Next, I will introduce the differences between different operators selling calling cards one by one, so that you can choose not to make mistakes!
Telephone cards of different operators
Three major phone card operators in Thailand
AIS(one-2-call card)
AIS is one of the three major telephone card operators in Thailand, but compared with the other two operators, the promotion of AIS is relatively small, and its popularity in China is not as loud as that of the other two, so it is a minority choice for tourism.
The telephone card package that AIS is selling now has a price of 299 baht.
The 299 baht calling card package specifically includes:
1.8 days of unlimited Internet access (automatically included, the first 2.5GB high-speed 4G Internet access+over 2.5G slow down to 2G network speed, after the slow down, you can still access the Internet within a limited time, and the 2G traffic is unlimited);

DtacHappy card
Happy card is much more popular than AIS one-2-call, which is due to Dtac's proper marketing strategy, which makes it more famous in China. However, if we really talk about the 4G band, Dtac has lost to AIS and Truemove.
Happy is also selling a 299 baht calling card package.
The package content specifically includes:
1.8 days of unlimited Internet access (automatically included, the first 2.5GB high-speed 4G Internet access+over 2.5G slow down to 2G network speed, after the slow down, you can still access the Internet within a limited time, and the 2G traffic is unlimited);

Happy card
TruemoveH calling card
TruemoveH is in the lead among these three companies, and now it can be said that it is faintly ahead, not only in terms of package, but also in terms of technology.
You know, when you buy phone cards in Thailand, most of them are for traffic, so speed and coverage are very important.
First of all, in terms of 4G speed, truemoveH is the first operator in Thailand to enter the 4G field, and has seized the opportunity in the 4G era. In 2017, it was also approved by the Singapore authority Frost&
Sullivan judges the best consulting and communication technology provider in the Asia-Pacific region.
Secondly, in terms of coverage, truemove
H is the only operator in Thailand with 850/900/1800/2100Mhz in the 4G band, and higher network coverage is a visible advantage. You know, with one more network band, the signal coverage is much stronger.
Finally, TruemoveH also has a very advantageous TrueWifi, which can be connected and used as long as the signal can be found in Thailand, which is really convenient.
Comparison of 4G bands of different operators
The TruemoveH card has a regular calling card (299 baht) package and a brand new discount calling card OK card (299 baht).
These two prices seem to be the same, but the brand-new OK card is much more cost-effective, even better than AIS and Dtac calling cards.
Package included in regular calling card TruemoveH card:
1.8 days of unlimited Internet access (automatically included, the first 2.5GB high-speed 4G Internet access+over 2.5G slow down to 2G network speed, after the slow down, you can still access the Internet within a limited time, and the 2G traffic is unlimited);

3. Answering in Thailand is free.
Speed comparison of different operators

Disadvantages: Apart from the same price as the other two, there is really not much to be picky about the internet speed.
Usage: Arrive in Thailand → Turn off cellular/mobile data → Turn it off → Insert card → Turn it on → Receive SMS → Automatically activate → Turn on cellular/mobile data → You can use it (Android and Mac can automatically activate).

The truemoveH card supported by Zhengda Group can be selected if it is worry-free, efficient and convenient.
2/3G coverage is the strongest AIS in Thailand. If you travel to Gala, you can try it, but don't expect too much network speed.
