I suspect that CAT CDMA customers are changing to 3G whenever it becomes available in their areas. I say that because my connection is the best it has ever been. Maybe I'm wrong but CDMA seems to be getting better every week and I'm guessing that is because of less traffic and fewer customers.
They save 230 baht with the new MyClick 590 plan. And there is an overall combined increase in coverage area with HPSA+ Althought they lose their unthrottled capability. For the casual thai internet user, 230 baht is free!

I am confused because I paid 799 baht + VAT for an unlimited month from TRUE MOVE H.
Now I have reached 3gb of uploaded/downloaded data and my speed has been reduced to 125kbps.
Okay, so how is that an unlimited plan? I guess by unlimited they meant speed? LOL, the speed was rarely over 2mb/2mb
Where can I actually find a plan that allows you to download/upload unlimited and not this 3gb bullshit?

okay i guess i answer my own question they have 1699b + VAT for 10gb and 899b+VAT for 5gb which would have been much better value.

ไม่พบข้อมูลบริการ เนื่องจากท่านยังไม่เคยสมัครใช้บริการในกลุ่มทรู หรือ ลูกค้าแบบเติมเงิน กรุณาเชื่อมต่ออินเตอร์เนตด้วย 3G/EDGE/GPRS เพื่อเข้าใช้บริการค่ะ

okay figured that out as well, i needed to log in online while using the sim card for my internet connection (crazy slow)
next problem is that i do not know how i can buy a new plan cause it appears when i go to "Buy Package" it does not list anything for 3G because I obviously already have a plan.
I cant find anyways to cancel my existing plan!!!

AFAIK, only TOT has unlimited mobile broadband (3G) which has no fair-use thresholds/speed limits.

Cat CDMA, if they are in your service area and will still accept signups, will have unlimited 3G also with no fair use limit. I'm still on the 790 package, but I think this has increased to 990. Check the local office and mention 790 unlimited package and let them correct you. 
The speeds are usually really good depending on the area. It might be better now because some of the traffic load has shifted to the other wireless providers.
Surprised the price went up considering their newer technology, myByCat is 590 for unlimited with 4GB fair use cap, and the throttle download speed is supposed to be 384Kbps. will have to see.
When they mention unlimited, if there is a fair use cap, all of the carriers do clearly post this on the pamphlet, and the "unlimited" will usually have a * next to it. The only thing that has changed is the throttle speed.

I actually came here to show that AIS has a promotion that is basically a scaled down version of their smartphone monthly package.
WebPromo http://www.ais.co.th...otionOnWeb.html
49 baht/month
1bt/min voice calls 24 hours all networks (iNclude vat)
50 MB 3G/edge data, 1.92 baht/MB afterwards (INclude vat)
SMS 1 baht, MMS 3 baht (EXclude vat)
Great for people who barely use the internet, or SMS. I can then just layer on more internet when i travel into the city or if needed. But I don't pay the full price of 200 baht/mo if i never end up using the data or SMS from smartphone package. Basically, we don't get penalized for having a smartphone but forgetting to switch off the data. without some kind of plan, they will eat your balance down with the "by the minute" internet charge.
Normally these type of plans have some catch, like 3baht/sms or something obviously trying to get you to get the next higher plan or something. With this, it's not the end of the world if my gf cannot layer on mao mao, which gives 0.75 baht/min voice with a time limit or they even have mao mao where you can have 50% off regular call rate for 8 baht/day. This would make the voice calls for that day about 0.50-0.60 baht depending on how many minutes you use. That could add up if you talk a lot.

can someone please tell me where i can go to a TOT shop to buy a 3g sim?
went to a big c yesterday and none of the 5 shops had any TOT 4g sims.
I am in thong lo area.
i see no location list on that website.
thanks
also what is your experience with TOT... is it as fast and reliable as TRUE MOVE H ?
Posted 2012-05-01 07:57:18
^ Maybe try Fortune Town?
It does look like that 2x promotion ended yesterday? If so, now 15 days/790 baht and 30 days/1490 baht.
3G speed/reliability is highly variable owing to location, and total number of subscribers. your mileage will vary. I assume your device supports 3G 2100 Mhz as this is the spectrum TOT uses.
You can also review TOT's MVNOs to see if they have any plans which meet your requirements?

do 3g sims in thailand only come in micro sim size or can you also get one in normal size sim? this is a problem i keep running into. i do not have a micosim cell phone just a cell that uses a regular sim card. this makes it harder as i cannot just order packages by dialing on my phone. thanks.

ALL the sim cards I've seen here so far are "normal" size - it's just that the microsim version has an extra set of perforations to enable you to punch out the "microsim" part of it should you need to do so. As long as you don't punch it out, you have a regular size sim. It's a little more fragile than a normal sim because if the perforations, is all.
Microsims and normal sims are 100% identical other than physical size. In fact you can "make" a microsim out of a normal sim with a craft knife, at a push, by simply cutting it down to size. I have a machine (like a hole punch) for doing so. Why so many people think a microsim is some magical device (probably an idea perpetrated by the iDrones since they first appeared on iDevices) I don't know...
Anyway I mention that last part, because the physical size of the sim has absolutely nothing to do with what pachages you can order "by dialing on my phone"...

Maybe simplest to just buy a uSIM carrier; they are ~ 50 baht.

Ok, so I had a 30 day package with True Move H for 3g to use with my aircard as previously mentioned. I used up my allowed fair usage (3g)... so now I am trying to purchase a new plan so that I can get off of the bare minimum reduced internet speed it allows for. But this does not appear possible.
When I enter in the code of the package I want to order, the SMS reply in Thai says that I already have unlimited internet. But I just want to start over so that my internet speed goes back up again. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Do I seriously have to wait until the end of the 30 days and cannot buy a new package right now?

Technically yes. I believe you can "cancel" your package thereby enabling you to activate a new one, but I don't think there's an automatic way of doing so, you would have to call their customer service. This could get tedious if you're doing it regularly.
If you absolutely can't live without "high speed" (personally I find 384kbps usable, even as a very heavy user) then your best option is alternating between two or more chips. I'd go for the cheapest way to get mass volumes of data, which would be 10Gb of "hi speed" before you'd need to change chips and activate another 10Gb on another chip. Rinse and repeat.

I believe you have to cancel any current packages before you can subscribe to a new/different one. Maybe call *9000, or *900? They used to publish the cancellation codes but I cannot find them anymore. The subscription codes are here: http://www.truemove-...ay-topping.aspx
So for the 899 plan, enter *900*46# SEND/CALL (press the button you press to make a phone call or send an SMS)
