Best option if it's available in your area is CDMA, I know Tong Nai Pan isn't covered as a friend just tried to get it, so best to check before you order it.

EDGE is the next best option but it's very inconsistent, it works though and on a very very very good minute of a very very very good day is faster than CDMA by just a little.

GPRS Works fine, real slow though, worse than a dialup.

Hope this helps.

Another idea....

do you check the area there if some WiFi networks available?

GPRS will work (but slowly) maybe EDGE is also working there....

but to connect with a notebook u must have a good mobile with

an inside modem of a GPRS Class 10 or higher.

For example: the Nokia 6233 has an GPRS Modem Class 10

and HSCSD/EDGE funktions an also important the number

of up/download channels. This Nokia has 2 upload & 4 download-channels.

The Nokia N73 has a Class 11 modem inside, but same up&downloads as the 6233.

Maximum speed 118,4Kbit or 236,8KBit/s. (up to network)

Nokia 3120 has an GPRS Class 4 modem with 1 upload & 3 download-channels.

...better GPRS/EDGE then nothing...if there are no internet-shops nearly you stay.
