What's a good sim card that's more phone call friendly than data friendly

How much data comes with a plan is a bonus, for me the most important thing is I need to be making phone calls back to Australia on a regular basis

About 100 minutes and 30 days should be sufficient

Please advise

 

If you use the links above your post. In the DTAC tourist sim a call to Australia is 6THB the minute. There are currently no packages for international calls (at DTAC)

So its 599 Baht for the card and if I whack another say 500 Baht for calls (works out to about 83 minutes) it should cost me a total of 1099 Baht, this is using DTAC as an example

Does that sound like the right way to go about it

I had another way of setting up my phone overseas, it cost $25 AUD for the SIM and I added another $50 AUD for calls, but they don't offer this service anymore in Australia

599 is only for 15 days. So you would need 599 + 599 + 500 = 1698 THB = 69 AUD
Also it is limited to 15GB (in total not daily or something).

Better way to do it. Get the small card and upgrade net usage with promotion. It also extends your sim-card with every refill:
(Prepaid promo page: https://www.dtac.co.th/en/dtac-promotion/packages/netunlimited.html?bnid=20150708794)
299 + 374 (2mbit/s) + 500 (calls) = 1173 THB = 47 AUD
299 + 695 (4mbit/s) + 500 (calls) = 1494 THB = 60 AUD

A good deal if you don't mind a bit of overpaying:
299 + 900 (10mbit/s 90 days) + 500 (calls) = 1699 THB = 68 AUD

The tourist sim is basically a prepaid sim card.

Lets say I chose this option

When paying the 2nd lot of 599, do I keep the same number or do they give me another number and the phone call credit just gets rolled over 

Like I said, I don't care how much data I get, for me its all about making phone calls

I'm going to Thailand for the ladies, not to surf the net

You need to extend it before the time is up, then you keep everything. You can download the dtac app from the stores and refill your account

That works well for me, by the time I arrive in BKK, that will be  the 14th day of use

I assume there is a DTAC shop in T21 were I can update the SIM

Thanks for all your help expot
