tinhead Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 True had a 333b per day promotion for the Vodaphone alliance. Not sure if Cambo is included. Try google. Website is English friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicog Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 All I can say is: Don't do it! Get a local SIM card or use Wifi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 DTAC, TrueMove H and AIS have all the details re: international data roaming on their web-sites. AIS has a lot of regional packages, DTAC has just a few (350 baht/day for 25 MB, and 2,599 baht for 7 days/500 MB), TrueMove H has some unlimited plans. TrueMove H lists METFONE has their partner in Cambodia. http://truemoveh.truecorp.co.th/international_services/roaming_services/all http://truemoveh.truecorp.co.th/international_services/roaming_services/entry/2240 http://www.ais.co.th/roaming/en/index.aspx Make sure to check frequencies and coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samran Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I was just in Cambodia on AIS and had no real intention of using data but needed it at one meeting. Got charged 500 odd baht per mb. Rang them up and got a package from AIS 899 baht for 40mb which lasted all of one day. For cambo best bet is to get a local sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 When roaming, it's good to know how much data is being transferred. Few weeks ago I did a quick check how large some of the front pages of selected medias actually are, including adds. (wget -E -H -k -K -p). 4.2M www.nationmultimedia.com 3.5M www.phuketgazette.net 4.4M www.thephuketnews.com 5.5M www.thaivisa.com 3.7M www.sanook.com 1.4M www.yahoo.com 88K www.google.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Every couple of minutes I was getttng SMS's from AIS saying 'You've hit 500 baht in usage, 1000, baht in usage, 1500 baht in usage, 2000 baht in usage". I turned it off when I got to 2000 baht. The thing was I was relying on wifi my entire time I was there, which worked, until a 15 minute meeting where I had no wifi access. 2000 baht right there checking a few websites for research...

Dork Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Slightly off topic but something to watch out for is what has happened to me a couple of times recently in Vietnam which has similarly ridiculous data roaming charges as Samran mentioned about Cambodia I have a Nokia Lumia 920 with AIS post paid. Data connection is set to on but data roaming is set to off. Everywhere else that works fine. About half an hour after landing in Saigon I noticed that I was receiving emails. I quickly switched off the data connection and left it that way until back in BKK where I switched it on again. A couple of weeks later back in Saigon I forgot about that. Same story but this time it was about an hour before I noticed emails coming in. The first time cost THB800 and the second THB1500. I briefly considered complaining to AIS but then thought again and flagged it. Whose fault is that? AIS, the Viet roaming partner or Nokia? Anyone got any idea?

Anyone got any idea? tough one as I guess I'm supposed to be clever enough to know better. Good thing about VN is that AIS has a 350 baht per day unlimted package which I signed onto after the cambo experience. They actually have it for most countries so I tend to sign up for that package. Still not as good as getting a local SIM, but I've already got 7 or 8 SIMS in my wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
