Wow John when did you become a thai speaker - well done mate 
seriously - I thought it was the end of the year ????
I did mine a couple of weeks ago at Telewiz in the complex (3rd floor huge shop) they did not want any id or anything - just a simple form which they fill in your number and ur name - thats about it (I am AIS (1-2-call) ) and thats where the ladies in the phone shops downstairs told me to go.

Hope they wait until we arrive on 6th Dec!!Apparently - you are supposed to register all mobile phone sim cards in thailand before the end of the year (or earlier if Wombat is correct)
This is to stop you using your phone to blow up a bomb in the South.
They say that if you do not register your sim by this time, you will be permanently disconnected.
Some cynical people would say there are other reasons for doing it - especially as a certain person owns one of the largest phone companies in Thailand - and this kind of information would be of great use to him Names addresses and service provider - but of course that is just what other people say ! how would I know ?

Hmm, seems like they are the ones used:!: Figures, why would you use your own 
, oh well another thing I don't need to worry about 
Re: Mobile phone registration
If someone can confirm the date please post here. I have a AIS card with 817 baht still on it that doesn't expire until Dec 22. I arrive at Don Muang on the 18th so I was going to get a 50 baht recharge in the airport to keep in going and register the card the next day. Guess I should have done it before I left last time.wokkawombat wrote:Going by the adverts on Thai TV it seems 15 Nov is the cut off day.
John
Think they'll let the wife do it for me if I send her the S/N of the card?
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck
I sent an email to the AIS (1-2-Call) service center and asked them aobut my SIM card possibly expiring in November. The Nov deadline is just for the 3 southernmost providences otherwise the deadline is 31 Dec. I guess I'm safe and have tome to get my card registered.
Here is the email response from them
