Mobiles... Gprs Class

[jimbim]

I want to get a gprs phone, been looking at the basic, camera-less, mp3-less Motorola C380 or Nokia 3120. Just basic phones.

Wanna use my phone to connect my laptop to the internet. One thing: one phone says it's gprs class 4, the other class 10.

Can't find an explanation of this and if it will affect me. Thanks

The class determines how many GSM speach slots can be used for data on your handset, see:

I do not know what classes are supported in the Thai GSM systems.
