If you have an old 1-2-call! SIM, you might need to have it exchanged at any AIS office. Old SIMs don't support 3G.

If I remember correctly,

AIS: 900MHz, 1800MHz

DTAC: 850MHz, 1800MHz

TRUE: 850MHz, 1800MHz

TOT: 1900MHz, 2100MHz

and all these 4 providers provide 3G

I would use a "Double Sim Cable" or a "Triple Sim Cable" with which you could insert two or three sim cards respectively. However, only one SIM works at a time.

Thanks! And yes, I check updates regularly, but I beleive there wasn't any updates for "inote" before ios5 was released.

Now I realized something: the Calender on my iphone 4 doesn't work in the way it should after I installed ios5. Actually, some of my friends also noticed some kind of bugs, too. It looks like my device now eats more battery than before.

I finally succeeded in updating after I deleted one memo-taking application called inote. It seems the application is not supported by ios5 because I don't find it on itune store anymore. It had stopped synchronizing a few months before so it took me five hours to move all the data in my inote onto another application.

However, a friend mine told me he could update with this inote still installed on his device, all the data on his inote was wiped off after updating though.

Sorry I DID find some posts but nothing - including disabling firewalls and virus protection- worked. Thanks for your attention. :jap:

Well, the pop up says "Error -5000. Back up failure. Everything on your phone will be lost if you continue." I can't find anything about Error -5000 on web sites. I guess I have to give up.

Hi, there. I've been trying to update my ios4 on my iPhone4 to ios5 for almost 2 weeks but no success. Everytime I try, a warning pops up saying, "Error -5000. Everything on your phone will be lost if you continue." So I give up. I have a back-up on my PC, but I don't really want to go through long tiring recovery. Besides, some things won't be copied on to my PC as a backup.

Does anyone know what to do? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I was wondering about the same thing. Although I will probably not come until after one month or so. I guess that by that time things should have slightly come back to normal, unless something unexpected happens? I would also be interested in knowing if CM is still pretty much the same as it was 1,5 years ago. No important changes or issues I should know about?

1.5 years ago, Meter taxies used their meters, at least when you leave the airport for downtown after paying 50B at the counter, but they don't anymore. Fixed fare now.

It's happening here in Japan, too. Some of them even brought their iPhone 4 to an Apple Store in Tokyo, had their phones and SIM cards exchanged twice, but after updating at home then at the store, it happened again.Technicians (if there are any ) at the Apple Store couldn't do anything about it. The exchanged ( old ) SIM cards worked perfectly fine on other phones.

I myself have been having a problem updating since yeasterday. "Error -5000" comes up on the screen every time I try to update. I've given up.

I totally agree that AIS has an unfriendly half-finished Website and I assume they are not going to change that style, because they haven't changed it ever since they started the website. However I've never had any bad experiences with AIS here in ChiangMai. I've been an AIS customer since 1997 and a 1-2-call user since 2003. I usually go to their head office in ChiangMai and people working there are all helpfull. They sometimes even help me with things usual Thai works would not offer a help with. So I guess it depends on which office you visit. Nowadays they have a foreign customer-counter where you can actually get yourself understood in English.

3G phones do work on Softbank and Docomo, not sure about AU. Almost impossible for non-resident to get a pay as you go phone. I think the main reason is because the police considered them too hard to track as these were the phones of choice for drug dealers and other criminal types.

I am not even sure if those phones are still sold. But Japan has finally decided to join the world and this year they will export some of their android based phones to the US. I think the phones are made by Sharpe.

Have fun!

Japan have been having 3G for almost ten years. So as for 3G, the world has finally joined this new techonology. AU uses a difference frequency band so useless.

Without registration as a resident, there's no way you can buy a pay as you go phone unless you have a contact underworld. 3G phones, Android phones and Iphones are available anywhere in Japan but they are all SIM-locked. Docomo has announced they are going to sell unlocked phones (You have pay about 40 dollars more at their counters.), but it seems you have to wait another one month or so.

Thanks, sambosoul.

What you said about black and white has given me new angles to reconsider it. Besides, I have to get one before my old Samsung dies, which is likely to happen very soon.

And, come to think of it, I never wear a white T-shirt while in Thailand for some obvious reasons. Black might not be a bad idea at all.

Thanks, nikster.

I will ask around at AIS, DTAC and TRUE first. Now I wonder if I should buy black one or wait for white to be available....

Even if I decide to buy one at Siam TV, I will check the serial numbers first.

Well, if I knew exactly when it would go on sale and be available without waiting for months, I would.

Could anyone please tell me:

1) if I can buy an iphone4 at AIS, DTAC or TRUE on the spot in Chiangmai or in BKK?

2) If iphone4 white are all sold out in Thailand?

Next time I come to Thailand, I would like to buy one, hopefully, white.
