Sorry to hear you couldnt get one.

Just to try it out I also got a "DTAC Happy Internet sim" in the DTAC Shop in Big-C .  Here in Bangrak the signal is much weaker, but it still works on 3G, the speed is slower too, I get about 1 Mbit. This Sim is still quite a good deal. I spent 69 or 79 baht, including 3G with a total of 1200 Minutes (4 months with 300 Minutes each) . Not perfect for 24h Smartphone users, but quite a good backup for notebook use when there is no power or the landline stops working for a while.

I got MNP last week, rough start as I could not send or receive SMS but it took them 2 hours to fix it.

Speed is great in Samutprakarn (5-6 Mb/s) but slower at Suvarnabhumi airpot (around 1.5 Mb/s).

Went around (Pattaya, Rayong) and so far 3G everywhere, got switched once to True 3G instead of True-H 3G and that was at the airport.

Happy camper so far.

Yeh, had SMS outbound issue too, but happy camper now.

I notice big difference with using Skype on 3G whilst on the move

I ended up giving the TrueMove H pre-paid (the subject of this thread) SIM to a friend as I am still waiting to hear more about the service. They have so few customers it's hard to get a lot of feedback; with almost no customers the data performance seems to be pretty good but I am specifically talking about pre-paid, and roaming performance/experiences.

For me DTAC, Happy actually, continues to provide excellent service so I am sticking with them until I hear more actual user feedback re: TrueMove H PRE-PAID. Yes, I know they are a "foreign" company.

My DTAC/Happy pre-paid plan offers 99 satang/min to all networks 7/24, 004 to the U.S. is 3 baht/min; SMS are 99 satang ea., and 1 GB of data (3G) is 349 baht. The kicker for me: the eServices platform which allows me to access, manage and monitor all aspects of my account on-line. TrueMove H (PRE-PAID) does not offer anything even close. I am Happy to sit back and see how others fare with TrueMove H PRE-PAID.

Enjoy the 5 cells sites where you can get your 1 GB from

[CaptainS]

Hi,

can anyone of you tell me how I can top up my True-Move H Sim?  My inital credit is used up and couldnt find a way to put new credit yet

It doesnt work if I select the usual True in my Kasikornbank account. Will normal true vouchers from 7/11 work or any other hints where I can get a new load? Credit Card?

The boots in Tesco couldnt really help me today.

Thanks for any help!

DTAC's 2,000 installed 3G base-stations have been sufficient for me to date. Not sure where you pulled this "5 cell sites" from? I spend most of my time in metro-Bangkok. The choice of a service provider is very personal, and dependent on many, many factors. I was considering moving to TrueMove H Prepay but I am still waiting for more user feedback.

The brochure included with the Smartphone Prepay SIM mentioned several top-up options. TrueMoney, basically the universal True card you can buy anywhere, may be the easiest for you?

http://www.hutch.co....ay/refil_en.htm

The brochure also mentions 7-11 top-up, where you give them your number and cash and they add value.

The TrueMove H prepay service is new so hopefully they'll get the ATM top-up arranged and working soon? Not sure what happens if you choose Hutch on the ATM service?

And this info comes from where ? Their PR dept?

Public Announcements .

[lomatopo]

FYI, it looks like Truemove H customers, at least postpaid, can utiilize the 006 service, but you have to register for it:

TrueMove H Customers
a. TrueMove H postpay customers who have already applied for IDD service with Truemove H enable to use true 006 without registering.
b. New TrueMove H customers can request for true 006 service at Hutch and TrueMove shop or calling to True Move Call Center 1331. TrueMove and TrueMove H customers who have already activated for international roaming service are automatically activated for true 006 service.

I sort of assume TrueMove H prepay customers can also register for 006?

Were you able to top-up? It seems like the TrueMoney Cash Card, available everywhere, should work. I think you dial 90001 from your phone, follow the prompts, entering the PIN from the card.

It's hard to get any detail on top-up options as the service is so new, and so few people have it.

I guess you could call 1331 for help if you cannot figure out how to top up.

Good luck, and let us know what works re: topping up.

So the  "2000  installed sites"  is just waffling on ?

well DTAC 3 g works in metro bkk, nakhon pathom, hua hin and a few other places so IF as you say they only have 5 cell sites now.
Think how good they will be when they ARE actually allowed to spread out illegally like True have been

[beachyman]

I have a dtac post pay and a true, AIS prepay because honestly 3G service is pretty spotty.

Best to check in your area first before committing. In my old place i did not get a single bar on dtac but in my new place i have 4-5 all the time, 3G is 3-5mb down, 1 up.

Goods news. I was able to top up with the usual True Move credit from 7/11 , no special True-Move H credit needed. Staff in True Move Shop in Nathon told me its possible, luckily the girl was right

I have just entered the top up number into the software of my True Move 3G Stick, easy and instantly.

Meanwhile I have tried it and it works with the usual True Voucher, from 7/11, no special True Move-H Voucher needed. Thats ok for now, I am happy to have at least one way to top up.

At internet banking with Kasikorn I can only select "Hutch Postpay", probably not the right one, couldnt try ATM yet.

[HardenedSoul]

I've had Truemove-H post-paid for about 5 months. No complaints; 3G very quick and works on the MRT. Beware the spam SMS, though. Even though I specifically asked for them to stop, the odd one still comes through.

What about 00600?

I MND'd from TrueMove to TrueMove-H post-paid, and forgot about enabling True WiFi (didn't even have username/password) until a few weeks after.

Now I realize I probably need to enable 00600, as well.

Anything ELSE I might have forgotten to change from TrueMove to TrueMove-H?

I think 00600 requires an InterSIM (pre-paid or post-paid), and in the case of post-paid it used to require a monthly fee. Did you have 00600 before? Post-paid or pre-paid? It was pretty easy to get a pre-paid InterSIM (49 baht) on TrueMove, then you could layer a 3G data plan on top of that. With TrueMove H pre-paid I think you may be limited to 006, which is pretty decent: 3 baht/min to the U.S. If you ant 1 baht/min maybe try one of the calling cards?

Are you using the iSIM? In an air-card? Which plan are you using? It looks like they have a +50% promotion on-going, so 500 MB is really 750 MB, for 300 baht.

Mate.. wasn't me that said True's deal is illegal it was the different areas of the government and TOT. That's why they have been given time to explain the deal.

Off course illegal in Thailand has many different meanings depending on WHO you are.

PS: what have you got against DTAC? You seem to have an axe to grind.

1. They tried their best to shut down 3G in Thailand out of self interest.
2. Just annoys me when there is claim about their great 3G network coverage.  It's gotten better over the last 3 months in BKK , but they have been claiming 3G in BKK for ages, when actually what they really mean is down town.

What? Dtac tried to shut down 3g............................ hahahahaha.

It's CAT/TOT and their cronies at True that have distorted the 3g market in Thailand. It is they that have caused Dtac's 3g problems by constantly rejecting Dtac's applications for equipment etc.. even rejecting an increase in trial equipment while letting True move expand their trial.

Because officially that's all we have is a trial 3g system in Thailand (accept TOT's 1900mhz 3g.

Cat/True 3h is effectively the original Cat cdma network upgraded to Wcdma/HSDPA 3g.

Then Dtac finally decided to join the rest in breaking the rules so they could attempt to catch up on True/Cat who are 12-18mths ahead.

Don't even get me talking about T0T the ONLY company to have a fully legal 3g licence (for 1900mhz) who have just sat back and pissed it up the wall.

Does anyone else wonder about DTAC's last outage which occurred because they had a fire at a base station in Petchaburi  AND on the same night within a few hours of that a car ran into a base station in prachaup kiri kan..coincidence or foul play.....

funny that the Authorities jumped all over it while never mentioning the TOT/Jasmin/3bb fiasco were people were left without internet they had paid for for weeks/months at an end

Rant over

Next time I'm near the True office, I'll inquire about getting 00600 enabled/authorized again.  If I remember...

Just to confirm I have 00600 activated on my phone (Truemove-H Postpaid). I was told you have to call them to activate for prepaid.

Good luck.
