Good news for those using prepaid sim card users.
Quote from part of Bangkok Post Business News (NBTC finally hands out 3G licences.)
Commissioner Prawit Leesathapornwongsa insisted that mobile operators must no longer set an expiration date for prepaid mobile service or face a fine of 100,000 baht a day.
The new regulation governing validity of mobile refill cards are in compliance with the Central Administrative Court's ruling last month, he said.
Earlier, True Move filed a petition with the court to appeal the NBTC's finding, but the court dismissed the petition.
The Telecom Service Regulation Act of 2006 prohibits prepaid refill cards from expiring, and AIS, DTAC, True Move, TOT and CAT Telecom will be forced to comply strictly with the new rule.
Refill card validity has varied from 30 days to one year.
Subscribers not using up all the call value within the allotted period have had to top up their cards if they wanted to continue using the service regardless of the leftover call value.
