Thanks for any info I would say the best option is to use your existing mobile (you can get it unlocked if need be) and just buy a prepaid sim card when in Thailand. totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though come to think of it I have an old (3-4 years) handset from Europe knocking around. Would that be likely to work in Thailand? And would there any problems with temporary visitors getting hold of sim cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pop along to any mobile phone shop (or 7-11) and you can buy a sim totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nullx8 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Mobile rentals (specialy the ones at the airport) are VERY VERY Expensive. better buy a second hand mobile (if its not need any fancy functionalitys) you can get it from 500 baht up ... the prepaidcard you can get for about 300 baht .. and everything is set ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
