Elevate care to keep True and dtac customers connected during the general election on May 14. True Corporation kicks off emergency communication readiness across the country.
May 13, 2023 – True Corporation has elevated mobile and home internet communications measures for both True and dtac customers in preparation for the possible impact of cyclone Mocha. The Meteorological Department recently forecasted for the cyclone to impact Thailand between 13-16 May. A key date for Thailand is 14 May when the General Election is being organized and thus a large number of people are expected to mobilize requiring access to communications that will be satisfied with special care across Thailand.
The latest update from the Meteorological Department stated that Cyclone Mocha will impact Thailand between 13-15 May producing continuous rain with heavy rain expected in parts of the north, northeast, central, and Bangkok metropolitan, and especially heavy rain on the east which may result in flash floods through 16 May.
True and dtac are committed to providing seamless communications for True and dtac subscribers and have been closely monitoring the weather forecast for possible impacts on service even before Cyclone Mocha began.
Mr. Prathet Tankuranun, Chief Technology Officer, True Corporation PLC, said, “We are committed to keeping True Move H and dtac subscribers connected in any condition across all of Thailand. We have deployed a contingency mobile and home internet team on stand-by 24 hours a day ready to address any situations that may arise from the impact of Cyclone Mocha for both True and dtac customers.”
