it appears that if using AIS 1-2-Call and you go up along the Mekong for some reason the Spam SMS seem to start up again.... Perhaps roaming out and back into the AIS system again.??

ok, paid my DTAC bill (562 baht) and confirmed that I haven't been charged for those spam sms.

they did block those sms's per request via computer........will have to see how that works out. though haven't rec'd a spam sms since.

talked to the supervisor and she gave me a card with that *137 number, but couldn't fully explain how to use it....so handed her my phone to use the *137 number as a backup.

if you are with AIS, go to http://www.ais.co.th/en/index.html
click on service
log in with your mobile number (and your driving licence number if your not yet registered) and then choose
"other services -> "SMS Preference/Cancellation"
there you can configure how sms will be treated by ais.
easy to use and it will make the trick!

Doing my DTAC pay-as-you-go monthly 299 baht data package renewal and always wondered where the balance of my monthly 400 baht top up goes. Looking at my history using their app, I see 10.7 baht "wallpaper" deducted pretty much daily (see below). I don't get any spam SMS on the service but I do get DTAC promo and "coin" messages almost daily which I ignore. I have just opted to turn off all notifications in the app to see if it stops the nonsense. The SIM is used for data only and has never had a voice package.

I was paying around that. Went to another vendor and told DTAC that I had a much cheaper alternative and wanted to port my number to True. Stayed with DTAC now but only pay 360 per month.
I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani
