Thread: no telephone...what are my options.

If it is sorted out with the shop owner...then go for it while you wait for your own number
When you go buy a router ...try buying one with wirelss,then you can try out the wireless and if that don't work you can stick the cat5e cable in the back of the router and run it to your house....I would go for a Linksys router they make pretty good stuff and are fair easy to setup......
Back on work we use a linksys router from getting internet from tha charterers office down to the ship.....we use a linksys and it pretty stable need to be restarted now then thats all....only make sure if you use the wireless option both antennas will have to be in line of sight.....oh and don't forget to secure your network...

I've been through two linksys routers in Thailand. They don't like dirty power supplies or the heat.

Not much better though.

60m is a fair old distance for him to setup though. Getting the line of sight sorted is the trickiest part. Although with a wireless PCI card it should be quite easy to put an extended antenna on it too outside.

Well what happened?

How is the connection

After all those questions you haven't said anything more about it.

Totally ungrateful you are.

I have been makinging do with my dtac mobile connection which works surprisingly well for just browsing.

Alas, I can not live without my torrents and the techie dude is coming out tomorrow morning to try and sort it out.

I will let you know of my progress.

thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the help.

So the techie dude will try to arrange a wireless connection to the shop for you, or do you have some other solution planned?

this might actually not be necessary as I met a guy this morning in the garage up the road who is possibly willing to sell me his number.

sorry hadn't seen the last page

You can use Nokia N Series (N70 is the cheapest about ฿7000+) and ask the phone company either Dtec, True orAIS for GPRS add on service (Dtec charge 350 for 100 hours) and you can log on, using your cellphone as a modem, anywhere cellphone connection is available. I myself alway trevel with Nokia N73 and a notebook throughout the country.
