Thai Phone Service.

Now WTF? I registered my phone maybe 9 years ago, and when I checked True said I had already done so. I just called a friend and instead got a message warning me that by law I was not going to be able to use my number. It then told me I had 490 baht credit valid until 27 July. At least the message was in English, but what the hell is going on? I did what I was supposed to and am still getting warnings like this.

 

When I use *9344 to try to extend my time, I get a long message in Thai telling me to do something. Damned if I know what, since True already told I was registered. I was advised to use *934# instead, but when I do I get informed in English that there is no such service available.

 

What is going on and what am I expected to do?

p.s. I just called 1331, the True number to verify if you've registered. When I called that number several months ago, they said I was registered. But when I called now, True says I'm not!

 

I'd suggest that anyone else using True call 1331 to find what your status is. You never know what True is up to.

They probably don't know either

What was the date for registering again???

Has anyone heard how they're going to handle tourists, who buy a new prepaid SIM when they arrive from AIS or 1-2-Call or some such, because the previous one has expired?

That's what everyone is wondering. Still no answers.
