stravers Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I bought a SIM at an AIS branch which required my passport. Does the same apply to 7-11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theguyfromanotherforum Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 7 will register you if they are nice enough. So, yes, you need a passport otherwise they'll sell you a sim that won't be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinediscoking Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I happened to ask the clerk last night at 7 11 where I frequent, she said they only sell sim's to thai's now. Sad they enter the thai id number into the register which is sent to the telcom, but can't do that with passport numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYGuy816 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Yes, I believe a passport is generally required when purchasing a SIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oink Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Positive ID is required. That way immigration can track you 24/7 (unless you don't carry your phone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 The only reason positive ID was made law to buy a sim was to lessen the chances of combining with a cheap phone to detonate a bomb by remote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayD Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I bought a 12Call 4G sim for my tablet a few months ago from a phone shop no id required. "Do I need to register it?" "No, that's all finished now." Works fine, as you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
