Guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 check this one from AIS: http://www.ais900.com/e/public/ir/v_faq4.shtml You can rent local GSM phone. Check the same site, ok ask your service provider if they have partners in BKK.

Crash999 Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 I just checked the prices at MBK (4th floor). If you want the latest promotion from AIS then it'll cost you around 5000 baht. I went with a Thai and he got it, so I'm not getting the farang surcharge. That 1200 baht price sounds like the cost of a second number/card for an existing account. Cheers!

Mekong Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Crash999. 1200 THB is what my sister-in-law paid about 3 weeks ago. I replaced my mobile, but kept my SIM, and sold her my old phone. She went to AIS office Bang Na got the latest promotion (P2):- 500 THB/Month Service charge 250 THB/Month for up to 1000 THB of calls a month Total 750 THB / Month. This is for a 36 Month contract. Maybe you got some other promotion [ June 02, 2001: Message edited by: Mekong ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash999 Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Mekong, I think we're talking about two different issues: 1) Does this guy have a sim card yet? Sounds like he has a phone and no card. He needs to buy a sim card and no phone. The way the MBK stores get around this is by selling him (on paper only) a cheap old registered phone that already has a sim card. He then uses the old sim in his new (fixed) phone and *presto* he is legit. He will still need a promotion, of course, but this comes with the 5000 baht. 2) If he already has a SIM and is just looking to upgrade his promotion then he will have a number of options. My Thai friend paid for the best one which was 5000 baht for 500 a month service charge and then something like 750 baht a month for 3000 baht's worth of calls for the next 3 years. I'm also going to upgrade my promotion as I make over my current promotion's amount of phone calls per month and, as such, I'd probably break-even within 2-3 months on a new promotion. Cheers!
