Buying a Thai SIM card

topup — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:15:18 +0000

When traveling to Thailand, it’s very easy to get a Thai SIM card and have your own Thai phone number. If you currently use an unlocked GSM phone, you can replace your existing SIM card with a Thai SIM card and you will be connected with the Thai GSM network. While in Thailand you will be able to make local calls at local rates, send SMS, MMS and use GPRS and EDGE data services. If you DO NOT use a Thai local SIM, you can still use your phone and original phone number in Thailand, but you will be roaming and be subject to HIGH international roaming charges. While this is fine for some people, having a local SIM is an advantage because you can feel free to use your phone at affordable rates without worry of a high phone bill when you return to your country.

Here are some reasons to have a local Thai SIM when traveling to Thailand:
- Emergencies. With your phone on roaming, you will not be able to call the emergency numbers in Thailand. (Emergency: 191)
- Call 4 digit hotlines. Many major services like airlines, hotels, and tourist service offer a 4 digit number to call. (Tourist Police: 1155)
- Incoming calls are free. Leave your number with local friends or travel agents and have no fear they will cost you money by calling.
- Incoming texts are free. More businesses are using SMS to send confirmations. Make sure you can receive them easily.
- Internet access. Using GPRS or EDGE on your phone, you can be online and check email anywhere in Thailand.
- Connect with the locals. It’s impolite to ask a local person to call you on your International number. Save them the hassle and expense.
- Pre-Paid Don’t worry about running up a big bill. Just add what you need, and if you need more, add more credit.

Sounds good, how do I get a Thai SIM card?

You can buy a Thai SIM card at any convenience store in Thailand, so getting one is not hard if you are already in Thailand. But in case you want to be prepared and save yourself some hassle, we suggest buying a SIM card before you go. Here are a few reasons you may want to get your SIM card in advance.

- Tell friends, neighbors and relatives your Thai local number in advance of your trip.
- Call taxi, hotel or friends as soon as you land.
- Get the right SIM. We currently stock hard to find 1 year validity SIM cards, perfect for travelers. Most SIM cards will expire after 30 days of no use or no credit refill. Our current SIM cards are good for 1 year on each top up, and need only one call made every 3 months.
- Get online access right away. Once you buy your number, you can go online send a SMS message, check your balance, change the promotion and turn on roaming – all before you get your SIM card.
- Be sure you will have access to email and the internet. Upon landing, you can use your Thai SIM to connect to GPRS/EDGE and get your email, tweets or facebook updates.

We suggest you follow these smart travel steps:
1. 15 to 30 days before your trip, order a Thai SIM card.
2. When your SIM arrives, put it your phone and test that it works with your local network.
3. Send a test text message to a local friend or family member. This will help you test the service and also provide them with your Thai number.
4. Share your number with those who you would like to keep in touch with.
5. When you land on the ground in Thailand, you can insert your Thai SIM and begin using your phone at local rates.

Refiling your pre-paid credit is easy. Once you are in Thailand you can purchase top up credit at any convenience store or mall. Of course you can also purchase online from ThaiPrePaidCard.com.
