Registration requires my thai telephone number, and from there they will send me a confirmation code, which i cannot receive because i don't have my thai sim card. Alike i cannot access my thai bank online or make transactions because my thai phone is offline..I surely wouldn't register with my USA telephone number ( ha ha ha) I need to register before i can pay anything, so problem not solved... Am i missing something? Yes its called planning and preperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm from Yorkshire too and you can go to the next town and words will be different. One example is, most people call two slices of potato with fish in the middle, a fish cake, or just a cake, in Keighley we call them scones?

There is English and you don't have be owner to pay and check monthly usage. This mostly worked great for me until December 2023. Now both MEA and CounterServicePay tell me that at least as of 2024, only Thai credit cards can be used to pay MEA bills. 😥 TrueWallet also doesn't allow credit card as payment source. Is anyone else still able to pay MEA somehow with a foreign credit card? Or if anyone finds any other way to pay MEA bills with foreign credit cards please let me know! 🙏 Edited February 28 by landosmiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
