Popular Post orang37 Posted March 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2021 Once again found I could not call out on my (old, not smart) Samsung: balance expired. This happened last year; then (at Airport Plaza DTAC), I was able ... by raising a wee bit o' hell ... to get the balance re-credited. English-speaking staff at Airport Plaza DTAC now tell me 2g is disabled, and, I must get a newer phone. I can receive Sms' and incoming calls. Can't dial call center #1678 Something smells like durian, here. your thoughts ? 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProbPossConf Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) My Samsung smart phone just received a new Sim card that supports 4G/5G. Did you ask Dtac whether a new Sim card will be accepted and functional in your old phone?

Popular Post KhunBENQ Posted March 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) A phone that does not 3G at least: to the bin or museum. You will not even get a Baht at a pawn shop. 2G is definitely off. Edited March 29, 2021 by KhunBENQ 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Fairfield Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 The NBTC wanted to shut down 2G in Oct 2019, if memory serves. But it got a reprieve, not sure where that's up to now but it's days are numbered. Follow the advice and upgrade your phone. Lots of affordable 4G and even some 5G phones available now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orang37 Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share Posted March 30, 2021 Thanks for the entertainment, friends ... ???? The facts are: 1. the phone connects to the DTAC network 2. it receives SmS messages and voice calls 3. if I dial out, the error message is credit expired ... the account has 3100 baht credit. This happened last year; then (at Airport Plaza DTAC), I was able ... by raising a wee bit o' hell ... to get the balance re-credited.

On topic responses, please When DTAC stopped serving the old G phones they sent me a notice and asked me to come in and pick up a new free phone that worked with their new higher Gs which I did. Why didn't you get a new free phone from them? Did you not read the text messages they sent to you? Might not be too late unless the hell you raised is remembered. 3100 Baht credit on a phone? Were you using it as a bank account? 18 hours ago, orang37 said: then why can i receive sms and voice calls ? They are being nice. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am presuming this is a pre paid sim card. What is the validity/expiry date of the SIM. Presumably you are aware that call credit and validity of the sim do not move in tandem?
