SIM card

[kdfan 132]

I never have gotten a SIM card in Thailand.  I plan on getting a 15 day card.  My question is when you get a card, does it include a local phone number?

Thanks

Yes it does.

there are a number of shops just as you exit suvarnabhumi airport and they have tourist packages.

Why not buy an E-Sim? If you have a newer phone you can buy these online.

DTAC do a 15 day unlimited data, texts and local calls for $19.95 USD

Airalo have an app which you can buy the E Sim or online in the website.

E-Sim requires your phone to be unlocked.  Mine is locked.

If it's locked to a network , will it work with a Thai Sim card?

I got an older phone that is 4G which is good enough but it is too old for e-sim

Dtac has been good for me and you can keep the number alive for one year for 30 baht even if you don't use it or top up. Once you come back, you just add another 8-15 days unlimited package or whatever. So you keep the same number always.
