Guys,

My customers in the USA have fixed wireless terminals - basically a mobile phone in a plastic box that never moves. They are used as a backup for their alarm system in case the landline goes down.

Problem is, the cheapest Prepaid SIM is around US$9 per month and the vast majority of units hardly ever make a call. So, I am looking at ways of reducing the monthly fee by using a Thai SIM card with roaming enabled. Obviously, this has to be done on the understanding that if a call has to be made, it will be quite expensive.

So, is there a SIM package out there at the moment that might be of interest to me or can anyone suggest the best Thai SIM provider (GSM) to approach to try and negotiate a business deal ?

In the UK 'pay as you go' sim cards never expire, with either credit or time (I live in Thailand but keep a pay as you go sim for when/if I do have to go back to the UK.When I get there I just put the sim in my phone and its active with all the previous credit still there, however long it's been since I used it last). Surely they must have something similar in America, so as long as there was enough credit on the card to make the 'few calls required' there wouldn't be a monthly charge at all. If the American pay as you go system isn't the same use UK sim cards. If the credit does run low you can top it up on line.

Almost nobody gave you an answer,I will give you good advice.May be its not politicaly correct,so - do not tell anybody.

Do you remember what was the choice SIM cards of....alkeda(I mean that dreadfull,u-no-what)?

SwissCom if you do not know.Validity - 2 yrs.Before political scandal you could buy them in SimLimTower in Singapore.

Now - it is necessary to register them on purchace,so - only Zurich.

There is better choice for your purpose - also Swiss,called Sunrise,why better? - for outgoing calls on roaming you just dial:+countrycode,u-number instead of callback,you can also send sms(SwissCom - only receive),they work well-worlwide.Thai simcards

do not roam automatically.Swiss sim cards remain valid with zero balance!(to receive sms of course,to receive & call - you have to pay!)

I hope,U do not plan to use it in any remote controlled toys,like they do in ..so called deep south of LOS...just joking..
