Using An Unlocked iPhone In Thailand

If you want to avoid stratospheric data roaming charges while in Thailand, here's what you should do: go to the AIS store at BKK airport & buy a pre-paid SIM card for 400 Baht + 999 Baht for unlimited data for a month. (Roughly USD 40 in total)

They will activate the SIM card for you and everything should be working after 5 mins. Internet connection works with any unlocked iPhone.

There is no 3G in Thailand (only in very limited areas actually) but EDGE works fine.
No APN configuration required. It just works out of the box!

Mail, web browsing, iPhone apps, Exchange connectivity: they all work!

Hope this helps others!

Heavenly Moments On Earth

For us mere mortals, touching the divine is more of an abstract notion than anything else. There are, however, rare and precious times when one can get a glimpse of what an existence full of bliss can be. In my opinion, the above picture is an accurate representation of that concept. Don't hesitate to meditate on it and, in the process, drop by a local Burger King to have a Double Whopper with Cheese for me.
