Which one is better, Thai internet card or Thai phone card?

Nowadays, everyone’s life is basically inseparable from the Internet, so there is one thing you cannot forget when traveling abroad, and that is a phone card. Now the editor will tell you the relevant strategies about Thailand calling cards.

Thailand has three major operators: Truemove, AIS, and DTAC (Happy Card). Each operator has launched a card suitable for tourists traveling to Thailand for a short period~~

Please note:

1. People often ask whether they can use local cards with their mobile phones. They say that the details involve various standards and frequency band terms, and it is basically easy to be deceived. Here is a simple method for you. All domestic mobile phones that can accept China Unicom cards can use Thai calling cards. The complicated method is to first check the standard and available frequency bands of your mobile phone, and then compare the standard and frequency band of each card (specified later in the article) to see if it can be used.

2. Starting from April 2015, purchasing phone cards in Thailand requires real-name registration. If you buy a card locally, you need to show your passport and the staff will help you register. However, the cards purchased from some merchants on Taobao have already been registered and can be inserted and used upon arrival. Therefore, if island friends buy a card on Taobao before departure, remember to ask the seller whether the card can be inserted and used, or whether you need to bring your passport to register at the counter.

Which card has a better signal?

They are almost the same as China Unicom and Telecom. Which one has a better signal~

Taobao or local, where can I buy it locally?

If Apple is a mobile phone, buy it on Taobao, such as this one, because it will definitely work after Apple is installed and restarted. Because of price wars, Taobao sometimes sells items for less than face value!

If it is an Android phone (Xiaomi users don’t need to worry~), some phones will have APN setting problems. If you are afraid that you can’t solve it, the airport will sell cards! There will be help on site to help you change your card, one-stop service, absolutely rest assured!

My card has been recharged. What to do if there is no signal?

Most smartphones can automatically connect to the network by inserting the card into the card and restarting it (at the same time, you will receive a text message explaining the tariff).

Some mobile phones can only make calls after being plugged in, but cannot connect to 4G, such as my mother-in-law’s great Sony Android phone.

At this time, you need to set the APN manually!

Open your phone and find the option to create a new APN. The general path is (Settings-Mobile Network-Access Point Name-New APN), set according to the type of card:
