Best Mobile/ Internet Operator For Phones?

[darraghg06]

Hi,

I'm coming to Thailand on Friday and was just wondering what's the best company to use when buying a sim card. I will need the internet on my phone as I don't have a laptop so this is probably the most important thing. In Ireland i'm on top up my phone by 20 euro a month and have free unlimited internet usage and free sms to any numbers. Is there anything like this available in Thailand? And most of my time will be spent in and around Chiang Mai if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance!

If the published specs I looked at first are accurate http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_s5690_galaxy_xcover-4091.php

then your phone supports 900/2100 MHz 3G so assuming you require higher speed mobile data (3G) the best local pre-paid provider for you might be One-2-Call.

See links above for more details.

How about the hdspa coverage in Thailand?

When you have a data flat I am using voice over ip apps on iPhone 5 euro month for 80 h to most land line in Europe and 10€ worldwide also Thai mobile include over 60h SMS I can send free to every country!

TrueMove no longer offers 3G, you would have to port to TrueMove H if you want 3G, or get a new SIM from TrueMove H. TrueMove H seems to have a fair-use speed-limit of 128 Kbps once one reaches their threshold.
