Keeping Ais Number With Apple Iphone 4?

[motocrosser]

Is it possible to get a new micro sim for a i phone 4 and keep my phone number from ais?

[BigJohnnyBKK]

When I first came here fourteen years ago AIS actually let me have the same number on multiple SIMs but that stopped about twelve years ago.

As long as AIS is your intended provider - you might need to get your iPhone unlocked - then shouldn't be a problem.

In theory you can even transfer your number from one carrier to another but I haven't met anyone who's actually done it, and most likely only with post-paid (billed) numbers, not pre-paid where you top up at 7-11.

I believe the OP already has an AIS Sim and want to get a micro Sim with the same number. I think it should be fine if it's not a prepaid, why don't give them a call?

Let's try this over in the communications forum. I'm also interested in the same. I did see some YouTube videos that show how you can cut your SIM and make it into a micro SIM. There's even a specialized tool available to do this.

Anybody know about this?

AIS will swap your current SIM for a microsim or a nanosim, no charge, prepaid or postpaid. Go to any AIS shop.

If you have had it on contract more than 6mths I believe voda give you the unlock code for free. Takes about 2 weeks.

The op question being answered I'll comment on moving your number from carrier to carrier. I was with AIS and moved my number over to True. I needed to go to an AIS office not a contractor office. I presented my passport and and signed for my number. no questions asked. I waited 2 weeks and then went to True (main office again). I told True what I wanted they checked in the data base and verified that my number was registered they gave me a new sim card and told me about 10 days and I would get a message to swap sims. About 8 days passed and AIS contacted me to ask why and I told them my reason. No problem. Two more days passed and received message to swap sims. Simple. Cost 100 baht.

Thanks, one missing detail.

Were either account pre-paid, or both post-paid (billed)?

DTAC and AIS, not sure about TrueMove (H) have both multi-SIM: one number, up to five SIMs and multi-number: up to five numbers with one single SIM services available. These may only be available now as post-paid.

All service providers participate in the MNP process as it is more or less government/agency mandated. You can port out/in any post-paid or pre-paid number, with some reasonable guidelines (service for 90 days, account in good standing, registered).

Not sure I understand the OPs' situation exactly but sort of think maybe they have a standard SIM prepaid/post-paid with One-2-Call/AIS and need a micro-SIM for an iPhone 4. You can exchange the SIM at any AIS affiliated retail outlet, but you should be prepared to prove the SIM is yours so bring a Passport, or other suitable ID. If your SIM is not registered they may ask about your recent top-up history to verify ownership.
