Hi all,

                   As I understand it a cell phone with quad-band GSM will work in Thailand just fine.

 

I buy a SIM card here and all good.

 

Sound correct ? or do I need to be looking at more than just this to be sure it will indeed work here.

 

Phone is a Samsung Convoy 4

 

 

Cheers

 

 

Can you share more details on your phone? Please feel free to provide more information, rather than none or less. The exact model number (e.g.: SM-B690VBKAVZW) would be a start, when did you buy it, where did you buy it, I assume it takes a SIM? Where do you use this phone now? Assume it is "unlocked"?

 

The best I could do, based on the limited info, is to see that a more recent version of this phone may support GSM850/900/1800/1900 (in 2G mode). Unfortunately, a lot of 850, 900 and 1800 has been re-farmed here to 3G and 4G. There may still be spots of 2G, where your phone might work, but it would be better to have a 3G/4G capable phone (850/900/1800/2100).

 

TrueMove H may be the best option, they may have dedicated some of their 900 MHz spectrum to 2G?
