JesseFrank Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Where can I buy a TOT and a CAT 3G sim for test purposes other than at the respective offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) TOT have MVNOs like iMobile and TuneTalk, but you should be able to find a TOT 3G SIM languishing on the shelves of just about any shop (7/11, mobile, etc.) which sells SIMs. For CAT just get a TrueMove H SIM. TrueMove H is (essentially) an MVNO for CAT's 850 MHz 3G service. My by CAT SIMs will be harder to source, but maybe just dredge a larger mall's phone counters? You may find more detail on Google or Facebook? http://www.mybycat.com/shop.php?id=34 TOT is 2100 MHz 3G, while CAT/TrueMove H is 850 MHz 3G.

JesseFrank Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Is it correct that one of both has a real unlimited plan ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) The websites would have the current/latest promos. Last I heard: TOT Heavy/Perfect Storm, post-paid no FuP speed limit but max. speed at all times is 1-Heavy/ 2 Mbps-Perfect. My by CAT has a FuP of 384 Kbps once you get to your cap which may be 4 GB? Not sure where you are or what your requirements are but you could also look at products/services like AIS AirNET, 3BB Wireless and TOT Wi-NET.

The my cat website doesn't show the promotions in the English version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomatopo Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 What I had in mind with real unlimited was uncapped. Not sure that is possible with except by using fixed-line (DSL, DOCSIS, FTTx) or wireless broadband like previously mentioned services: AIS AirNet, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I could ask the companies, but my experience is that that info is unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
build6 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The tot website has no English to speak of. How does the tot prepaid validity work? Is it also 30 days per top up? Is there a pay-to-extend option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be surprised if they couldn't answer your availability questions? We've done a few AIS AirNET installs, and the service is pretty decent.

khman Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Hi I use Perfect Storm (no FUP but max 2mbits/sec). For now until I suspend. Ok it is unlimited in volume... BUT quality of connexion is most of the time not good (for technical details : latency/loss of packets. They also seem to use a "transparent proxy" which 1 time out of 10 when you surf, open you an error page instead of the website you intended to visit. When you reload it's OK.... annoying... I am astonished only a few people complaining about this...) So much less good than the others but cheap if you use 10, 20, 50GB... I hope they will improve.

The my cat website doesn't show the promotions in the English version. I have a myCAT account since about 2 years, I estimate. For 590 Baht + VAT I get 4GB and 384 KB fair usage once the 4GB are used up. I use it as my main Internet now, since there is no ADSL anywhere in or near my village out in the sticks (northern Surin province). I use it with a D-Link aircard. I just checked my speed. This is what I get around 03:00 in the morning. Not too much, but surely enough to function. I'm a day trader in the Stock Exchange of Thailand. So, in order to make money, I do need constant Internet during working days. As backup (fai dap or on the move) I have a Galaxy Note 8 (suberb!!) with a True-H account. Also 384KB fair usage after my 5 GB are up. There is no such thing as an uncapped 3G service in Thailand. Edited July 7, 2014 by Dario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samui4me Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Thanks for the feedback. Hope you can make some on SET ! For me TOT perfect storm=not capped to volume, but capped to 2Mbits/sec, which is quite enough. But it does not work well - 2Mbits like you Dtac 3G=wonderful, but limited in volume (but 6, 8Mbits/sec possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
