Mobile Phones

[northsink]

Hi all, will be back in Pattaya for new year, and am wondering is it worthwhile to take my mobile to phone home or will it be better to buy a cheap phone and sim card there????

 

Best Regards to all

If you already have an unlocked, Tri/Quad band phone, bring it and just buy a SIM card to get your new phone number. Otherwise, pick up a new or used phone at MBK in BKK or Big C or Tuk Com in Pattaya.

If you took your mobile to Thailand, but did not want anyone calling you and finding out you were there, am I right in thinking that you take the sim card out before landing in LOS and for extra security wrapping it in silver foil. It does sound like an old wife's tale to me.

sounds like an urban myth to me
