Nice surprise from DTAC

[Neeranam]

Found out if you dial the following number, *234*9#,

DTAC will offer you some cash. Well I think it is cash, depending on how long you've had their service.

I get the message - I have had the number for 12 years 10 months. Get device discount 1,550 baht.

[Neeranam]

BTW, I'll use the money to buy my 11 year old daughter a phone(from SAnta) - can anyone recommend a good one for under 3000 baht? She already has a Ipad(no camera) and laptop but wants something to take to school and let me know when it's time to pick them up etc.

I have a Samsung Mega and my wife a Samsung Galaxy so keeping with Samsung is probably wise.

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Young as a spare, very impressed considering the price, it runs jelly bean 4.1.2 and has no problems running my usual apps. It's a little over your price range at bt3850, but worth a thought.

Pretty certain the amount refers to a discount on a phone you buy from dtac only.

The mrs was on about it the otherday.

She been with dtac for around 8 years and they offered an amazing 790thb discount

I thought that might be but I am buying a phone anyway so might be good.

Thanks Tots! It doesn't have a front facing camera does it?

Tried it, DTaC shops won't give a discount on any phone you would want to own.

"home brand" only.

Typical marketing hype then i guess.

Some spark came up with the idea to inflate the prices of their home brand phones then tell all their customers we want to give you a special discount.

If they really wanted to give something why not just reduce your next bill or send out some pay as go cards. ?

That said the free ticket for the cinema when you buy one is great and a genuine saving.

That's not their home brand, and not included.

The stuff they discount is called Trinet Mousey, Joey, Cheetah, Lion.

No, unfortunately not. No flash on the camera also which means low light shots are poor quality, daylight pics look fine though.

How is it (worth it?) and how much did you put down/contract?

[Neeranam]

I bought a Galaxy Neo from the DTAC shop this afternoon. The price was 2900 baht but with my discount for being a DTAC user, I got it for 1300 baht. They were out of Galaxy Youngs.

Thx for the update. Nice to know it a genuine offer

[Langsuan Man]

Not trying to hijack the thread but is AIS making any similar offers ?
