Free Data Roaming Around Bangkok Now ?

[thairookie]

I just returned from overseas after a 2-month absence. I re-activated my DTAC pre-paid SIM card, and to my utter surprise, I could log on to my Skype and Gmail chat using my cheapo 60-baht SIM card. For a moment I thought I must have piggy-back on some free Wi-Fi in my area. I turned off my Wi-Fi but I could still serve the Net.

So this afternoon, all the way from Central World Plaza to Thonglor I was able to surf the Net.

Now, did I miss some good news when I was away ? Is DTAC giving out free data roaming ?

Can you share any details? Type of SIM, plan, phone, etc.? Were you getting 3G?

Did you have a plan before you left?

AFAIK, DTAC/Happy does not offer free mobile data. They do have a 49 baht daily plan.

What are the replies to:

*101*4#

Without a lot more details my best guess is that you were paying by the minute or Kilo-Byte.

I guess my honeymoon period has just expired. I woke up in the morning to find that my 48 baht remainder had gone south to 0.64 baht. I didn't make any calls the previous day, except for a 40-min Skype.

If you have a dtac internet sim (pre-paid) then they'll deduct 0.25 Baht per minute being online tiill your credit is gone... So your 48 Baht should have given you around 3 hours of internet!

Look om the bright side, you got 40 min of Skype on EDGE speeds most likely.
