simcity Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 My mobile phone is playing up , I need to get one soon . No model I like ! only one , a nokia ! Problem I have is the keyboards is in Thai and English , and that make it very hard to type ! I telephone to nokia and they told me every phone in Thailand are the same .. My solution perhaps will be to get this model oversea and use it here . i am with AIS now Can someone know what countries if any are compatible ? And if to change something inside will damage the phone ? Thank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Get a mobile just about anywhere EXCEPT the US. Malaysia is reasonably priced, close and has English keyboards. Just swapping your SIM card won't hurt the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbojangles Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 the keyboard is only a floppy bit of rubber (basically). Look on ebay for a duff one the same model as yours. Buy it and change the keyboard. Well, that's what i'd do. What model is it, simcity? Mr BoJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get an error message on the display? What was it? The only thing that would stop your phones working is if they are locked to a particular network. Unlocking is relatively simple, a job for your local phone repair chap. Malaysian phones are not usually locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simcity Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 yes many people said can be unlock for few hundred baht , but worry about warraty after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice looking phone. Just had a look on e-bay though and there seems to be a lot on there fairly cheap from China and Hong Kong. E-mail the sellers and ask if they have English key board. Also, they all seem to be unlocked for any network. Mr BoJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 32k for a PHONE?????? Does it make toast.... for that matter does it make phone calls. Why pay more than $150 for a mobile? More money than sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
