Guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 same-same...toss a coin and pick that one. Both seem to have good coverage in the larger cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooNoi Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Both will work in Pattaya just fine. The problem with DTAC is when you go out into the countryside, where their coverage is totally crap, compared to AIS who's coverage is very good. Something to do with Thaksin owning AIS perhaps???

Guest Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Thanks for the reply. Yes, I know the SIM card option- but is not possible as the caller cannot dial an international number to get to me. It is only for one day for roughly 15 min (the important call). As much as I loath to support the mega-rich Thaksin, sounds like AIS may be the safer bet. cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 It may be worth mentioning that while in Pattaya speaking to a friend who was also in Pattaya using AIS/One2Call, his signal kept cutting out whilst mine had a full signal. This was not a one off occurrence. Though, of course, there are no guarantees with any one the networks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While your remark doesn't make any sense, it would help if you explained up front what ALL your requirements were, instead of getting us to waste time trying to help you, only to find out there was some hidden reason why our advice was no good to you. It also sounds like you already made up your mind what you were going to do before you asked for our help, so why did you even bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was not a one off occurrence.[/color] Might have been his phone, since I've never had a problem using one-2-call in Pattaya. But on the islands off the west coast of southern Thailand, south of Koh Lanta, a friend and I kept trying to call lady friends elsewhere. He had dtac, no problems, and I could rarely get a signal. He was nice enough to lend me his phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 His plan seems to be to use his US mobile network's roaming plan, as the caller is expected to call him on his US number. No, this scenario wasn't clear in his original post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
