Advice: get local Thai SIM card for Line

[monoceros]

Just advice for anyone going to Thailand soon.

Don't just use your roaming, get a Thai SIM card at the airport, then register Line in Thailand.

Currently Line doesn't accept registrations from Singapore phone numbers. if you maintained Line app for a long time, didn't change phone etc then it might work for you, but generally if you freshly installed Line you cannot register your SG number.

You can technically install the app and add contacts, but the contacts will not be able to read your messages. So sometimes if you think people are ignoring you, it's actually because they didn't receive your message.

If you install the app once in Thailand, with Thai SIM and register then you can send messages normally.

Can confirm existing Line users on SG numbers not affected. Still chatting with some ladies

New LINE registrations seems will come with restrictions.
LINE is very bastard on this as they try to prevent scam and spam as well as indiscriminate adding of contacts.
I think if you want to immediately able to chat with another person, you have to ask the other party to add you first.
Otherwise, the restrictions can be as long as more than 90days.

You also can easily get a esim from arialo, it comes with an Thai number and you can do it even before you arrive
