soisanuk Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I just registered mine at Big C South - on 2nd floor, there is a counter for Telewiz (AIS 1 2 Call), DTAC, and True. All I needed was telephone and passport at Telewiz - lady took my phone dialed a number entered information from passport and when finished a text message back to my phone from AIS said it was registered.

Asiantravel Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) we went through this fiasco 10 years ago. That's when I registered mine the first time and now when I press *151# I get a message saying my phone is already registered to passport number L965xxxxxx ........... except that passport expired 8 years ago! The service provider told me it doesn't make any difference Edited July 30, 2015 by Asiantravel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 DTAC has offices at Central, Big C and Tesco. I went to Central, got very quick and efficient help, then saw to either getting those sms ads in English or cut out altogether .... now just get from DTAC. I think 7-11s a bit hit or miss. Friend reported trying, and was proud of self whilst couple other farangs popped a gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockhound Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I stood in the queue for 5 mins in Tukcom before I noticed that one of the little shops there would do it for you for 50 baht without having to waste an hour in the queue. Didn't need any documents - just the phone number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirocco Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Hello rockhound It is astonishing that your passport has not been asked. to register, One must have the number of your passport returned with the employee's phone in a service. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony5 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 DTAC at Big C Extra on Pattaya klang. Took me 5 mins and no ID required. What's the point of registering if your ID details aren't linked to the number? Anyway I went with my son's phone to the same Dtac booth and his ID card details were entered on the PC.

Especially for a foreigner the address is not important, as in most cases it isn't a permanent address anyway, but his passport details will identify him wherever he is in the world.

sawaz455 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Good morning - just for your information. On the 6th February this year I registered my 2 SIMS @ AIS in Central Plaza in Patts. Yesterday after reading some of the posts here I decided to check my phones using *151# so imagine my surprise when I discovered that both SIM's were not registered. The message on the phones were in Thai and I had to get a Thai person to read the message out to me, but the message was clear - not registered. This morning at my local 7/11 said that they couldn't register them (they could only register Thai ID cards) and I had to go to Central Plaza to register them (again). It is worth while if you want to keep your existing phone numbers to check - I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The service provider told me it doesn't make any difference Your current passport is tied in with all the information from the expired passport when you renewed it. Are you sure that's correct because when I asked the phone company representative whether their records should be updated with my new passport number she said for that I need to bring my old passport and new passport. Except I didn't hang onto the old passport eight years ago! (Why would I ?) the main thing is she assured me my SIM cardwould not be cancelled even with an old passport number. I said let's just leave things as they are ( i.e let sleeping dogs lie ) and TIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
