I'm working upcountry at the moment - For connectivity I'm using a Post Paid True Move 3G Air-card. Signal and speed is good (21mbps advertised) by my usage is capped to 5GB (fair usage policy) after which my connection speed drops to 128 kbps. I've reached this cap after 2 weeks - at 128 kbps I can't receive or send anything. The Fair Usage policy wont reset until the start of the next billing cycle (2 weeks from now).

The best solution was to get an additional Pre-Paid Sim for the Air-card: 899B (+7% VAT) package – which is the same as the initial post paid package. With a 5GB fair usage cap, after which I drop to 128 kbps.

All Fair enough – If I exceed again before 2 weeks I’ll have to get another Sim and package and just rotate the 3 sims through the air-card.

However, with the pre-paid SIM in the aircard when surfing the net I get the warning below:

I’ve had this warning for google and ThaiVisa.com (I’m sure as I surf more I see more)… I never recieved such warnings when surfing the net using the post paid SIM in the Air-card.

Surely others have experienced the same - Has anyone any idea what this is all about ???

True has the only decent signal here so other companies are not an option, but might anyone have any better 3G connection ideas ?

Its the 'charged over your package' for some websites that has me flummoxed...

Data consumption from most webpages will be subtracted from the 899B 30 day prepaid package... Data consumption from other webpages such as a Google Search or ThaiVisa.com is charged on top of the pre-paid package...

I paid 1000 baht Top Up : thus 899B+7% Tax - Total 962 Baht - I have 38 Baht spare !!.. (+ a couple of other bonuses which come with the new SIM)...

It seems very strange to me that True Charge on Top for some websites... I'm wondering why this is...

True does not charge on top for some websites. They are trying to make some websites free to surf, like facebook or something so they can sell packages facebook only.

I think it is a glitch on their side as their programmers suck big time (they always screw up during iPhone online pre-order)

I hope so you are correct. I never received these warnings with the Post Paid SIM, but switched to Pre-Paid today as I'd reached the Fair use Policy limits and my connection speed had been throttled back. I now receve these warnings.

The Google translate of the Thai writing reads:

Access to the Website. 'http://www.thaivisa.com' is charged in addition to the package.

Its the 'charge in addition to the package' part that concerns me as I use gmail and google is one of the websites which True Move appears to charge in addition to the package...

I hope its a glitch.. and as you say it just means all others are completely free... I didn't get any such warning with facebook so it could be as you suggest.

It's a glitch. I talked to them about this very thing a couple months ago. You just have to click the do not advise button to connect sometimes. There is no extra charge if you are on a prepaid package.

You can pay ฿350 for an additional gigabyte of data. The page you're getting is as a result of being subscribed to a social package. It's annoying and won't go away unless you let the social package expire. Even if you click to not advise you every time.

Package could be line, Facebook or other.

I'm also using the Pre Paid True Move 3G an 899,- a month.

Can someone tell me how to check how much data I have left before I reach the 5gb mark?

Can't see that anywhere...
