Cheapest Data Plan (Mobile Internet) Available In Thailand ?

[frenchfarangjomtien]

Hi,,

Can you help me to compare data plans available in Thailand ?

If you buy an iPhone or better a HTC Desire or Nexus one what is the cheapest way to use internet and email ?

Is there any unlimited data plan available ?

If you have any link to compare AIS, 12CCALL, and TRUE, or any other carrier in Thailand it would help.

Thank you so much.

Unlimited data would be really nice. Last I was in Thailand, I used DTAC/Happy and they charged data by the minute instead of by the byte. Unfortunately, the Nexus One likes to do lots of small polling operations. When I went to bed for 8 hours it seemed to use 5 hours of data time. So I was forced to disable data when I didn't really want it to be charged.

I have found this for TRUE, it seems that they have an unlimited EDGE GPRS 3G, but i don't know if you can get it without buying an iphone ?

Dtac does have unlimited data. You have to sign up for a plan, otherwise you get charged by the minute and it is expensive. Unlimited edge 999 baht, 140 hours 399 baht, etc. Edge service was pretty decent and good enough for browsing when I used to use it.

12 call also has an unlimited data plan, both 12call and dtac happy have unlimited blackberry plans as well (650 baht a month for 12call).

suggest you try calling them to get the exact price.

12call: 1175

dtac happy: 1678

One-2-Call has an unlimited data plan, 999 THB/month same as DTAC. If you have enough balance then you can enroll automatically: *138*0338# SEND.

If you are on a different plan, say 100 hours per month for 350 THB (7% VAT is additional) then you can check your usage with *139# SEND.

It doesn't look like TrueMove has an unlimited data plan, independent of their iPhone packages, but they do have an unlimited daily plan for 39 THB/day (the linked chart is obviously incorrect).

If I have a 'regular' DTAC sim from 7-11 can i get one of these packages/internet access in general or do I need a special 'internet sim' to get data?

Yeap the regular DTAC sim from 7-11 works just fine, that's what I used. Just call the call center number on the page

You can just buy the cheapest, SIMPLE SIM for 49 baht.
