    Do AIS or True Or DTAC allow hotspot tethering at no cost?

    I am having a TV ClareQuilty day with wireless technology not cars.

    Do any of Thai mobile operators give free tethering? Ie the ability to use a smart phone as a wireless hotspot?

    tethering is gratis, thats not something they can control or charge
    You will of course pay for the data you use frrom them

    What is it you don't understand?
    Unlimited data is not gratis, it is paid for.
    You can do what the fuck you want with it, use it only in your cellphone or distribute it to your other computers by making the cellphone a hotspot.
    Unlimited is unlimited no matter how you use it.

    Step 1: Buy a SIM card (pre-paid or post paid) [49 baht?]
    Step 2: Register said SIM card
    Step 3: Pay for a data package (more data, more money)
    Step 4: Use the data however you want. [Air card, tethering, whatever. There's no extra charge for tethering a phone and using the data]

    Top up or pay monthly as required.

    Where?
    "Unlimited" dtac is 750MB at 42Mbps speed and after 750MB usage the speed
    will be 384Kbps. Unlimited is just bollox, 384Kbps is very limited.
    The other operators has similar or worser deals.

    If you want unlimited then you'll have to cash up much much more than 299 baht..

    If you're uploading/downloading loads of stuff might be an issue but for simple Internet connectivity I.e emails teak door etc here in bkk all providers offer that at around the 300 mark

    How much 3G data you get depends on how much you pay. With DTAC, 299 baht gives you 2.5GB at fast speeds but more is available for more money. See here:

    What fekkin loads of stuff, 750MB is one CD, not a DVD and far from a blue-ray.
    It is nothing for gods sake and they call it unlimited, its a joke and the joke is on the user buying into it.

    but to answer the original question once more:
    whatever data you have paid for can be shared to other computers without any extra cost.

    It is still equivalent to nothing and they charge an arm and a leg if you want anything more than that.

    9 GB for 699 baht
    12GB for 799 baht

    384 Kbps speed once the high speed allowance is used up. AIS and DTAC are similar.

    For really heavy data usage like downloading movies, fixed line ADSL is what you need. Obviously 3G isn't suitable for that, either speed-wise or cost-wise.
