stament Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 My son needs an internet only SIM for his phone, no need for minutes. I know we can get one prepaid pay as you go or with a fixed monthly rate but I also heard you can buy data only SIMS on Lazada. I wondered which data only SIMS are the best deals out there, does anyone know? Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most (if not all) newish phones are dual sim, so you can keep your old number as well. This is what I've done.

Yes, you can; though usually you have to port your number to the new SIM. So it has to be a different network. Though at one point True were allowing you to simply get a new SIM with the same number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eindhoven Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 The new MNP system requires only one day to activate. The customer dials *151* plus their ID card or passport number. A code is sent and confirms the request was received. Then you take the received details to the new provider and they will do the rest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't laughing now are you? All still have promotions but they are more expensive now. 350 baht for 10 Mbps unlimited is usual.

I want to confirm, if I buy one of this data plans, is unlimited internet without restrictions? I mean, the speed will not be slower when you reach some certain amount of GBs. Is good enough for Netflix? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have more than 250 baht on my card because only use minimal service, if I don't top up they will stop service even having 250 baht on balance, what would be the best way to convert that 250 baht into expanding the validity date of the service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one month. Before that it was one year. Just apply: No need to top up again. You have enough credit for nearly ten years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will apply the codes for you and deduct the credit. Whilst you are communicating, you can ask why the USSD codes aren't working for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, as that is the version limited to 100 GB per month. The one to which I linked, for 1855 baht, offers unlimited data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
