The operator has allocated 200 million baht ($5.7 million) this year towards marketing the Dtac prepaid brand.
Dtac has also introduced plans offering unlimited internet access and free calls within Dtac networks for 29 baht ($0.83) per day.
Prepaid customers will also be offered free YouTube streaming from midnight to 8am and 24 hour music streaming.
Around 80% of Dtac’s 25.5 million subscribers are prepaid customers, with the wide majority using the operator’s 3G network, statistics provided by the company show. Around 68% of Dtac’s prepaid customers own a smartphone.
