rhinoboy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 HI There, just arrived HKG and my ais 12call sim in my galaxy ace 3 says "not registered on network" mobile data is "on" Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 If you haven't got a data roaming package, turn off mobile data now, when you get it working your balance will vanish in a flash with data charges. Did you enable international roaming before leaving Thailand? Be glad it's not working, rates here http://www.ais.co.th/roaming/en/3g-prepaid/package-rate/1/Asia/107/Hong%20Kong Get a local SIM if you can.

Upnotover Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Turn off mobile data immediately! Unless you have a roaming package already your credit will have gone in seconds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhinoboy Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 No, I only want to check my balance to assure I can recieve a text message but its simply not registering on teh network, treid taking sim out etc restart. wont connect to any network, not even the CSL which is the preferred AIS roaming network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhinoboy Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 i need to use my 12call sim for bank and credit card use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Apparently roaming should be automatically enabled now. Try scanning for service providers and select manually, it appears that only CSL and Hutch will allow international calls / texts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyG Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Before I went to Hong Kong last year I checked with AIS first. I had to get a replacement SIM card from them to be able to use the 'phone abroad. How old is your SIM card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhinoboy Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 recieved is free I'm retty sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 recieved is free I'm retty sure According to my earlier link, yes receiving is free. Sending SMS from HK is 12 Baht, check the AiS site for details of other locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Upnotover Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 what is the cost for received SMS when out of Thailand ? and to send one ? Free to receive, 12 baht to send. Its data that kills, 564 baht per MB unless you buy a package (although I think AIS now auto-disconnects you at 2000 baht). I once got an 8000 baht charge at HKG airport in 30 minutes.

Daniel Ingalls Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 My, oh,My,........what in the world would we do without Mobil phones.......how on earth did people survive 30 years ago?......Get a life, get a camera that just takes pictures, see the attractions, take pictures. Then when you return, you can in person show where you have been. That was the old way of doing things. Try it, you might like it. And the freedom away fro it all!

You may have a point there but I am not certain a camera is going to be much use to the OP and his Bangkok Bank credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
