Bobbynasty Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Are we talking basic signal or can I get a 3G, 4G, LTE signal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dps Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 If you haven't already done so, register on the sister forum Pattaya Addicts, then go read this thread: http://www.pattaya-addicts.com/forum/topic/233012-t-mobile-simple-choice-plan-usa/?hl=tmobile&do=findComment&comment=2696440 Generally positive reports from the members who've used it in Thailand, good signal in Bangkok and Pattaya, only downside is slow data speeds.

Jake.houston Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It works just fine. Takes a minute or two to register once you land in LOS but after that you are good to go. Data is listed to be 256kbs but I regularly found it to be above that speed. Faster than Edge and normally 3G or faster. I got better speeds on my Android devices than I did on the IOS phones. That could be due to the prevalent bands used in the LOS radios. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not yet but I've been thinking about it lately. Seems like a lot of the good quality posts are over there. It works just fine.

Very good to know, I was a little worried but knowing that saves me from having to buy a burner phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikaika001 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I only used my T-Mobile phone for "talk" and "text" in Bangkok and Chiang Mai and the signal is very good. Signal probably better than in the states because you are using Thai networks with better signal coverage or at least better than what I have in the states. I use a cheap phone with Thai SIM card for all in-country calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voids.sleet Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I took over a UK T-mobile sim last time i went, just used it for phonecalls as i found a lot of the places i went to had free wifi. It's costly though, I'm personally taking the same sim but also considering getting a Thai sim while i am there. i think it was something stupid like £1 or £1.50 a minute if your phoning home, i ended up using skype over the wifi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was .20 cents a minute to call home. The unlimited international data is the real winner in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock@BKK Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Overall mobile signal quality is very good in bangkok and Pattaya.
