You have quoted the wrong person 😊

I use second hand phones almost exclusively. Just bought an iPhone for 1200 baht. Of course people go to great expense to modify old phones and put them on the market in the hope that someone buys one. (sarcasm alert)

Beware that they might be selling this phone due to problems caused by an update to MIUI 14. https://www.gsmarena.com/xiaomi_redmi_note_9s-reviews-10147.php

OPPO Find X8 Pro and VIVO X200 Pro are possibly cheaper and possibly better camera phones. OPPO claims to use Hasselblad tech if I remember correctly. VIVO, Zeiss. https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?&idPhone2=13480&idPhone3=13410&idPhone1=13467

I don't have any idea of what you mean. i didn't suggest you buy anything 'smart'. You asked about data when surfing and I advised on the best value package. Instead of using up to 49 baht without a data package, you could just apply an Unlimited 4 Mbps, 6 Mbps or 10 Mbps package and use the Internet to your heart's content, without worrying about any further charges. There was no suggestion of changing equipment nor your present arrangement.

I'm not at all confused. I think everyone is agreed that the peoples lived together in the region, until there was a plan to change that, to take over all of the land. This is the crux of the matter. Forcing one set of people out to replace them with another. Personally, I don't concern myself with race nor religion, but only the salient facts. The Zionist plan was to seize control of all of the land. That has not ever changed. Ben Gurion stated as much. They are not the victims, they are the perpetrators trying to portray themselves as victims simply defending themselves. The Palestinians and Arabs are portrayed as evildoers and terrorists. But they lived there....and now they don't. This was forced upon them. It's nothing to do with fairness or goodness. Trying to portray Israelis as the good guys simply doesn't fly for most of the world and any attempt to have a balanced discussion is usually shut down with cries of anti-Semitism or worse. I'm not going to suggest that I was there and know everything. That's why we should be able to have healthy discussions without name calling and insulting in order to try to shut down any conversation. The Brits aren't too keen on the invasion of their country. I guess they are learning how the Palestinians felt/feel.

Next day delivery is likely if you move quickly and I KNOW that USB tethering is possible. It even states it in the manual. Now if you buy some no-name generic it might be incapable. But this is a Brand name MiFi. ZTE MF971 made to TRUE's specification. Follow up with the vendor to double check if you wish, whilst you are looking at other options. Always good to have a fall-back position. Bangkok-Pattaya buses also act as couriers. Even same delivery is possible. I wasn't referring to 5G, 4G, 3G or whatever, but the specific bands. if there is only 1800 MHz UMTS or LTE in a particular location, but the phone doesn't support it, then that phone is useless in that scenario. So you want a phone that covers ALL possible frequencies there. 5G/4G/3G is not a frequency. Chances are that it will, but don't just assume. But it seems you have your mind made up to find an Android phone. Good luck with your endeavour.

AFAIK the SMART1 is a version of the ZTE MF971 https://manuals.plus/zte/zte-mf971r-manual#documents_resources It supports USB tethering according to the manual(Page 9).

I'm slightly confused. Are you assuming that the 'new' MiFi is incapable of USB Tethering? I'm not familiar with Speedify, so am just following along with your description of your configuration. So bear with me 🙂 Is there some impediment to using the second MiFi tethered via USB?

Edited frequency support for the Smart1 1. Supports frequency bands 2G: 900 MHz 3G: 850/900/2100 MHz 4G: 700/900/1800/2100 MHz FDD 4G: 2300 MHz TDD CA: 2100 + 1800 / 2100 + 900 MHz

So why not buy another MiFi, as they are cheaper than phones?

I meant the actual frequency bands, rather than GSM, UMTS and LTE. I guess you would want a phone that could cover all of the relevant frequencies wherever you go in Myanmar. That's why I published all of the frequencies, in so you could choose devices that might cover them all. Imagine having a SW radio that could only tune into half of the bands that you wanted.

Why not drop the vendor a line via LINE to check if the unit supports USB tethering? Mine are brand name(Huawei) and they do. I cannot speak to yours nor the TRUE unit. But hopefully the vendor can confirm and also give you an idea of delivery times. You can even buy a full router(TP-Link) for 1000 baht, but of course for that you would need mains electricity 🙂

They do support USB tethering. I have many. Though I'm not sure about the Smart1. I'll check.

It wasn't my suggestion 🙂 I'm doing my best for you, since you do you best for the children.
