Which SIM?
Which SIM?
I'm going to Thailand for about 1 month. I have a plain Nokia Stupid phone. I do only calls and almost no texting. What's the best/cheapest SIM Card for me?

Re: Which SIM?
My advice is to just go into 7 Eleven and check what they have.
I think I paid about 100 Baht for a SIM the last time because we wanted 3G, but they had even cheaper ones.

Depends on the 7/11. A lot of them do sell SIM cards.phuketrichard wrote:7/11 does not sell sim card

Many phone shops sell SIMs with included credit but when you stick the card in a phone you find the credit has already been used or is about to expire. So don't make "free"/included credit part of your selection process.
AIS works everywhere I've been in Thailand but their 3G coverage doesn't include Koh Tao. Dunno about Koh Phangan and Koh Samui. It's also a lot more expensive than mobile Internet in Cambodia.

I bought one as recently as December at one in Bangkok.phuketrichard wrote:7/11 does not sell sim card
I think the first place I stopped only had the tourist ones in stock, and I took 5 steps across the street and walked into another 7 Eleven which had a choice of at least 2 different kinds.

Re: Which SIM?
i stand corrected, they dont sell them in the 7/11 here in Phuket only top up ( credit)
Lot more expensive for mobile ?? don think so but it is more expensive to call Cambodia than for Cambodia to call here
I post pay, get 250 minutes, 150 sms, 1 gig 3 g ( an than drops to unlimited gprs or whatever its called) for $14/month

Waaaaaaaaaay more expensive. With Smart pre-pay I get 2.5 gig 3g for $5 valid for up to 30 days. I think you can get 3 gigs with Cellcard for the same money. I hardly ever make voice calls so don't really care what they cost.phuketrichard wrote:
