David48 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Kenny ... up to you. Mate, if you think that Vodaphone has a network in Thailand ... up to you. They have an agreement with a local Thai carrier. In Thailand it's TRUE Mate, if you don't know what a phone card is ... up to you. As you said you have 'travelled the world many times'. Instead of blaming others, instead of getting angry, work on solutions, not on the problem. 'We' ... yes, I probably use the term ... but I use it in a positive way. There are many Aussies who live, or have spent a long time in Thailand and we try an help each other. What happens when a thread is written and people pile in and try and help. Have a read of this ... penned only yesterday ... musings-of-an-expat-returned-to-australia No-one is trying to lecture you ... I was, conversely, trying to help. When you are stuck in a foreign country and there seems no-one around to help, 'we' are always here. Up to you how that relationship progresses. You can blast away again ... I'll let you have the last word. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny202 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 Well I just got an email from Vodafone saying they only have on partner carrier in Thailand. DTAC. You are posting information that is WRONG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny202 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 And a lecture.....or a statement from your mother would normally start with something like... Kenny, Kenny, Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny202 Posted December 5, 2014 Author Share Posted December 5, 2014 And people who don't have a logical response or argument in fact always come back with "up to you". It's an easy out. I didn't ask for your help nor do I want it in the future. I'd be sitting here trying to connect to TRUE move all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetongue Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 On my phone (dual sim) you can manually select operator, it searches all the towers and gives you a list of options. On the Australian Sim (Telstra) if you choose AIS it wont connect, but if you choose DTAC it connects but comes up on the phone as TRUE. So you are both probably right. I do all my internet banking dealing with 3 institutions in Australia and get my OTP to the Australian Sim no worries. Just with the Commonwealth Netbank make sure you send $A as if you choose to send baht you get their, much worse, exchange rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetongue Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Also you can reverse charge the Commonwealth Bank for a phone call, I don't have the number handy but I have done it. Google has I think it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David48 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) ... but if you choose DTAC it connects but comes up on the phone as TRUE. ... BT ... great post ... the OP is too pig ignorant to accept any advice from the old hands. Sadly this happens with men in their 60's, who have recently retired. So, despite the OP stating that ... Well I just got an email from Vodafone saying they only have on partner carrier in Thailand. DTAC. You are posting information that is WRONG Some people just can't be helped ... OP (Kenny) ... from Vodaphones own website ... BTW ... yes, I am listening to FatBoySlim ... Edited December 5, 2014 by David48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert24 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 personally I suggest to transfer your money now and buy your pick up now. there's a possibility the Aussie$ may fall further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David48 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 In my 60's hahaha. How on earth did you "old hand" assume that? :-) Warmest apologies ... a man in his 50's ... and early 50's at that. Always happy to admit if I'm wrong. Good luck with it all. Enjoy Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
