Where and how to buy a SIM card in Thailand

Naturally, when traveling, a person wants to stay in touch. Unfortunately, in most cases, roaming from Russian operators is very expensive, although there is progress in this direction. However, the best option for staying connected in Thailand seems to be purchasing a local SIM card.

You can buy a Thai SIM card directly in the airport arrivals hall. Most air terminals in the country have counters with almost all mobile operators.

The cost of local SIM cards starts from 49 baht. This is a little over 100 Russian rubles. The price is very reasonable, so there are no obstacles for visiting tourists to get a Thai SIM card.

If you purchase a card upon arrival, you can simply go to the counter of any operator you like and say in Russian: “Internet”. The promoter will immediately understand that the tourist needs a SIM card from a local operator. A person will be offered a price list with all tariffs to choose from. All information is provided in clear English, and in some cases even in Russian. So there should be no problems with the elections.

Tourists don’t always think of getting a SIM card right at the airport. Still, the tiring road leaves its mark. There is no need to despair in such a situation. You can safely go to the hotel to get a good night's sleep, and only then look for the offices of mobile operators. It is gratifying that in some hotels SIM cards are sold right in the lobby. Therefore, it will be enough for a tourist to express his desire to connect to a mobile operator.

To apply for a Thai SIM card, you only need to present your passport.

If it is not possible to purchase a SIM card at the hotel, you will have to walk around the city. When a person arrives to relax at a crowded resort, finding a post office is not difficult. Things are more complicated in remote areas, but here too there are representative offices of mobile operators. You can also find communication stores like 7/11 or Family Mart in shopping centers. Branches located on the street are open 24 hours a day.

In a conversation with a salon employee, you need to say the treasured word “Internet” in Russian or “mobile card” in English. Even if the seller does not know a foreign language (this happens very rarely), from simple words he will understand that the client wants to purchase a SIM card. The tourist will have the opportunity to choose a suitable operator and tariff, after which he will need to present a foreign passport and pay the amount indicated in the price list.

The peculiarity of local SIM cards is that they are sold without the usual PIN code.

How to make cheaper calls to Russia from a Thai SIM card

The above prices for calls from SIM cards of Thai operators are relevant for Internet communications. This is a special service that allows you to make cheap calls to different countries of the world, including Russia.

True Move uses the additions 00600 and 006. These numbers must be inserted before the number that begins with "7". DTAC uses 00400, while AIS uses 003 and 00500.

The best way to save on calls home is to use instant messengers (Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram, etc.), which use the Internet for communication.

Sending SMS messages to Russia

To send short messages, Thai mobile operators use a standard code for Russian numbers. That is, the numbers must start with +7. You won’t be able to save money by sending via the Internet, but in most cases the cost of one SMS to Russia is 5 baht, which is not very expensive.

Mobile operators in the Republic of Cyprus

There are currently 3 main mobile operators operating in the Republic of Cyprus: Cyta, EPIC (formerly MTN) and Primetel.

All three mobile operators have Russian-language pages and booklets on their websites describing mobile communication services. PrimeTel even has its own VKontakte group (vk.com/primetelcyprus).

The largest mobile operator with the largest coverage area is CYTA (CYprus Telecommunications Authority). Second place goes to Epic, but PrimeTel has the most diverse and competitive internet plans with high data speeds.

The cost of a minute of talk and SMS from mobile operators in Cyprus is approximately the same for all three.

CYTA Vodafone

CYTA Vodafone is the most sought after and popular mobile operator in Cyprus. It has the widest coverage area, covering almost all hard-to-reach spots on the island, including remote villages in the Troodos Mountains.

Currently, CyTA provides 3G communication services to 99.5% of the territory of the Republic of Cyprus, and 4G to 79%. In May 2021, the company launched services in the 4.5G category with a maximum speed of 525 megabits per second, and then increased the maximum speed to 700 Mbit/s. According to the results of tests by the international company Ookla, the Cytamobile-Vodafone provider has the highest average Internet speed on the island - 34.12 Mbit/s.

Especially for tourists, the mobile operator CyTA has developed a convenient line of prepaid tariffs, Soeasy. The tariff is designed for smartphones and includes voice communications, as well as data and text messages.

The Soeasy Pay As You Go Connection Pack can be purchased at all Cytashop stores, as well as in shopping centers and kiosks. The starter package costs 7.5 euros, of which 5 euros and 100 SMS to local numbers will be credited to the initial balance. The SIM card is valid for 90 days. The SIM card comes with detailed instructions on how to activate the card and how to top up the balance. After activating the starter package, the classic tariff is activated, which can be immediately changed to any other, more profitable and convenient one.

In the second starter package worth 2 euros, 1 euro is credited to the account

The cost of services of the Cypriot cellular operator CYTA according to the classic soeasy tariff:

• Local SMS – 2.07 euro cents
• Calls within the island – 8.40 euro cents per minute;
• Calls to Russia to landlines are 10 cents, to mobile phones 35 eurocents per minute. Thus, 5 euros of the starter package is enough for approximately 35 minutes of calls to Russian landlines and 15 minutes of calls to mobile phones.
• Internet at this rate will cost about 1 euro per MB

For those who need internet, it will be more profitable to immediately switch to the soeasy Plus tariff by topping up the balance with 35 euros. You can activate the plan by sending an SMS message soeasy [Plan] to number 8000. By paying 35 euros, you get 600 minutes of local calls, 600 local SMS, 2 GB of internet and 3 euros for any other operator services for 30 days.

EPIC (ex MTN)

In 2021, Cyprus' second largest telecommunications company, MTN, was sold to Monaco Telecom and, following a rebrand, continued to operate under the name EPIC. Epic's line of prepaid plans is called Pay As You Go. Starter packages with a validity period of 15 and 30 days have been developed for tourists. The first package is called Pay As You Go Connection Pack, it costs 2 euros (of which 1 euro is on your balance).

When calling using a Pay As You Go prepaid SIM card, the following tariffs apply:

• Local SMS - about 2 euro cents
• SMS abroad - about 4 cents
• Calls to Epic phones cost about 7 euro cents per minute;
• Calls to landlines and other Cypriot mobile operators - about 8 cents per minute

After connecting the SIM card, if you plan to use the Internet, it is better to immediately activate PayAsYouSurf Internet connection packages (4G network) for a period of a day/week or a month. Otherwise, you will have to pay more than 1 euro per megabyte for the Internet “out of the box”.

To activate the Internet service, you need to send a message to the short number 6040. For example, if you need to connect to the Internet for one week (cost 4 euros, 300 MB of traffic), send the message 'data on week' to number 6040. If you require a validity period of 1 month, then The message 'data on month' is sent to the short number (10 euros, 1000MB of traffic). SMS 'data on month 2000' activates 2 GB of internet worth 15 euros and valid for one month. There is a fee of 4 euros for each activation.

After the card expires, the Mobile Broadband Pay As You Go service is disabled, but the balance remains active. If the account is replenished within 180 days, the service will be activated again. This tariff provides only Internet communication, no voice communication. The package is convenient if you plan to use a modem with Internet distribution to several devices. Internet settings are shown in the table at the end of the page.

The second tariff is called Holiday Internet, costs 20 euros and includes 4 GB of traffic, no voice communication. The SIM card is activated by dialing any Cypriot phone number. The package is valid for 15 days, the account is active for 30 days.

You can top up the balance of the Cypriot mobile operator Epic using top up cards with a nominal value of 5 to 50 euros at the checkout at any kiosk or at a terminal in a supermarket. When paying, a 14-digit code is entered; general account information can be obtained via USSD by dialing *115*5#.

PrimeTel

PrimeTel is the most successful private cellular operator, operating its own fiber optic network throughout the island. For tourists in Cyprus, Primetel has developed prepaid tariffs - Pay as you go. The balance can be topped up using payment cards (Top-Up cards). Cards in denominations of 5€, 10€ and 20€ can be purchased at all PrimeTel Mobile sales centers, and cards of 10€, 20€, 35€ and the most expensive card of 50€ can be purchased online.

Each card denomination provides a bonus in the form of free talk time. A 10-euro card will give a bonus worth 50 euro cents, a 20-euro card for 2 euros, a 35 for 4 euros, a 50 for 7 euros.

As a starter package, if you don’t have time to understand the tariffs, a 4GB package worth 15 euros is good. The package contains a SIM card of three formats: mini, micro and nano and 4 GB of 4G Internet. Without topping up the balance, the SIM card is valid for 30 days; after topping up the account, the card can be used for another 90 days.

The minimum amount to top up a new SIM card is 5 euros. The cashier will issue a receipt with a printed 16-digit code, which will need to be entered to credit the money to your balance. After activating the card, you can change the menu language to Russian by dialing the USSD command *135*3#.

The best place to check for cheap voice and mobile plans is on the Primetel official website.

For Internet communications and voice communication during a week-long vacation, the most profitable and easiest way is to buy a starter package for 2 euros, and then install the operator’s mobile application and receive 1 euro to your account and 1 additional GB of traffic as a bonus. A good option might be to use the Super Bundle bonus tariff with a validity period of 10 days. For 8 euros, the Cypriot operator provides 1.5 GB of traffic, 1000 minutes of voice communication and 1000 SMS messages within the network to all PrimeTel numbers. To activate the PrimeTel Super Bundle tariff, after activating the SIM card, you need to send an SMS “ON8” to 8133.

The cost of PrimeTel mobile communication services is average in the market. A minute of conversation when calling a landline telephone in Russia will cost the caller 12 eurocents, to a mobile phone 28 cents, and one international SMS message will cost 6 eurocents. Calls within the island are cheaper: 7.2 eurocents per minute of conversation, sending an SMS message will cost 1-2 eurocents.

In order to connect Tele2 roaming in Cyprus, you should follow these steps:

1. Register in the guest network.
2. Turn off your mobile device and turn it on.
3. Press the “1” button, then enter the SIM card PIN code.

The phone will automatically select the network that is available. If the device is not registered in the system, you should go to the “Manual Search” section and select an operator from the list provided. In this case, the “Request PIN code” option must be enabled.

To make a call, after connecting Tele2 roaming in Cyprus, dial the USSD request: *147*+phone number # and call. After a short period of time, the subscriber will receive a call that needs to be answered, after which a connection will be made to the subscriber.

Choosing a local SIM card

Thailand is a country with a market economic system. There are more than one or two mobile operators operating here. Sometimes it is difficult for visiting tourists to choose the right company. But, as practice shows, Russian tourists largely prefer the following operators:

• AIS.
• DTAC.
• True Move.

These are the most popular companies with offices in almost every city in Thailand. The second question that may interest a tourist is the coverage area. The presented mobile operators operate in most of the territory of the state. However, in the forest or on the highway you will not be able to catch the maximum number of “sticks”.

Now we need to talk about how to choose the right mobile operator. If a tourist comes for a standard period of 10-14 days, then there is no particular point in bothering and looking closely at every offer. But in the case when a person wants to spend a long period of time in Thailand, it makes sense to become familiar with the features of each operator separately.

AIS

Without exaggeration, this is the most important mobile operator in the country. Its customer base covers 40 million people. And this is more than half of the country's population. Of course, the lion's share of clients are visiting tourists. Travelers to AIS are attracted by the large coverage area, competitive rates, and ease of management of communication services.

After a person buys an AIS SIM card, they need to download the my AIS app for Android or iOS. The program is available in the Play Store and App Store app stores. The condition is not mandatory, but the program is useful to quickly check your balance or change the tariff if it was chosen by mistake.

Features of AIS tariffs:

• The average cost of calls to Russia is 4 baht/min.
• Calls within the country - 1 baht/min.
• Free access to Wi-Fi networks “AIS SUPER WiFi” and “AIS SMART Login”.

Most operator SIM cards have a limited service life. If a person does not top up the account or perform paid actions within 5 days (may vary depending on the tariff), the number will be blocked.

A SIM card from a mobile operator can be purchased in the arrivals hall of any local airport. The company's services are also presented in large retail chains 7-Eleven and Family Mart.

DTAC

This mobile operator ranks 3rd in Thailand in terms of customer base. His services are in great demand among Russian tourists. There are no serious differences from AIS, except for some tariff lines. Still, a smaller customer base obliges the company to set a more loyal price tag. And there are no problems with the quality of the coating. DTAC SIM cards work without problems at all popular resorts.

Features of DTAC tariffs:

• Calls to Russia – 4 baht/min.
• Conversations within the network – 1 baht/min.
• The cost of SMS is 3 baht.
• Free Wi-Fi on the “@ dtac wifi” network.

You can buy a SIM card at the airport or at 7-Eleven and Family Mart stores. Connection to DTAC mobile communications is also available in the offices of travel agencies and the operator itself, of which there are about 100 throughout the country.

True Move

This is the second largest operator in Thailand. Of course, not only local residents, but also visiting tourists resort to its services quite often. The company has excellent coverage, guaranteeing uninterrupted access to the Internet and telephony. Not long ago, the company rebranded, and now it is more correct to call it “True Move H”. Therefore, if a sign with the letter “H” is visible in a shopping center or on the street, then this store is a representative office of one of the most popular operators in Thailand.

As is the case with other companies, True Move has a limit on the validity of SIM cards. It all depends on the chosen tariff. The more expensive it is, the longer you can use communication services. However, there is always the opportunity to top up the balance, after which the SIM card will continue to work.

Features of True Move tariffs:

• Calls to Russia – 4-5 baht/min.
• Conversations in Thailand – 1 baht/min.
• Free Wi-Fi in the “ [email protected] TrueMove H” and “ [email protected] TRUEWIFI” networks.

Roaming does not apply in Thailand. Therefore, the cost of calls to any city in the country is the same.

The mobile operator has its own application, which is available in the Play Market and App Store. You need to enter the name “True iService”, after which the program will be instantly found.

Payment Methods

To replenish your balance safely, you should use the official website or another convenient replenishment method:

• Mobile app.
• ATMs and terminals.
• Internet banking.
• Payment systems.
• Specialized salons or banks.
• Electronic wallets (Web wallet, Eleksnet, Qiwi Wallet).

The most convenient way is to set up automatic payment. Connection is free. The subscriber receives a 10% bonus on top of the payment amount. In this case, the user is not charged a commission and does not need to pay a monthly fee. If necessary, you can take the promised payment (*122*1#) or make a mobile transfer (*145#).

Additional Information

If you cannot use the services yourself for some reason, it is recommended to use the help desk by number. You can also go to the company office with your passport. Services in the country are provided by Beeline. If, when moving, the operator did not change automatically, you need to select the network yourself in the device settings.

Before leaving, it is advisable to have a sufficient amount of money on your balance. You can check using the combination *105#. The operation is carried out free of charge.
