To ensure seamless service, we have enabled cross-carrier roaming between True and dtac 5G and 4G networks covering all 77 provinces of Thailand well ahead of the Songkran festival. This gives True and dtac subscribers confidence our services after the amalgamation will be better. Moreover, we deploy additional personnel to inspect network quality in major tourist hotspots to ensure that our customers have the best possible digital experience.”
