looby Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 HI everyone Sure someone can help me please? Last time in Thailand I was able to extend my Happy (DTAC) mobile number for 1 year by buying extra time. Does anyone please have the codes for this again please as I have left the info in the UK!! Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffphuket Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 The sim cards are so cheap now it's hardly worth worrying about. I extended my spare dtac mobile for six months from a text message they sent, but the cost per minute makes it unusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I know with 1-2Call, a B1000 top up makes that and all subsequent top up's good for a year. If you are in Bangkok, there is a DTAC office on the 4th level of CENTRAL WORLD, Chit Lom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deke Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Extend DTAC SIM validity period Dial *1013 2 Baht = 30 days 6 Baht = 90 days 12 Baht = 180 days To get a year you will have to do it a couple of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbeam1 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Hi, I don't know about Dtac. With AIS you go to 7/11 or somewhere similar and buy a regharge card. Maybe the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
looby Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 Thank you for that. I know sim cards are cheap, but I wish to keep the number makes life easier.

bifftastic Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I got my 12-call sim in April 2009, didn't get the year thing done, can't remember exactly when it said it was valid until when I left in May, It still worked in September and when I topped it up it said 'valid until xx/11/09' so I was thinking I'd need a new one in January but it still worked. Going off my UK pay as you go sim, I believe that the date is referring to the top up credit rather than the actual sim card itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With AIS, there's a grace period after the credit expiration where you can revive the sim. It tends to get longer the more credit you've put though it. I think my last, hardly used sim was live for 45 days or 60 days after the credit expired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did get quite a lot put through it in September, I did 'fire it up' in the UK in December and it roamed on to a network and I could still check my balance (2 Baht!) maybe that helped extend it as well?

tavarich Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I have been using the same number for close to 9 years. I have been topping of the 1-2 call and it is good until Feb. 2012. Just keep topping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep topping No need to top up ever with DTAC. If out of country, just exchange a few baht for validity online. Simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trunknuk Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 You can get a AIS SIM card called Nan Nan. The package has a pink cover with a yellow flower and they are good for one year on each top up of any amount. The only trick is you need to make a call once every 3 months. You can always add validity by entering a top up code when roaming in any GSM country. And you can buy top up with Paypal at ThaiPrepaidCard.com.
