Orangutan Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hello, I am planning on buying an iPhone 4S from the Apple Store Thailand. Once the iPhone arrives to me here in Bangkok, what options do I have for service. Can I use my old sim (TOT) card that I have had for nine years, do I just pop it in, and start calling? Any help/information is appreciated. Thanks, -O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigold Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Try shop comparisons at Fortune Town at Rama 9. All the phone services are there, so you can get a idea on what would work best for you. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileplur Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 No, you can't just pop your old sim in. The iPhone takes a micro-sim. You have the option of using a blade and cutting your sim to the appropriate size, or exchanging your old sim for a micro-sim. The directions for cutting a normal sim to micro size are on various youtube videos and websites. The iPhone is special. It's always connected to the internet unless you tell it otherwise. You will need a data plan that can support this. Personally, I use the 839 baht option from AIS. It includes 500 minutes of talk time to any network, 300 SMS messages, 50 MMS messages, and unlimited internet. 3G is capped at 3 gigabites. After that, you are stuck with Edge until the following billing cycle. I bought my iPhone 4s last weekend at Siam Paragon. Previously, I had an iPhone 3gs with the same package. Unfortunately, the phone was sacrificed to the taxi gods. I am finding out very quickly that this package may be too much for my needs. Features like iMessage (free SMS/MMS) to other iOS5 users and Viber (free calls worldwide) mean that my usage is far less than it used to be. Choose wisely! I selected AIS because I have always had the best coverage nationwide with them. Plans are about the same. D-Tac seems to be a bit light on their package. True has horrible customer service. I've never had a problem with AIS. Good Luck! By the way, the phone is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileplur Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 smileplur many thanks for the information, it is just what I needed to know. -O Good luck with the phone. It is leaps and bounds above any other phone I have ever used. After a week playing with it, I am still amazed by what it can do! It is really nothing short of amazing. For the record, I hate Mac/Apple computers. I am a dedicated PC fan, but this phone is in a league all by itself. Samsung Galaxy S III cannot even compare.
