Mobile Internet is a big problem in foreign tourism, so what kind of mobile card do you need to apply for when you travel to Thailand? How to get online in Thailand?
1. If conditions permit, it is recommended to buy happy card.
I have used all the cards of happy card, AIS card and ture move card. I think it's a free SIM card, but there's no charge in it. I don't think it's useful. You need to use it or recharge it before you can open it.
The AIS card is more expensive than the happy card, but I don't think it makes any difference. When I go to Phuket, I use AIS. My fellow friends use happy cards. They can be used in Phuket. When we went out to sea, we were far away from the island. There was no signal. To PP Island, we have another signal. So I think it's all the same.
And you're going to Bangkok. The signal from Bangkok is much better than that from Phuket's outlying island. Any carrier's card has a signal.
2. But there is a problem in using happy card (so there is a problem in Thailand's telephone card). The 3G network system in Thailand is WCDMA, and the 2G system is GSM, which is used by all telecom operators including happy card.
If your mobile phone is Unicom mobile phone or water cargo mobile phone, all network mobile phone, you can use happy card.
If your mobile phone is a mobile customization machine, you can only use 2G network, which will be much slower.
If your mobile phone is a telecom customized machine, you can't use happy card at all. The 2G system and 3G system of Telecom do not conform to each other.
3. If your mobile phone can't support Internet access, you can buy a mobile wifi (Note: it's for purchase, not for rent).
You can buy a mobile wifi signal router on Taobao. It's about 200 yuan. Be sure to buy the Unicom version instead of the mobile and telecom Version (the system doesn't match). After you go to Thailand, buy a mobile card (buy a happy card locally in Thailand, there are two packages of THB 199 and THB 299). Ask the staff to open the Internet for you, insert the mobile card into the WiFi router, and then you can access the Internet.
I suggest you buy WiFi router because it will be more cost-effective than renting. You rent a mobile wifi online on a daily basis. When you come back from a trip, the WiFi is not yours. You may as well buy one yourself and use it in other places later.
4. Thailand's happy card 7-day package can be purchased at Thai airport at two prices: 199b and 299B.
The difference between the two is the free 3G traffic within 7 days, the 3G traffic of 199b is 500MB, and the 3G traffic of 299B is 1GB. After exceeding the free 3G traffic, both cards are automatically converted to 2G traffic, and the 2G traffic used within 7 days is unlimited.
The purchase of telephone card in Thailand is based on THB 199 and THB 299. If you buy it in Taobao, it will be cheaper. The package of 299 is less than 40 yuan.
If your mobile phone can use happy card, you can buy it on Taobao. If you need to buy a mobile wifi card to change your mobile phone can't use happy card, you can go to Thailand to buy it again.
5. In addition, you should pay attention to the fact that the real name system is to be implemented for the telephone card in Thailand now.
If you bought the happy card in Taobao, now some big stores in Taobao can buy the happy card in the name of the company and handle the real name system. In fact, this Taobao store has a company in Thailand, and the company guarantees you. If you want to buy happy card in Taobao, you should first ask if the store has helped to handle the real name certification.
But even if Taobao sellers don't have real name certification, it's not a big problem. If there's a counter for happy card operators in the airport and they are open 24 hours a day, you can go to the counter with your passport and phone card to find staff. They will help you board the plane and open it. It can be used as well, don't worry. Now it's just that you need to go to the operator to register yourself. There's just one more step.
If you're going to Thailand airport to buy a happy card, you just need to register your passport with the staff.
