The phone hops around onto all three networks (AIS, DTAC, True). On True, I have no data or sometimes very slow (as to be unusable) data. AIS is marginally better. DTAC works best but sometimes even trying to force the phone onto DTAC with manual carrier selection results in "No service". Also no matter which network I am on, SMS does not work reliably either inbound or outbound.
Fortunately my phone is unlocked and I bought a local SIM card. I plan to ask TMO to refund at least part of my high speed data pass when I get back.
You do know you can choose which carrier you use in settings? I just found this out a few weeks ago and the difference between the two was like night and day (iPhone)
