YES... I am. Believe me. Note4: I could explain why. But, I think you might not have the time.... Anyway, suffice to say..... During this past week, I have had such a distasteful experience that.... If I ever hear the name Samsung....I might upchuck, for sure. Thankfully, there are still the Korean girls which do not totally turn me off...however.... BUT..... I will never buy another Samsung phone....Also, my FING Samsung refrigerator, the one I liked, is no longer getting cold enough.... And, if you watch these Korean girls.... You will soon tire of them, too....soon enough...... KOREA? North and South.... All the same to me. They are one people, after all.... And, you can have them....if you will. So....Enjoy..... After a few hours of them.... You NEVER WANT TO SEE THEM..... Again!

NO NO NO I am off the phone gag.....forever..... (I am not joking. I am OFF Apple and Win OS, already.....)

Sorry. You might not understand/may have misunderstood my meaning.... I want to FING Free myself from all smartphones...not just Samsung and Apple. Got it? Note: But, thank you very much for the link you posted, which I did appreciate....

Right. If so.... Then, presumably..... One should be able to use LINE and WeChat on the desktop....just as if one were using a phone.... Is this correct? I have no idea. Tks. (Not to mention, of course, that one should be able to use the computer to make calls on Dtac, just as if one were using a phone....right?))

Which is the best. I have tried to use one bank's application, but found it quite difficult. No point in naming the bank. But, which banks in Thailand make internet banking easiest? Let us say that one might not wish to use internet banking via a Phone App. Then, which might be best if one were using a PC? Any good ideas based on several years of experience? Just asking.... Tks.

All I can say is this: I would rather DIE, other than to visit another Samsung store in Thailand. And....by extrapolation...... I say.... FU to Samsung...because they are not as helpful to consumers as one might wish. So....really...... FU to Smartphones.... Need to get OFF them....baby.... Hate them. Smartphones are just another kind of.....obsession which does no good for our world. Where do they go when you throw them away....anyway.....which is not my concern. I just care that Smartphones are about as much good for most people as the LOTTERY.... It's just a tax on the poor....baby..... AND YOU KNOW IT..... Smartphones are most popular, it seems, among the dumbest among us. And, I am not as dumb as you might think. Gotta rid myself of these vermin smartphones..... And... I will. Someday, we will be free. MLK I have a DREAM..... I have a dream when...someday.....we will be free of smartphones....

MY MAIN CONCERN is to find some way to never again buy a Samsung or Apple phone. I can do it. It's become just a matter of principle for me.....NOT money. Same with Apple and Microsoft.... I have already rid myself of Windows..... And this is the next step......maybe.....

Obviously...this is not the best solution...but....still..... Need something like this.... There must be a way to just use one's desktop, and no need for a Smartphone......right?

There MUST be a way.... To STOP buying phones from Samsung and Apple..... There should be no need..... But then, how......? TOTAL RIPOFF ..... I want to stop paying this tax to these lousy companies...... I refuse...in fact.....

OK. Please just check my other Topic..... Anyway, you are correct that I need some sort of phone to make phone calls. But, I really do not need anything more than that. I just want to do everything from my desktop. WHY should I pay USD1000 for a device that I very RARELY use..... Why should I support the corrupt companies such as Apple and Samsung which....IMHO.... Feed on us, and for very little in return. In fact....I do NOT need a smartphone. I only need a phone to make calls, when needed. DIG: ......

Please note: I very rarely use a phone. Since....I very RARELY leave me house. This is true. Not a joke. ((I just need to be able to send LINE and WeChat messages from my house, is all.... And nothing more.))

Yeah, Jingthing....BUT....BUT.... Did you even notice....and....I guess you did.... That I added the PRINCESS PHONE in this Topic...... JUST FOR YOU, Man! Glad you saw this....obviously....because...my mention of the Princess Phone...actually...was with you in mind.... Take care.....! I mean.... I was thinking of you when I wrote this....actually.... Anyway....I will find my own way..... Thank you for your reply.... By the way.....!

Dear Folks, I would like to use my desktops instead of using a Smartphone. I am totally OFF the use of smartphones. So then....how to do this? I need to use a SIM card to my Dtac Service to use LINE and WeChat. But, ordinarily, I never use a smartphone. Therefore, how to do this? If possible, I will never buy, ever, another Samsung product. I will, alternatively, just use my desktops. And then, should I need to make phone calls, when not at home, then I can just use a VERY CHEAP traditional phone. How is this done? Regards, Tks Gamma NOTE: A few days ago....I purchased an A55. But, I do not like it....compared to my old NOTE4. So, what I am saying is that.....I do not need a smartphone..... NOTE2: Also, I am saying that I do not need to pay premium prices for garbage phones like the A55. Any ideas? Because.... Just as I stopped using, once again, Windows OS.... I also want to STOP being on the Samsung smartphone bandwagon...... Note3: I am tired of buying smartphones.... And, maybe you are....TOO.... Why should we pay so much money just to send and receive simple messages, and make simple phone calls. Year ago....I could easily make simple phone calls from phones like this....at almost zero cost.... on my PRINCESS PHONE....I loved my PINK Princess Phone.....Sir..... Most of you young guys are totally brainwashed by companies such as Apple and Samsung into thinking that you need to mortgage your souls, just to make a GD call. But I remember when....this was not the case. I rarely need to make a call while I am out and about. And, in fact, decades ago.... I never did. Anytime I needed to make a call, I would just use the public phones..... And they worked quite well.. And...you recall....Marvin Gaye making his call..... YEah.... This is the way to make a phone call.....Baby..... I HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE....via AT@T.... Hello....Marvin.....!!!!!!!! Something FUNKY is going down here on the PHONE.... FUNKY, Franky......!!!!! Don't Hang Up, Man...... THIS IS THE WAY TO MAKE A CALL......

I want to get rid of my expensive smartphones. Once and for all. How do I do this? I am TIRED of being on the Smartphone bandwagon. All I need is to be able to send and receive WeChat and LINE messages. In addition to that....I just need a very cheap phone, like Nokia, to make calls....maybe three times each month. So.... How do I do that? WHY THE FOOK SHOULD I pay more to Samsung? MOST OF MY LIFE is directly tied to just my desktops. I have....NO.....FING need for any expensive Smartphone. I do not give a FLYING FING SHIRT about taking photos.....other than....maybe... USING A NIKON, top o the line. I do not need a smartphone. So, my only need is to communicate, not too much, using LINE and WeChat... So then.... WHY THE FOOOK should I go out and pay USD1200 for a foooking Samsung phone? What can I do... I need an alternative..... My NOTE4 is dead. I will NOT buy a replacement. And.... I will not settle for anything less than the NOTE4.... The A55 is an arse compared to the Note 4....believe me.... Any ideas? This is not a joke post.... No Way.....

Do not buy Thailand carp. You will be..... SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody knows this.... The quality is in the basement. The customer service is even worse. Do not go there.......!

How do you interact with WeChat...just for example? This is the question here....

Sure. Right. Whatever.....

IF POSSIBLE: Please try to find some way to NEVER buy a phone in Thailand. Extrapolating from this good advice: NEVER BY FING ....NOTHING.....in Thailand, other than food. Buying consumer products, including phones, etc.... Is like visiting Heartbreak Hotel.... Do not do it! I will..... NEVER EVER Buy any FING thing from Thailand...... Just got ripped off....but...... What was I expecting..... ANYWAY? Do not buy, folks! It's Heartbreak Retail Hotel in Thailand, Baby!

I did. I do not like it.

Dear Folks.... This is really NOT the same post as I posted previously.... Believe me. I have now done much research concerning Google Pricing in NYC, Singapore, Malaysia. First of all.... There IS no Google Store in Thailand. Why? I have no clue... But, I do not care. This is NOT a political discussion. The question is: a. Originally, goaded on by BUBBLEGUM (a man that I AGREE with), I did my best to find a Google phone, the Pixel 9 XL. But, the logistics of getting it to Thailand are just a non-starter. b. In the USA...the price for this Pixel 9 XL with 256GB of onboard storage is Also, I checked the prices in Singapore and Japan. Basically, Google sells this same phone for he same price in all countries....around the globe. Very Slight currency fluctuations might minimally alter the price....but the pricing is the same in the countries I checked. Unfortunately.... This phone is not offered in Thailand. There IS a Google Store in Malaysia...however.... c. So, I cannot wait to ship from some other country. And, I must, instead buy a Samsung phone, for the same amount of money...or slightly less...but a phone which is equal or superior to the Google Pixel 9 XL. d. What are the options, if any? Or, does Google, at this price point, completely blow Samsung out of the water???? e. As for me, this is not just an idle question of minimal interest. My NOTE4's Android Marshmallow OS no longer supports any apps....as of the past few days. No LINE, and no WeChat, and no nothing. f. In case you might wish to voice an opinion concerning which device, and where to buy such device, in Chiang Mai,.... For USD 1,282.00 or less.... Then this might be of interest. g. Due to sudden changes in software, Marshmallow is no longer of any use to anyone, including me. Nothing works on this phone....as of about 48 hours ago. NOTHING. NADA. ZIP. h. Of course, I have not given up on my NOTE4 so easily. Someday, but not now, I will run Linux on my NOTE4. i. However, at this moment.... I am completely lost to the world. Or, thankfully, the world is temporarily free of me.... If you wish to help me get reconnected with my many friends around the world....then.... What is your best SAMSUNG phone suggestion for this price point? Naturally, I anticipate a few spicy comments...as usual...and they are welcome. However, I just hope that there is also a few good and amazing suggestions, intermixed. IMHO.... It is just possible that there are others looking for a SAMSUNG phone, at this price, or slightly less. And, maybe the info you provide might be helpful to other readers, too. Just keep in mind: RAM: 12 to 16 GB STORAGE: 256 GB Basically what you would get with the Pixel 9 XL. So.... Any ideas for a better Samsung phone, for the price of the Pixel 9 XL? Can Thailand give us more than Google can in Malaysia and Singapore....for example? Just asking. Gamma

So then.... Google Phone in Thailand is a no-go.... Therefore..... What is the best alternative for this exact amount of money, or slightly less, in Thailand.....SAMSUNG.....

I think you got things ass-backwards.....

Sorry... But did you not see that the price for 10 TBytes of data storage on Google Drive is USD49 plus change, per month? Or, do you now wish me to convert USD to RUPEES for you? Are you from India, by the way? If so, please do not call me and speak BOMBAY to me.... NOTE4: Also....who do you think I am???? ..... a Google One Support Operator?

Yes. Agree. It's a beauty. Thank you for sharing....

What about LINE and WeChat? This is the big stumbling block...as I see it.... Tks. Other than that....no need for a phone....
