The process went Fill out online application with new provider. Couple of days later received SIM from new provider in the mail. Couple of days later received SMS from old provider asking if I authorised the switch. Reply YES or NO. Replied YES. Couple of hours later network connection to old provider lost. Inserted SIM from new provider in phone. All up and going. The point is, at least in Oz, you need a new SIM from the new provider. How they will organise that in Thailand I have no idea. I assume that your current SIM is appropriately registered. 1

misteregg Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Larry, I did this process a few years ago.Can’t remember the details but it was very quick. It involved a trip to the shop of the network I was leaving and then buying a new sim from the new network and requesting the transfer.Took less than 24 hours.
