So I set it up with the help of two friends and learnt a few tricks on it and also got a new Sim card for it, or should I say transferred the data on my old one to a new Sim card, and all seemed well. Now after almost a week of swiping, entering code numbers/fingerprints, miss-typing SMS messages and similar, I had chance to evaluate it, this at 4 AM in the morning unfortunately. So I have gone back to my Nokia 3710, which, believe it or not, is quicker for telephone calls and SMS messages, which is all I need it for, and I have put the Apple iPhone SE back in its pack and will keep it in a drawer for emergencies if needed – – like the Mor Chana app, which I downloaded successfully, but which doesn't recognise the QR code on my VAX certificates!!! PS. Thank you for all of your help Bruno, it has been much appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an ignoramus when it comes to technology it needs to be simple and easy to use. I don't necessarily need all the bells and whistles of on expensive phone. Samsung A2 Core. Inexpensive (B2,500-ish), basic, does everything you want it to do. I've got two of them as emergency spares just in case anything happens to my (Google-equipped) Huawei.

redwood1 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) I tell people all the time, If you want a smart phone only buy the best at a cheap price.....I have regretted buying the cheap models and never will again... Smartphones lose their value FAST.......I just bought a Samsung galaxy s8 used at Tukcom in perfect condition for 4300 baht.....New the s8 sold for about 30,000 baht........A whopping savings for a 4 year old phone and top top of the line.....And works perfect........

It all depends on one's needs really. I don't have a smart phone but when I get one, it will basically just be used for calls. I will probably need an app or internet access ocassioningly. Lopburi posted about a decent phone for 1500 Baht early on. When I buy, I'll only be spending around 5000 Baht and won't be buying a second hand one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Large screen good Memory ( expandable ) Fairly fast in use 5000ma Battery life Good Camera And you will see some change out of 4000 Baht Then just sign up for an AIS pay as you go account, that way you can put as little or as much into your Account for usage Any Phone you buy, ask for the Phone to be demo,d for you and you can see how easy they are to use. I was the same as you a Year ago, and this was the route I chose to take, and it worked fine for me. You have almost convinced me. So after delivery what do I do next? When I look at AIS or Dtac I just get confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like the Redmi Note 9T 5G is a bit more up to date; @ 5k or thereabouts. https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=9925&idPhone2=10670&idPhone3=10661 https://shopee.co.th/Xiaomi-Redmi-Note-9T-5G--4-128GB--แถมฟรี---ซิมเน็ตเต็มสปีด-ใช้ได้นาน-12-เดือน-รวม-120GB---i.163578962.12804681738 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno123 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Redmi 9T is cheaper that the above @ 4.5k. But generally inferior to the Note, apart from the bigger capacity battery. Do you need a data package for the phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But someone with Android phone experience might say that 2GB of RAM is not enough. It likely will be for your limited usage. But if you ever expand your usage of your phone; to taking pictures and video for instance, you might wish that you spent a bit more to get a decent camera and processing ability. For a data pack, you have a few options. One is with AIS; Unlimited data at 4 Mbps and unlimited free calls to all networks(15 minutes per call) for 150 baht per month; recurring for six months. An alternative could be a SIM that is prepaid for 12 months. DTAC has such for under 1400 baht; Unlimited data at 15 Mbps and unlimited free calls on the DTAC network. Truemove H has a similar offer for 1790 baht. https://www.lazada.co.th/shop/wpnmobile/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a slightly worse version of the Redmi 9T; so should be priced at least 1000 baht less. Edited March 25, 2022 by Bruno123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
