Validating your telephone
« on: March 03, 2015, 08:24:38 PM »
Here is more than I understand. 
 
 
If you have a Thai Telephone it seems you have to take it to a service center to have it validated with your ID Card.   
 
 
 
Hopefully some of you smarter Expats can explain why.   cheergirl
 
 
 
 
 
 
BTW, AIS is offering a buy one get one free (not telephone) promotion when doing this.  Yes, hope you can figure that out also.
 
 
 
Again things are lost in translation, but I heard to don't you can be locked out.

Plenty of unsavoury people have been using anonymous sim cards for nasty plots and also for actually detonating bombs.

Should explain all ....


great info.   Expats need to read and heed.

Your all late . I did mine 3 years ago. No problem.

 
 
My TW just got a new sim card less than 6 months ago, she had to validate. 


I recommend you recheck. 

 
 
But as usual, up to you.

Don't need to. like I said I registered my number  3 years back when I transferred my number from AIS to True. If you have any doubts this has been a requirement and law since 2001. Its just now being enforced. To check to see if your number is registered call *151# on any phone with any provider.  Its in Thai so your partner may need to translate for you.

The reason I did mine 3 years back was I wanted to transfer my number from AIS over to True as AIS IN KC at that time sucked big time and  to do this the my number had to be registered.( I have had the same number for 9 years). All you need is your passport and some providers are accepting your DL as it also has your pp number on it. Remember to check by calling
*151# from any phone and any provider. It is in Thai so you may need a translator.

I and my wife also registered a few years back. My wife has 4 numbers as she can add money to other phones online.

We went to the phone shop today and they said that previous registration was now invalid, and everyone has to register again. This was true,AIS and Dtac, as we have at least one number for each service.

Expats,

If you see Starman and me agreeing on something you might want to check.

The DL will not have your current passport number if you have renewed your passport in the interim period - or if you have one of the old 'lifetime' DL's.
