Installing and using a Thailand SIM card is easy. First, make sure that your mobile phone is unlocked. Then, simply switch your current SIM card for the Thai-SIM card either before you leave for your trip or on arrival in Thailand.

When you need to refill your card you can purchase a refill card at one of thousands of retail centers found all over Thailand. By doing this you will save over 85% on roaming charges over your current mobile operator and have a local number while traveling in Thailand.

Yes, all incoming calls in Thailand are FREE! Unlike using your current mobile service provider that charges a premium 'Roaming' fee for recieving calls in another country - your incoming calls are all FREE no matter where they originate. Your Thailand SIM cards balance is never charged for incoming calls. The only time you are charged for calls using your Thailand SIM is when making outgoing calls. Even then, the rates you pay are a fraction of the 'Roaming' fees charged by mobile carriers outside of Thailand.
Thailand SIM cards will work in every mobile phone that accepts SIM cards, as long as the phone is unlocked. To check to see if you mobile phone is unlocked, simply replace the SIM card in your phone with a different carriers SIM in your home country. If it works, then your phone is unlocked. If it doesn't work - don't worry. You can unlock your mobile phone by calling your current carrier and requesting your phone be unlocked or visit an independent mobile phone shop that will unlock your phone for approximately $5 - $10.
