanks so much for all the recommendations. Will make more enquiries and will post back soon

Offer some money to the person in charge. It worked for me. I waited 5 years but once he knew he would get a a bit money I had the phone installed within 2 weeks;

Wee Jimmy.

Wee Jimmy was right! I spotted the telephone engineer on the ladder doing something on our road yesterday. went up to him, he first said ''no phonelines''. After 5 mins however, he suddenly could find me not one but three lines... for a cost of 3000 baht and i can have it installed in a couple of days. it seems to be a common practice over here so just had to swallow it

So, there we are, money certainly talks!

oh, by the way, i only agreed to one line ( who needs 3!!!). so if any of you guys live in Sattahip, just look out for the telephone engineers, they still have 2 available if the price is right lol!

I own a Condo in Jomtien .Have tried Mama WiFi at 400 baht a month but it has a weak signal and constantly cuts out .This week i got Hutch and its miles better .It was 16,900 baht for the modem plus unlimited use for one year .Now i can look at Youtube videos again .

Thaifan2,

what kind of speeds do you get?

I have a vodaphone card that uses a DTAC SIM card for GPRS and it is ok for browsing, but terrible for downloading etc.

>>>>>3.1 Mbps

EDGE would be better than GPRS
