JamJar Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 DTAC and MybyCAT have them for new SIM. The other two may have them only for SIMs activated before the 1st of March this year. http://www.mybycat.com/th/PrePay.php?package=92_แพ็กเกจเสริมเน็ตไม่จำกัด http://www.dtac.co.th/en/prepaid/products/go-no-limit.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiRebound Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 "a plan" meaning one-year? This seems like what I want, a month-to-month. I'll switch after I exhaust the remaining GB's of data left in my TRUECALL account. It seems b1099 will give me unlimited at 300mbps for my 4G. Anything additional in the charges? Am I inaccurate?

sfokevin Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 This sim will give you a full year of unlimited data at 4Mbps (which is slow but Netflix & YouTube possible)... https://www.lazada.co.th/products/true-net-sim-4g-unlimit-4-mbps-1-4-i261950495-s403287641.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.2.6b226acewypbsh&search=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I have WiFi at home, and there is WiFi in the places I patronise ( Pub-Resto).

Stefanix Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 You can book a "Go NO LIMIT" package on DTAC: https://www.dtac.co.th/en/prepaid/products/go-no-limit.html The data volume is unlimited but the maximum speed is limited, depending on the package. The maximum available speed is 4 Mbit/s and costs 650 THB for 30 days. Should be enough for most uses including video streaming, but except heavy downloads which you might want to do faster. Quote DTAC and MybyCAT have them for new SIM. I think "Go NO LIMIT" can be booked for any prepaid DTAC SIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such as out in the roads. I can then use my iPhone’s built-in hotspot to provide a fairly robust 4G Internet connection to my tablet, so having a decent mobile data plan is high on my priority. I am also a ‘power user’ of Google Maps and although they offer an offline version, I appreciate the improved traffic routing that occurs with a live data connection. We’ve continually tinkered with AIS offerings and change plans periodically. Best if anyone who needs more data connectivity to have a chat with their provider. They have special packages that come and go, or you can tailor exactly what you need with them. Insofar as AIS goes, every package eventually expires or you get texts offering a different plan and pricing. Just go with the flow. Subscribe Now!

ThaiRebound Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Ran into a problem. My TrueCall only gets 2 bars in my poor-wifi hotel. AIS gets 3 bars, but the AIS rep said need a Thai Drivers License, which I don't have. She said a Thai friend could get a SIM for me, but my dear girlfriend has refused to do this. DTAC, I am not sure of the policy or the bars yet. Any suggestions or advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgMech Cowboy Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I've had my phone 20 yrs with AIS and my son changed my data plan to unlimited 2 months ago with just using the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeptic7 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 AIS HAD one. ฿2500/year/4mbps UNLIMITED. Now we have to renew this month and the option is not on the MyAIS app any longer. It was there just a month ago, but gone now. Best to give them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiRebound Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 I can't get an AIS sim without a Thai national or a drivers license. I have a TrueCall sim, and it only gets up to 2 bars where I live, though I need a consistent 8mbps or higher for 6-7 hours daily. Two bars means instability on my video calls, and I am doing those for one 1 hour 6-7x a day, as I stated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLW Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I'm interested in such a package, too.Used to have the MaoMao 450B Net 4Mbps Monthly UL but according to a visit at the AIS customer center this package is discontinued. It was perfect for watching YouTube or Netflix outside and also a good backup for my Internet at home.Now, is it really true that this package is not available and is there an alternative from AIS available? FYI, this package was really unlimited in data use just limited the speed at 4Mbps.Now I've got another package for 350 Baht that I had to top up once already because I've ran out of data and then it's just 64kbps which is totally unusable. I don't need high speed Internet just unlimited data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have neglected to include VAT in your quote. The same may be available for new SIM too. But since I have an old SIM, I cannot confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiRebound Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 NCC, NiCe Call. I went back to my provider, TrueCall, and spoke with an English speaking staff person. I told him about the 2-bars I was getting with my 4G phone connection where I was staying. It was late, so he said to come back tomorrow. He asked me for my domain (hotel's connection), but now I am wondering if he thinks I am only getting 2 bars with the hotel's wifi. Any idea what he is fixing to do? Hmm Added: He also said to bring my passport, a feather, and a candle. No, just a passport, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiRebound Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 Some people are very dismissive of internet speed. With 6 mbps, you are not going to make reliably good video calls, if that's your thing. Some of these plans, one-time payment of 5 baht for 1kbps until the next species overtakes humans, are good for checking email and getting texts only.

Forever. It is designed to stop people getting charged when their data package runs out. But it's good enough for text chat on it's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
