Thailand and Laos mobile networks have been ordered to restrict their mobile
phone coverage along the border between the two countries to prevent accidental
roaming onto foreign networks by customers.
The two countries regulators agreed a policy that limits phone signals so
that they do not penetrate the other country by more than 1km in urban areas and
2km in rural areas.
The main problem was due to stronger signals from Laos based networks
drowning out the weaker Thai network signals along the border resulting mainly
in Thai nationals being charged for calls made on Laos networks, even when
inside Thailand.
"The limits of the signal level for Lao mobile phone users transmitting
across the border are weak, so mobile phones in Thailand will not be
automatically switched (to receive the signal from Laos)," NBTC
Commissioner Prawit Leesatapornwongsa announced.
Thailand has a similar agreement with Malaysia in the south of the country.
