OK thanks for the information. Guess ill be looking for a True Move InterSIMS. I assume they are less than 500 baht.
I just got the full story from a customer service person at this good  number:  .AIS1175 with good english.
The one year plan is now obsolete for the new AIS sim cards.That of course explains why on one phone with the older sim card and  older 1 year  plan ( for any denominated deposit) I get one year. With the newer sim card  on the other phone - the limited time periods. This plan change is obviously for the benifit of AIS.

The expiration dates when making 50 & 100 baht deposits are not the same on these two model 1200 phones : On one of the phones the 50 & 100 ( 1-2 call AIS card )deposits are good for one year. Which used to be the case for this other phone until recently. Now the same deposits expire  in 2 weeks on this phone in question.So I just  went on a  bs  runaround from the AIS customer service at Big C who referred me to Tuc Com on PattayaTai for a new sim card that is good for one year.
At this booth they tried to sell me a 1-2 AIS sim card that had 1 year written on it. Well I checked it with a 50 baht deposit and it was only good for one week - more bs.It seems the new AIS sim cards have expiration dates much less than one year. If this is the way they are supposed to work then I must have been lucky in the last 6 years with sim cards that have one year exp dates from any baht ( 50,100. 300 ) deposit.

*121#   = the balance , And as in above Im getting :  100 baht expires 17- 5- 2012 . So actually 14 days.

No when any girls are visiting the phones are secured, 2 lost phones was enough.
But again , as in above post . I just deposited 100 baht from 00 credit and *121# = 100 baht ,17- 5 -2012

Maybe   this is the latest scam

There is no send tab on this most basic phone. And you can be sure that the customer
service people are not very helpfull . Ready to change sim/companies.

Was referred to the AIS customer service at Big C Pattaya Klang , Pattatya.
The girl checked online and told me that the 50 baht 1,2 call card expires 5 days from deposit date and the
100 baht card is good for 10 days. So I just deposited 100 baht and sure enough it is only good for 10 days.
Have never had this problem before in 2 years   and on my other Nokia phone that I just  topped at 250 baht, the minutes are good
for one year. It seems somehow that something changed on this phone spontaneously ? Whatever   it was I want to
reverse it. Dont see any letters (G) on screen or model #. These phones are the most basic (blue/white) Nokia makes.
