3G services could be offered via SMS messages, says NBTC

The big three operators may be allowed to execute an over-the-air SMS campaign to promote their new third-generation (3G) mobile services, says the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).

Advanced Info Service (AIS), Total Access Communication (DTAC) and True Move in May plan to start sending SMS messages to their existing 2G customers.

The alerts are aimed at convincing customers to move to new 3G services on the international-standard 2.1-gigahertz frequency.

    I hope that the company I use, DTAC, would sort out what language to send me messages in. Sometimes I receive them in English and sometimes in Thai. I have no idea how they decide that and staff I've asked haven't a clue. Receiving information about 3G in a language I and many other expats can read would be nice.
