Guess u are outdated....
Getting a post paid is easy as ABC. All u need is ID for local (can't roam and IDD) and credit card for foreigner. U dun even need work permit.
Why local use prepaid or should say why in our region except SG, prepaid is popular?
Reasons,
1) Tariff almost the same for post and pre paid.
2) Post paid, monthly there is a fixed amount you have to pay.
3) Pre paid, as long there is credit you can receive incoming free. This is good for poor workers and students.
4) Pre paid, you can top up as little as 10 baht to extend your sim card expiry date while still enjoy incoming free.
5) Pre paid, it is easier to throw away the current sim card and get another. Thus you can dump anyone, you want to discontinue contacting.
6) Post paid, you have to go thru the customer service to get a new mobile no.
7) Higher percent of mobile users in Thailand dun bother about data, roaming and other services. They just want to make and receive call, pre paid does this well.
To the Telco, pre paid = collect money first. Dun bother whether you use or dun, thus they will make pre paid as attractive as post paid.
