Can someone you or some bro pls confirmed the validility of these pre-paid card ?

I think about 3 months is right.

Yes it has an expire date, the reason for an expire date is if the sim card is not used for a certain period, the operator will assume the owner is not using it anymore, so that the operator can recycle the particular mobile number. Most of the perpaid card in this world has expiry date.

For Dtac cards, the more you top up the longer the validity date. MIne was extended til april next year when I topped up 1000bht. It has nothing to do with the usage of the card leh.....

Bro if u top up the card within the expiry date of cos it will extend. This indirectly telling the operator u r still using it. Y not u try not to top up for 6 mths n c whether it expires, if not then I change to Dtac...

thks for all the valuable info that all bros had given.

if my memory serve me rite,
during my last trip to LOS, i found out that my sim card expiry date with credit is actually shorter compare to a no credit sim card.

if u notice, different value of top up card will have a specfic no of days.
example,
100bht-10 days 1000bht-30days
lets say ur sim card expire on 1-Jan-2004 and u are back in LOS on 1-feb 2004. ur card expire by 30 days. juz buy top up card to "top up" the no of expire days.
