Thinking of bringing back my iPhone 3G to LOS. Is this thing compatible, can it be used in Thailand?

Hi Cro I dont know if they even have 3g yet, I always take my phone with me but never get a 3g symbol appear when in THailand.

You can use it here, but you won't get 3g capability. There's no 3g network here yet.

I see an iPhone in Thailand's near future

After the rollout of the iPhone 3G, I got to thinking why we were not getting one for Thailand. The major hurdle lies in Thailand's current cellular infrastructure; we're stuck at 2.5G. There is no point is launching a product that has no support from the carriers' own systems. With that in mind, an inside tipster told me that Dtac is nearly ready to deploy its 3G network sooner than we were led to believe. In fact, as I'm told, importing and deploying the 3G support equipment have already begun.

Next, we have the iTunes Store. Thailand has never had an iTunes Store of its own. Sure, we could access free content from any country's store, but we were never able to make any purchases, until now. Yes, folks, we finally have an iTunes Store. Just apps available but a legitimate iTunes Store where we can send our credit card details to spend some Thai baht.

This is especially exciting as it proves Apple's intent at the very least. There is no reason to launch an apps store solely to support jailbroken/unlocked imports. That has not been the Apple way. Nor does it seem logical that Apple would condone us breaking any "agreement" under the terms and conditions set out by its partnering carriers worldwide.

As we progress toward the rest of Apple's worldwide deployment phases and Thailand progresses toward the finalizing of the 3G bandwidth allocation, more evidence will surely be uncovered and you can be sure yours truly will keep at this like an airport drug-sniffing dog chases after your Thai sausages hidden in your carry-on.
