Can anyone tell me with reasonable accuracy whether I can expect to reactivate my old SIM with the same number as I had last year.?? This question has been dealt with before, most recently that I can find in 2011. Things change so quickly in Thailand it's hard to keep up with current procedures. There was a 7 month gap between my 2011 and 2012 trips, and the number was valid for both visits. This year will be a 10 months gap.
When I returned to Oz last year, it appears Optus and DTAC have some sort of sharing arrangement because I received a "welcome to Australia" message from Optus and continued to receive Thai offers and txt messages (from DTAC) for about 3 months at which time they ceased and I surmised either DTAC or Optus had given up on me using the number again.
I originally (2011) got my SIM at the air-port from the DTAC booth. In 2012 upon arrival I went to the booth and topped up with no apparent problem.
I hate change (odd for a Thailand visitor I know) so I'm curious if anyone can enlighten me as to whether I can expect to retain the same number this year??
