traveler905 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Hi, I bought a 12call (AIS) simcard in BKK upon arrival. I loaded 800 baht to it, and now it's at zero... I bought it on Wednesday.. and been in chiang mai since thursday.. Is there roaming charges with them? anything for incoming? I Thought the agent mentioned it would be 1 baht a minute anywhere... Also they gave me 24 hours of internet, anyone have any idea what that means? how are the hours calculated? I have an iphone and I'm almost finished that as well even though I haven't been browsing for many hours... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrubber Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Where have you been calling??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveler905 Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 Where have you been calling??? Mistakingly called one contact overseas twice for a minute each time (it was in my pocket...) otherwise just local calls and cell phones... Is there roaming if I bought the sim in Bangkok? would incoming ever cost me anything? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpy Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 The iphone is constantly using your data unless you turn that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnyboy Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 any downloaded files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traveler905 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 I'm not so worried about the data, I just want to know before I refill, if I should get a local sim or if there's no difference... basically does 12call have roaming charges, meaning if I bought it in Bangkok, do they charge a premium for using it outside of bangkok or for receiving calls? Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSabai Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 When I first bought my iPhone I had that problem. Was eating up my phone cards like crazy. Had to shut off all push notifications for email, etc. if out of a wi-fi area, as it would automatically use EDGE from 1-2-Call. No other charges, roaming or otherwise, for anywhere in Thailand as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimpy Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Unless you have a data plan, your iphone will quickly use up your credit unless you turn off data use (push, email, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebeau69 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 AIS 1 2 Call has never been able to explain how are the hours calculated, how they are charging the customer... I went 2 or 3 times to CM office to get explanations why my credit was disapearing very quickly I shut off all push notifications, shut off all why I could Even so, credit was going away... I was told they could not check on their computer how I was charged I was told that my contract " Internet Lover" was cancelled when it was not I was still charged for it In fact, they do not have a proper idea They just keep saying: " It is a problem with iPhone" Probably, being the only provider not being able to secure a deal with Apple, AIS relieves their frustrations on customers AIS sucks, "honest mistake"!!!, they say... I am using now True to my complete satisfaction True offers a promotion with unlimited data: really worth Check on their Website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iSabai Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Anybody know if you are able to keep your present phone number after changing to a different service. For example, I now have AIS, if I went to a True account could I retain my same phone number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lis41 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 If the little 'E' symbol is appearing at the top of your screen, you're being charged for it when using 12call. you can either go into your settings and ditch your internet connection or you can sign up for a monthly plan with 12call. I signed up for the 2g unlimited (I didn't get the 3g because - if i remember correctly - either unlimited was way too much and at that point I was unsure how much internet I was actually using. You can choose different options with the 3g, all depending on usage). I got the 2g unlimited option. the first month costs close to 1000 baht but after that, if you top up in time (they notify you via text) the following months are 650 baht. You should be able to sign up and work it out at any phone shop. Pretty sure that if you switch carriers, you have to change your number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I now have AIS, if I went to a True account could I retain my same phone number? Easy answer no, Numbers are set to each provider, changing provider means changing number.

Lizard2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I had problems at first with notifications. Phone was constantly ringing and flattening my battery. Got it all sorted and now credit all the time. All i got to do now is use it all up. That is going to be the hardest thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infernalman7 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Solution is simple, ask them for a 3G package and then they will switch your data from minutes-based to MB-based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
