April 9, 200719 yr Hello all, I will be needing a cell phone when I arrive in Bangkok this Friday. My questions are.... 1.) Can I rent one when here? If so where? Does it come with its own charger? 2.) What kind of service should will allow me to call over seas. Thanks to any replies in advance.

You can rent them at the airport but my advice would be to buy a used one at a shopping centre and get a sim card for it. How long you plan to be in country will have a big say on which is more cost effective.

I have to check with my work asap. Thanks for the info.

If it is not unlocked they can unlock it in Thailand. You can then buy a sim and when you are done with it, you can save it for a return trip or sell it on ebay as an unlocked phone.
