True is in third place for English customer service. If you want the best customer service, use DTAC Happy. That said, I do currently use True and have had luck with getting an English speaking operator to cancel my 3G package, so I could upgrade to the larger one.

True sucks! I can’t access to mobile internet for 2 days, it gave me a lot of inconvenience and trouble. And I tried the calling centre 1331, i waited for 30 minutes, no one answered the call. And i tried the online chatting, for the english version, just one person waiting took me like an hour to wait, and i finally have to give up! There is no one that that one person were chatting for an hour. I think they just make it default so they don’t need to give the service! It’s just plain annoying and fucking suck!

I also have the same problem, and have not seen anywhere to change them to English.

Just want to say this is no longer true.. as all 3 networks have 3G now.

besides Bkk area and Phuket, they have 3G in most of Chiang Mai city at least for a year now… also I heard about Samui, but can’t confrim as haven’t been there for 1,5 years now

just make sure your phone supports 850 MHz 3G (all iPhones from 3G do, but many phones, especially older, do not)… if no, your phone will fall back to 2G service, which is often a bit slow even with EDGE (5-15 kByte/s) and in remote areas there’s sometimes no EDGE (only GPRS, which is painfully slow)… in Bkk and around (including Pattaya) this is not so pronounced and it’s often fast

if using 2G, better choice is DTAC.. I’m using it 4+ years (truemove 1+) and the speed is fast for 2G (20-25 kbyte/s) almost everywhere/all the time. I even ever tried to use video Skype chat while in the train, and as long as there’s dtac signal, it works (!), albeit slow. But for 3G covered areas, yes, truemove is much better – plus, their call prices (including international, both regular and “low-cost” 00600 prefix) are often cheaper

excellent, there’s a coverage map on their website, but I feel like it’s at least a year outdated, as there’s 3g signal in many other areas as well

If you are coming to Thailand with an iPhone, then your only real choice is True Move.

I find TrueMove 3G in Patong, Phuket is fantastic and would recommend it to any travellor.
