It really depends on the exact location. In the Amphur Muang (City of Phrae), DTAC and TrueMove H work fine. In the smaller districts TrueMove H is probably a better solution. I spend some time in Long, and TrueMove H is fine, but as you are no doubt aware, it is fairly hilly there so I've seen a lot of dead spots, except if you are on AIS (GSM900, no 3G in those remote-ish areas).

I always suggest talking to neighbors to see what they are using - I guarantee they'll know better than anyone here.

CAT (my 3G) is everywhere, I mean <deleted>' everywhere. I'm writing you from the damn sticks of Isaan and I've ridden my motorbike all over this godforsaken country and it is everywhere, I mean <deleted>' everywhere. Good speeds to be had all around.

No. Handsets have the stupid function cellID So, if your nice cellphone company is telling you 4G, and you get 360kB/s transfer.....That does not match 4G speeds.Fake. But what do i know,i only build systems like that.

Just as an FYI, TrueMove H is a reseller of CAT's 850 MHz 3G, so while CAT may now have 14,000 base-stations, and TrueMove H resells their 3G service on at least 11,000 of those. It may be easier to deal with TrueMove H than CAT, in that TrueMove H offers quite a few pre-paid SIMs/plans/promotions which are widely available.

TOT also have3G/2100 MHz deployed in/around Phrae.

AIS/2100 MHz 3G coverage is also expanded throughout Phrae.

Again, talk with neighbors. I might try TrueMove H and AIS/2100 MHz SIMs to experiment.
