Mobile Phone subscriptions

[Joe Doe]

Hi

 

Do you known where its the easiest to get a local (Thai) prepayed phone subscription with data enabled. I have heard that you can even get then in the airport upon arrival but have not noticed any place. I was planning to use my phone and internet over 3G.

Second that. Happy is from DTAC.and they have a store a block to the right after you go through customs, I always get my SIM from there, its data enabled, costs 80B (as far as I can remember), and a 200B top up, which you can get at any 7-11 gets my through my 2 week vacation.

DTAC is only 399B for 1 month unlimited data, but 1gb speed. And buy the 49B sim card to put it on. That is the cheapest and best deal.

All of the major carriers are represented with kiosks immediately outside of the customs area.

[phuketrichard]

I use TRUE, about 100 m after custom check on the left site. They do not charge for the SIM card and set up

easy top up in every 7eleven

I have always used AIS. I buy 300baht worth of data off the girl in the Kiosk in the airport and it usually does me 2 to 3 weeks. Cant remember how much the sim is. Always gets her to reactivate my old sim.

What's the cheapest smartphone going for outside of customs? I wanna buy a cheap phone that I can access the internet with besides calls/texts. I'd like to access this forum from my hotel room lol. I will only be there for 2 weeks. I don't wanna bring my iphone.
