I have an old iPhone 3G purchased in U.S., unlocked and working with AIS here.  When AIS rolled out 3G service, I could not (and still cannot) get 3G service; stuck with EDGE (2G).  I believe this is because the phone is only tri-band for 3G (850, 1900, 2100; see tech specs at  http://support.apple.com/kb/sp495), but AIS is using 900 MHz.  Can anyone confirm?  And does DTAC or True use one of those other frequencies, such that if I switched providers, I could get 3G service?  (If so, I assume it's easy to port the phone number?)

Thanks for any help.

If I remember correctly,
AIS: 900MHz, 1800MHz
DTAC: 850MHz, 1800MHz
TRUE: 850MHz, 1800MHz
TOT: 1900MHz, 2100MHz

and all these 4 providers provide 3G

Thanks!  I'll pick up a SIM for one of the others and give it a try.

If you have an old 1-2-call! SIM, you might need to have it exchanged at any AIS office.  Old SIMs don't support 3G.
