Many people switch to a lucky mobile number to enhance their fortune, for personal reasons, or for business purposes. However, not every number suits everyone. Each person's birth date & time affect their fortune, so selecting a lucky number involves more than just finding a visually appealing or numerically balanced one. It's crucial to consider your birth date to ensure the number truly aligns with you.
Once you've chosen your lucky number, switching to it involves a few important steps. You'll need to update various accounts and services linked to your old number. To make it easier, we've prepared this guide. Let's see what you need to update and how to do it.
Everything linked to your old number needs to be updated, especially banking services. Failing to update your number could cause issues with financial transactions. We recommend converting your old number to a prepaid package and keeping the SIM in a spare phone. This way you can still receive OTPs and verification codes until all services are updated. Once you're sure everything is covered, you can safely deactivate the old number.
Ready? Let's go through the checklist together...
First, activate your new number. The easiest way to update your number is by visiting your preferred bank branch with your passbook and original ID card.
Inform the bank of the number change. There are now several channels to do this, but you generally still need to submit a form at a branch. For example:
Processing takes 3-5 business days. For more details, visit www.krungsri.com

You need to update both your contact number and the number for receiving OTPs and SMS notifications. It's best to update your credit card database number first by contacting the bank's call center or visiting a branch. Then, update your OTP online.
For example, with Kasikorn Bank: Call the K-Contact Center at 0 2888 8888. Press 1 for Thai language, then press 5, followed by 0. After updating your number, go to kasikornbank.com to change the OTP number: Select "Register for Service" > Choose "Online Services Registration" Select "Verified by VISA" for credit cards > Update your information.
*If you can’t access your old number to receive the OTP, contact Apple Support for further assistance at 001-800-65-6957 (Mon-Fri, 8.00 AM - 6.00 PM).
Bring your original and a copy of your ID card and SIM card to any dtac hall. You need to cancel the old number, clear any outstanding bills, and choose a new number there.
