Chao Lao Beach Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I am not talking about 3G - 4G subscription but all those little wi-fi boxes around the place. I have been told that you can subscribe fr about 70b a month by putting a code into a site for each company. It was suggested that it is still good to have 3G but you can save alot of data allowance by using the wi-fi option. How good is it? Is what I have been told true ? Thanks.

RichCor Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Very true, but ability to use the service depends on 'their' location. Generally the Hotspots can be found around Airports, Shopping Centers, Hospitals, 7/11s, Family Marts, or other places with high foot traffic. When I rented a house in Chiang Khong I didn't know how long I'd be there so Luckily I just put a USB WiFi stick on a couple of long USB extension cables and hung it outside and had 10 mbps unlimited access for ฿99/mo. There are some limitations (as it's not a dedicated circuit, so carrier grade NAT). The account can only be used with one device at a time (locked to the MAC address, need to log out to be able to use the same account with another device). WiFi Hotspot service usually runs ฿ 69 - 107 depending on the Carrier/Provider for the month. Truemove H - Unlimited Wifi! 107B P/m! Fantastic. Started by pilm , 2013-04-14 16:27 -- 52 replies to this topic AIS and DTAC also partners with 3BB for wifi Hotspots (over 60,000 wifi spots nationwide) so if you have a Mobile Phone it's easiest if you sign up through the carrier and let them instantly deduct 25฿/week from your mobile account. AIS only AIS + 3BB DTAC only just 3BB Once you have your 4-digit One-Time-Password delivered via SMS, look for an WiFi SSID of AISwifi, 3BB_WiFi, 3bb_Hotspot or Cyberpoint then enter the subscriber mobile number as username and OTP as password. AISwifi and 3BB_WiFi can be set to autologin. Wifi network provided by Cyberpoint is limited to 1 hour/day. Ugh. gotta love the small print.

dddave Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 You can also buy true WiFi access cards at TRUE coffee shops around Bangkok; about B150/30days. Last year, when i was still carrying a "WiFi only" tablet around, I tried both TRUE and AIS WiFi. At that time, TRUE seemed to have more hot spots and wider coverage in outer neighborhoods. Never tried BB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRimmler Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Do you have to have a TRUE SIM card to use TRUE Wifi and a AIS SIM to use AIS Wifi, etc, or am I able to pay for and sign up for service from both AIS and TRUE Wifi so that I can get access in more locations?
