FWIW:

I usually go to 7/11 and buy more time to top up my mobile.

Yesterday was no exception...pay for the time requested and get a printed

receipt with the code numbers needed to add the additional time to your mobile.

I put the receipt in my pocket, intending to add the time later.

It proved a big mistake....as the weather is hot and I sweat.

The receipt got wet and some of the code numbers disappeared

as the print on the 7/11 recipt is _not_ waterproof. So, it was now

impossible to activate the newly purchased time on my nobile.

I later bought more time at 7/11...but this time input the receipt

codes promptly on my mobile.

Why not just top up "online" at most 7/11 they have a card swiping machine that you type in your mobile number

after telling the cashier what carrier ( DTAC, True, AIS etc ) you use and the amount you want to top up

usually get the confirmation SMS before you even get out the door.

Most convention way is online banking

Or if you can, change to post-paid, they have better deals that way as well ...

I have done this a few times and also lost the slip before putting in the phone. My local 7/11 checks on the computer and then cancels the old one and reissues another for the same amount, no extra charge.

Thank you boonchu...

I returned to 7/11 and they corrected the problem,

I guess that sometimes there is great customer service in Thailand ;-)

And...thanks to the others who provided alternate remedy suggestions.

Live and learn....

Do it online in the store and be done with it. The same thing happened to me years back, now I always do it in store and online OR at the ATM.

good to know.

Well what an amazing and rivitting story that was, I would definitely read again. Glad you got your 'big mistake' rectified.

One could quite easily turn to glue reading some of the stuff on here.

Do you mean sniffing glue ( not very good for you ) or boiled up bones glue ?

I am rubber, you're glue... http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=I%27m%20rubber%20you%27re%20glue
