^^ In English?

If you're referring to the text message and assuming it's the same as I received, it's in Thai and says you have until 31 July to register.

All my text messages from AIS are in English and have been for all the years I've been here. It was activated by AIS many years ago by a simple phone call.

Mobile owners: Register it or lose it

Prepaid mobile phone customers must register their personal information with the National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission (NBTC), under a proposal approved by cabinet Wednesday.

Deputy government spokesman Maj Gen Sansern Kaewkamnerd said cabinet had agreed in principle to NBTC’s scheme to order customers to register with the NBTC for security reasons.

Customers are required to register within six months of the measure being approved, or they will no longer be able to use mobile services.

The NBTC launched a registration programme under a national telecom regulator circular on Feb 1. So far, about 1.4 million users have registered.

The cabinet also has agreed to let the NBTC track the telephone usage of prepaid customers if they fail to register, he said.

Did it today at our local AIS store, she punched a code into my phone, took a photo of my passport and sent it off somewhere. Time taken: 30 seconds.

Giving this thread a bump for anyone(like me ) who hasn't registered their mobile yet.

Deadline is today.

20 million so far not registered.

remember all of a SIM card's previous nefarious activity will be retroactively assigned to the owners name.
and a huge matrix of previously unidentified individuals will be linked to god knows what communications.

so i am not surprised that people are walking away from their old SIM cards in this country.

What on earth have you been getting up to with your SIM card that makes you so worried???

That was a useful reminder- I just checked and was advised my sim was not registered, even though my wife and I did ours at the same shop at the same time and hers is registered - TIT!!

This is probably too late, but if you are not in Thailand, you can get someone else to register for you, just take a photo of the SIM card and the person at the other end can secure registration.
