luther Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 About 2 days my wife started getting a message everytime she called anyone that said you have to register your sim card before the 31st of July. Most of the discussions on Thai Visa date back to February. Anybody done it recently? Can any 7-11 do it and is there a DTAC at Central Festival?

JLT Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yes, did ours a few days ago, takes a couple of minutes. Don't know if there's a DTAC at Central Festival but there's definitely one at Central Airport Paza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyL Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 And at Kad Suan Kaew. Took just a few minutes a few months ago. They had a couple people on a desk doing nothing but registering Sim cards. Be sure to bring your passport (or Thai I.D. if Thai national) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luther Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 7-11 out in the boonies did in three minutes. Save a trip to the mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Did mine at BigC on Hang Dong road. Reports show 7-11 can do DTAC registration but some may not have a clue. DTAC website mentions registering via VDO call if using Chrome. Don't know what that means though appears you can do it online when I gave it a brief check. - http://www.dtac.co.th/en/prepaid/service/sim-registration.html //edit - Ok, your computer needs a camera to use this option thus the VDO part. It will work on Android running Chrome and your mobile phone/tablet camera but looks like more work than it's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mesquite Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 went to kad sean kaow before and the lady at true said the system to register the sim cards was down and i had until august 15th now I'm beginning to wonder, this being Thailand and all, if the cards really will be unusable if not registered.

Thanks for that update, good to know it works. What do they use the video for? so they can take a snapshot of you next to your open passport to prove it's you that's registering it, details and photo tally etc. having done that they text an activation/proof code by SMS to your DTAC mobile which you relay to the call center agent over the video call and then you're done. all very efficient so kudos to DTAC here.
