Can you recommend a Thai mobile phone card that is easier to use?

There are only three telecom operators in China. We are in a dilemma when choosing services. For some foreign countries, there may be as few as a dozen or as many as hundreds of telecom operators. , so it is even more difficult when choosing a phone card. Today I will sort out the phone cards in Thailand. I hope it can help you next time you travel.

There are currently three well-known companies in Thailand: AIS, truemove H, and DTAC. The popular phone cards owned by these three telecom operators include one-2-call, Truemove card, and Happy card. How do we choose between these three cards?

AIS’s one-2-call card. Compared with the other two companies, AIS invests less in advertising, so it is not as well-known as the other two. Their most popular one is the 299 baht package. Phone card, unlimited Internet access for 8 days. The network includes 2.5G high-speed 4G network + 2.5G 2G network speed. The traffic is unlimited at 2G network speed. In addition, the 100 baht call fee is included, and calls in Thailand are free.

AIS’s 2G and 3G phone cards have the strongest coverage in Thailand, but the network speed is average and the discounts are not many in normal times. If you are going to a more remote place, their cards are more expensive. Advantages. When using it, you need to turn off the network first, then turn off the phone and insert the card. Then when you turn it on, you will receive a text message and activate it automatically. Then you can turn on the data and you can use it normally.

DTAC Company’s Happy Card, DATC Company’s marketing efforts in Thailand are very strong, so they are relatively well-known. However, according to netizens, their 4G network speed is not as good as the other two. Currently, their main promotion is a 299 yuan phone card package, which includes unlimited Internet access for 8 days. The network includes 2.5G 4G high-speed network + 2.5G ordinary 2G network, unlimited traffic at 2G network speed, and a Chinese SMS service for 100 baht. Calls in Thailand are free.

The activation method of Happy Card is the same as the AIS card above, but Happy Card often has some discounts on data packages. Regarding network speed, compared with the other two, it does not have much advantage. The Chinese SMS service will be received after activation. Mainly when you encounter some usage problems, you can operate according to the Chinese SMS manual. I personally feel that it is not very useful.

Truemove card can be said to be the best choice in Thailand at present. They mainly promote two types of cards, one is the ordinary tru card and the other is the ok card. In fact, their tru card and The price of the happy card and the packages included are basically the same, so you will know by looking at the introduction of the happy card. If we talk about strength, tru has the advantage. First of all, they are the first company in Thailand to enter the 4G field, so they can be said to have taken the lead. Secondly, they have more network frequency bands. I don’t know much about the frequency bands. It probably means that the current network is divided into multiple frequency bands. The more frequency bands you support, the better the signal strength and stability of the network. Anyway, the current frequency band tru company basically covers it. Here is a picture for you, so you can understand it at a glance.

So what is the ok card? You can think of it as China Unicom’s King Card, which allows unlimited data usage when using some APPs, including WeChat, Weibo, QQ, etc. Secondly, there are many tru wifi hotspots in Thailand, which you can connect with a tru card, and you can use them for free after connecting. That’s about it. The activation process is the same as that of the two companies above. As far as I know, the package prices of the three companies are basically the same. If you consider discounts, then pay attention to the happy card. If you go to remote places, then choose AIS. For others, you can consider the ok card. In fact, the ok card is better for long-term living in Thailand. There are advantages, but for tourists, the advantages are not big. After all, the data provided by the other two companies during the 8-day tour is basically enough, unless you stay outdoors all day watching movies or something. If it is a hotel, there is free WiFi, so specifically How to choose depends on your own preferences.
