Apologies if this question has been asked before - I am relocating from the UAE to Thailand shortly, will my GSM/Mobile handset work with the operators there? Its a Nokia 9300 and is not locked to any network.

Ive read some internet sites that say you must buy your mobile in Thailand to work with the Thai SIM cards?

Thanks for the help in advance..

It will work just fine!

Buy one of the prepaid simcards (One2Call, dprompt or the Orange one)

Everything will work, If you use one2call you have gprs access as well at 1 Baht/minute.

I think it might be worth mentioning that GSM phones are manufactured to operate on a variety of 'frequencies' (?). I believe that the Thai Frequencies are 900/1800 this is the same as the U.K. and apparently the UAE , so no problem just need a SIM if the phone is not locked to a provider, although it seems that the Thai boys are pretty good at unlocking phones.

I am aware of phones out of the USA that will not work in Thailand (or U.K.) because they operate on different frequencies, so I guess the universal advice to the question is 'check that the phone operates on the 900/1800 GSM frequencies".
