Bring your dongle. AIS 1-2 call sim card from 7/11 49 baht then 120 baht for 30 hours, 520 baht for 250 hours or 1000 baht unlimited. All per month. All pay as you go just top up before the month is up.

If Hutchinson is the same as three.ie then the dongle will be locked. No idea on how to unlock it, I think the unlock codes are for sale for about 9 Pounds.

Alternatively you can buy a cheap one over here, costs about 2,000 Baht.

Do not that we're only having GPRS/EDGE in Pattaya, no 3G, so speeds are limited to about 0,1 to 0,2 Mbps compared to the 1 to 3 Mbps you'll get on 3G!

OK for a bit of surfing and checking e-mails, streaming radio will work most of the time, but forget downloading big files and streaming video...

VOIP (skype etc) will also not work properly most of the time.

Hi Nalak

I've used DC-Unlocker (Google it) twice so far once last year on my brothers Sierra Wireless card and again this year on a cheapo UK '3' locked Huawei E156 (connected on DTAC with it now!). The first one was simple the Huawei took a few goes to get my laptop to recognise the dongle properly. You just download their software which should then recognise and read youre dongle then you register and buy credit on their website which is recognised by the software and used to unlock your dongle. A further slight complication is that for dongles like the Huawei that have a customised /locked connection dashboard you'll need to get a generic one from your dongle manufacturers website, DC Unlockers' forum has links.

Andrew
