Thai Sim Card 2 Years Old.....

[paulnuek]

I was using a 1-2-Call card a couple of years ago.

The pay as you go type.

Will it still work or will I have to buy a new card/new number?

No it won't and yes you will.

Don't get too twisted about it.

New DTAC is 199baht, new 1-2Call is 299 (but why give the money to Toxin?).

Ive heard from another forum that a passport has to be shown.....

Seems like they are getting strict......

No passport required as of 4 weeks ago when I bought 1-2-Call SIM at MBK.

No questions asked.

Better register it Mr. Dave - shall be de-activating non-registered sims as 1 Jan 2006.

[paulnuek]

So what is the reason for registering the sims?

Is it another type of tax for farangs?

Or is it another tax for all?

Sounds like I live in the UK and used to getting taxed on everything

No, deactivaction after 12 months non-use,

Minutes gone after 90 days,

There is no charge as far as I know.

Perhaps 1 baht for a photocopy of your passport.

Dunno - never actually looked to see if you can buy one at the airport - always arrived too late when everything is shut.

Not sure, but maybe check out the 7-Eleven there? (@ underground floor)
