Almost anyway, u can c or if u r in MBK, I think on the 3rd storey the whole area sell mobile phones, there r a lot prepaid cards. Cost depends on the mobile number. Some comes with a value.

Very easy to find shops selling prepaid cards in thailand...Orange,Dtac and AIS etc. Minimum top up from 50baht onwards.

You can find many shops at the first level and basement of Lee Garden Plaza.
Think should be from 300-500baht for the sim card.

1. Yes u r right.
2. If I'm not wrong, I bought mine at 300B which included 50B to make call n I got a 300B top up card to top it up.

1 2 call is very comman in bkk you can buy it at any mobile shop in bkk but you must top up i think 500 bath if you want to make international call you can sms also and they will sms you often and tell you that you card valve is low you need to top up but just dont care cos. they bullshit you got one time my card valve still got about 400+ bath they sms me said my card valve is low so i stupid stupid go and top up another 400 bath fucking hell !!!! later they sms me said i got now 700 bath in my sim card that mean b4 i top up the 400 bath i still got 300 bath in my sim card and they got the cheek to sms me and said my card valve is low need to top up asap

if u wan, u can buy it at golden mile in sg. but will be more expensive then in thailand..
btw no need to throw it away...still can use back if u go back in the future... all you need is to top up when u go back....
the prepaid card in thailand do not expire like those use in sg...

[free]

U can buy a DTAC Starter Kit for 199baht - comes with 50B. Not all 7-11 sell starter kits but all sell topups.

Actually I have a new DTAC Starter Kit (unused) together with a topup of 200baht. Only used it to activate SMS so that the user can starting using SMS immediately. Anyone who is keen, I can pass to you at cost (399 Baht). PM if any bro interested.

Had originally intended to send a hp with the SIM card to my ex-tirak cos she had lost her hp and dun have one for 2+ months liao, but never got around to doing that, for a very good reason.

Are you sure about that ?

The last time i check with the card dealers, i was told the expire date was something like fm 1 to 3 mths. Because of the short expiring dates i didn't buy one. At least the ISP in Sland gave 6 mths validility.

Can someone you or some bro pls confirmed the validility of these pre-paid card ?
