Oh yes, AIS....

I have to resort to call her land line which i dont know if she has to pay for receiving calls..And their land line automatically hangs up after fifteen minutes..

A trick for you guys, no signal doesn't always mean there is no signal. Do a quick check by doing a manual network scan and see what comes up. If your network is there turn the phone off, pull out the battery for a few seconds, put it all back together, turn it on and see if you get an error message.

I was in BKK a few weeks back when my 1-2call service stopped. Firstly for a few hours one afternoon and then for a few days from Sunday 4th thru to Tuesday 6th June. When I did what I suggested above I got a "SIM card registration failed" error, not just a loss of signal. Called AIS and found out it was a problem with the server that handles my phone prefix, 0782xxxx, apparently not an uncomming thing. Hope now Singtel have their hands on AIS they fix it up, pretty sad state of affairs for a company that has such a large market share.

Never seen a handphone like that one, where did ya get it at MBK?

It makes me laugh how we can have so many different words for the same thing. Handphone seems popular in the UK and Asia, cell phone in the US and in Australia we just call it a mobile. Tt took me a while to work out what a HP second was in Jakarta then it dawned on me when I put the grey matter into gear.

What are the first 3 digits of the affected numbers ?

Mine 079 XXX XXX is working perfectly.

Generally you will find number ranges are affected, unless its a Radio base station, then it would be a specific area.

A quick test to see if you can receive an SMS message.

It is a good point to turn off your phone for a minute or two, as the location, roaming profile etc will be updated from the network.

People actually call cell phones 'Hand phones' ?

I have never heard this term before. Seems very odd to me. Unless you are using bluetooth then ALL phones are operated with your hand, so why call only mobiles handphones? Do you hold your home phone with your feet?

Always just been called a mobile to me, never called one a cell phone or a hand phone.

I've been having trouble with AIS one to talk for about a week. Whenever I try to make a call the screen flashes up 'network busy'. It normally takes 4-5 redials before I manage to get through.

I'm having the same kind of problem too. i'm on orange and live right next to a transmitter.
