kikenyoy Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 In the past I've used a cheap Nokia phone and bought 12call cards at 7-11 to top it up. I just bought my first smart phone and I'm overwhelmed with all the choices. Can I get prepaid data cards at 7-11 or is it better/cheaper to sign up for a plan? Some say AIS is good some say get DTAC instead. I'll be using it almost entirely in Pattaya and Bangkok. Is one better than the other? If I get a monthly plan, then how big would I need? My rough guess is I'll spend an hour or less per week on the phone and maybe 10 hours per week on the internet with occasional heavy usage when I'm away from home for a few days. I think I'd prefer a prepaid option if it's as easy as going to 7-11 24 hours/day to fill it up in minutes so I can keep track of my usage. With monthly plans it's really expensive if you go over, right? Thanks to anyone who will take the time to answer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualbiker Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Check out the website of the service provider you prefer. I would advise a volume plan rather than an hour plan. Sent from my XT1032 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muratremix Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 If you want cheap internet for social networking on phone, AIS has weekly unlimited 384 kbit for 69 baht + VAT It should work fine for you. Make sure your AIS plan is not freedom 3g or anything comes with some 30-50mb/week 3g package for 19 baht (automatic). They tend to suck down your money without you know it.

That's actually a pretty good deal .. 384 KB is ok if using apps like TV. Sent from my XT1032 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
