alansiporin Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Where can an AiS SIM card be registered in Phuket? Preferably not at the AIS office in Phukettown. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 "Existing prepaid customers can now register at modern trade shops and department stores including Tesco Lotus and Big C. New prepaid customers can register their numbers at 7-Eleven convenience stores." http://www.thephuketnews.com/nbtc-to-launch-final-registration-campaign-51897.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alansiporin Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Thanks for info. Not sure what a modern shop is. Do you think registration can be done at the Tesco Lotus on Chao Fa West in Chalong? Or only at the large Tesco and Big C stores in Phukettown?

dotpoom Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yes I did. At AIS shop in Lotus Thalang complex. Easy Peasy Bring your passport or driving licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Be careful with your SIM cards and try to never lose them. It's now law if you lose your SIM card you have to go to the police station and make a police report and bring it to AIS if you want them to replace the lost card. What a f@#king hassle.

keestha Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 If you live in Thailand permanently, it is better to have a non prepaid SIM anyway. Suits me perfectly to get billed by the month, can pay between the 15th and the 29th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits me perfectly to get billed by the month, can pay between the 15th and the 29th.Why is that better? I have 2 prepaid, changed for 1 of those from subscription about 6 years ago, and am perfectly happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siam2007 Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 Wondering about the enforcement of this rule, what would the consequences be if you fail to register an old SIM card? I too have an old prepaid SIM that I have not registered yet and will just wait and see. But true is that if you buy a new SIM, you cannot activate it until you have registered it. or you ask someone on the streets to do it for you for 100 Baht ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
