I'm bumping this thread to ask what's the best sim/plan to use for a usage of 5GB or more during a of about a month.

TIA.

Maybe have a read through this thread, I recently tried to update the 3 major providers. http://www.thaivisa....-service-plans/



I think they all have 5 GB threshold packages so it's really a matter of your individual situation, equipment and location.

We need to know what make, model equipment you have, where you are located, if you have voice and text requirements etc.

At the 5 GB level they all offer "unlimited" usage above the threshold, albeit at 384 Kbps.

They all seem to be 890-ish for 5 GB.

Thanks.

My mobile is a sony ericsson x10 mini pro:
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100

Location will be BKK and Pattaya.

I expect some but not extensive voice and text usage.

Thanks.

Since your phone operates on 850 Mhz 3G your choices are limited to TrueMove H and DTAC/Happy. Assuming you want 3G then TrueMove H may be your best choice as they appear to have extensive coverage in Pattaya while DTAC  has a hole between Chnonburi and Rayong.

I'm getting ais monthly prepay for 855 a month unlimited use... Once I get my iPhone unlocked for 700 baht (that sound about right?!)

Lompato: I think my x10MP is actually on the 900/2100 3G bands, please see posts #13 and #14.

In that case, AIS is the one to go with?.

OK, sorry. You listed:

3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100
HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100


and I only noticed the HSDPA 850, hence my recommendation.

Since your listing is confusing; (HSDPA and 3G are generally the same thing spec. wise) with both 900 and 850 listed I'm not sure what to recommend.

If your phone supports 900 Mhz 3G then your only option is AIS/One-2-Call.

If your phone supports 850 Mhz 3G then TrueMove H may be the best opton as they have coverage in Bangkok and Pattaya, among many other locales.
