Thai Sim Card 2 Years Old.....

Featured Replies

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?).

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 :o

No, deactivaction after 12 months non-use,

Minutes gone after 90 days, :o

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)
