3G - What To Do ?

[trompelemonde]

Hi,

I would like some advice. I use DTAC and own a Blackberry Curve 9300 which is a 3G enabled telephone.

The phone was bought by someone for me as a present and, according to DTAC, will not work with their 3G network. It will only work with AIS apparently, which uses a 900 Mhz frequency.

Questions; is 3G worth having on a phone and if so what is AIS 3G like in comparision to the others?

I was going to use a 3G phone as a tethering device to my work and home PC's.

I don't want to change the handset as I like BB's and this is the only one that our company will allow to receive their e-mail.

Many thanks

To the others?

Depends on your location.

For that model, it is possible to have either of these specifications.

3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 DTAC/TRUE/TOT

HSDPA 900 / 1700 / 2100 AIS/TOT

That's true, and I have the wrong one (HSDPA 900/1700/2100) that will only work with AIS/AOT not with DTAC who my BB package is with.

It's my fault, but then again who knows the spec's of what they are buying when they buy from places like Jay Mart or Power Buy?
