    Temporary Sim Cards

    Was just wondering if it is possible to get a temporary sim card for my mobile phone? I will be in Thailand this summer and want to be able to use my mobile. I cannot use the sim from China (too expensive and not worth it)...so I was hoping that it is possible to buy a prepaid one.

    Anyone know if this is possible?

    Thanks

    Re: Temporary Sim Cards

    So I can simply buy a sim card for 300THB and I will have that much credit? Or I buy the sim card and then put credit on it? I have never done this before...What is the current rate per minute of talk time? Do you have to pay for incoming calls? Or does it just depend on which sim card you buy?

    Thank you.

    fency, you can google any of this shit up. 300 baht buys you the sim and time. You figure out which on you want on your own okay.

    ok, when I have done this before I had to buy the simcard for 2-300, can't remember, but the calltime was extra. the shop asst will set it all up for you.
    you might need your phone unlocking as well, but this can be done at mbk and other places.

    As for mbk - there are a couple of very helpful chaps in safari suits outside who will be happy to help you with anything you want.

    They tend to hang out in between the spirit house and the comatose dog, and are clearly firm believers in the efficacy of brylcreem.

    They can find busses for Ko Samet too. And by all means have them show you the gem shops and a couple of bars in Patpong. 45000 baht gone is 10 minutes. haha
    That is the true genius of America, a faith in the simple dreams of its people, the insistence on small miracles. That we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door. That we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe or hiring somebody's son. That we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution, and that our votes will be counted -- or at least, most of the time. --Barack Obama, 2004 Democratic Convention
