Well that would be nice. For each trip I have in the phone the sim card of the country I am leaving and the country I am travelling to. Avoids the fiddling around at the destination airport or on the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

returnee222 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 It rarely works at BKK so no hope for the other airports especially if they sourced the implementation it to one of the teclos, or still use the government green logo free internet portal which errors on signup, although I think it might of worked one day in 2013, but thankfully no one in the signing or meeting of understanding will have to use it. When I passed through the airport the other day CAT Telecom was promoting upto 6mbit blazing fast internet ???? above their relatively new free phone charging stations, it just need a clock with date rewind back 10 years to fit the picture.. .

When I arrive HKG just flip from eg sim2 (Thai) to sim1 (HKG). If I was flying BKK-HKG-LHR, then change sim2 from Thai to UK, but at my leisure. The main point being no need to mess around with changing sim cards immediately on landing. Not a terrible thing to have to do, but dual sim a boon for regular travellers.

If that is a dumb phone then I would use 2 phones, but the extra 600+ baht for a second phone might be an added expense too far for some guys.

For one thing, I don't always remember which password I am currently using. And secondly, I don't really want to share my login info or other account info with strangers in the government, just to get a little wifi.
