Since about 1pm today I have not been able to make a call on my mobile and also when people call me my phone rings but cuts off when I answer.

I do not think there is anything wrong with my phone and I have not been cut off due to non payment of a bill. I still have edge access and can use the Internet but just no calls!!!!

Very strange.

Is anyone else having problems? I am using an iPhone through True!

try putting all the settings back to standard or taking the phone into a true store and just ask them to take a look at it for you.

Sounds like a network problem though if your mobile internet is still working fine. Not the case though if you connect via wi-fi.

Try getting a life instead of bragging about your iPhone on ThaiVisa.

<deleted> - When in Thailand buy Nokia.

Quick fix is to buy a 1000 baht mobile from Tesco that makes calls and sends SMS and use that instead. Not as flash as an iphone but they work all the time - and you can change the battery yourself if needbe

This forum is turning into crap, I asked a simple question. But since have found out there is something wrong with true network anyhows.

Bunch of pricks.

Thanks for the The advice mrclough, nice someone can help. Thank you.

Onnut...I wouldnt worry...think about the typically demographic of TV - "English" teachers who cant afford an I-phone, and OAP's whose pensions are taking a hit with the exchange rates who cant afford one either and even if they could, they couldnt switch an I-phone on with out the assistance of their wives....

Jealously mate..... pure and simple...

Just remember "There is no dark side of the moon"

Hope you got it sorted.

Lol thanks guys.

Still not sorted, it really seems like my sim could have a problem. I have tried it in another phone and no joy! Normally when network is busy it says that but at the moment I just have silence! No beeps or anything.

My staff said she has the same problem also with true and her phone showed that network was to busy.

Ah well, a quiet night and hope it's sorted for tomorrow.

Ah, again the great TRUE.

Nah, no good. I'm pissed off. My wife and the little boy are up country for songkran while I stayed home because of work and I can't call them or recieve a call. I can just about text them if I press send enough times!

True is bullshit! Tomorrow I am canceling my contract with them.

Is caller identity selected on?

Is caller identity selected on?

yes mate. It's gotta be true because it finaly rang her number.

Guess what?

She never picked up! Aaaaargh.

Another two hours of trying.

Have an old mobile, you can try the sim in and see if it works?

done that, twice. I know it's not the phone. Just true network. Is there anyone else having problems or am I just unlucky?

Yes, finely got through to them. So it had to be true. I will cancle tomorrow, stuff em.

Thanks guys or those of you with good answers.

My wife has an iphone, and she has been on it all day without any problems. I have a Nokia and no problems with my phone either. I am sure it is your server. I have been using a CATcom card for the past three years to make international calls, and never had a problem until this week. i will be talking for 2-3 minutes and the call cuts out. Go figure.

I feel your pain.

Monday my wife went into Ranong to pay bills. We try to do it in one trip as it takes 40 minutes just to drive in. Truevisions, and the computer is down., and they tell my wife to come back on the 16th. Well don't cut of the signal she tells them. They promised we would be ok. 13th turn on the tv, tune to chanel 93 and no signal. So today we went and Soha goes in all guns blazing. Different young lady but the same guy. Guns blazing didn't make any difference, and paid the reconnection fee. Then the cheeky bitch says pay on time next month. As we walked to the car Sopha is muttering UBC mai dee. No argument from me on that one, even if she does use the old name.

Glad things worked out.

You rich basatrd with your flashy iphone!!!

Hi.

Just go to the nearest 7-Eleven and buy another SIM card...... D-TAC from my own experience is pretty much the best network if it comes to GSM. Of course your iPhone has to be unlocked, i don't know if the ones from True are unlocked? Otherwise a cheapo "backup phone" will do, indeed one that can't do anything but make calls, those simple phones thank you with a near eternal battery life (compared to smart phones).

A SIM card can be bought for about 29 Baht (max 49) and is active the moment you make the first call, get a 100 Baht refill with it and have a second number ready all the time. If you go for D-TAC after you had the number for 90 days and/or have used 300 Baht for phone calls you can actually extend it's validity for up to one year without needing to buy further topup cards (it cost 12 Baht for 180 days, max 360 days allowed).

Plus D-TAC have great EDGE coverage, in fact it is the only one of the GSM networks that allows me to go on the internet with here 30 kilometers outside of Chiang Mai

Just switch to AIS

the best network in Thailand IMHO

No.

AIS, frankly, sucks. I am having nothing but trouble calling people who are on pre-paid AIS numbers ("1-2-Call"), i am always getting a message stating "the destination network is busy". The only way to reach an AIS number is from another AIS number.

Also, EDGE wise, AIS' speed is far slower than D-TAC or True.

D-TAC has about the best coverage "in the sticks" (despite AIS advertising otherwise, my boyfriend just had a good laugh the other day when we were in the sticks and AIS had no coverage whatsoever - D-TAC was fine. He was then joking with his mum about that advertisement with the hilltribe people worried they have no coverage and one says "don't worry, we have AIS").

If it has to be GSM i highly recommend D-TAC.

Best regards.....

out of interest, what is AIS/DTAC like for wifi hotspots. are there many of them scattered about?

Hi.

AIS and D-TAC do not maintain WiFi hotspots - they are cellular telephony providers. True maintains WiFi hotspots however they are a major (one of the largest, if not THE largest) internet providers, too, with True Move (their cellular network) only being a "side business".

You can buy True WiFi access without having to use their cellular service, cards are available at True shops and 7-Eleven. Also if you use True for your home internet you get, depending on your promotion/plan, free access to WiFi along with it, again no need to use their cellular service.

Best regards.....
