In pattaya, where are the best places, brands and tips for buying a basic cell phone battery?

Thanks.

tukcom pattaya

Yes tukcom on Pattaya Tai (South rd)

Tuk com would most likely sell a copy battery that won't have the efficiency

of an original.

If you want a Nokia original then try the Nokia shop on the second floor at Big C

Nua shopping mall.

I think it is the battery.

It says fully charged and then out of the blue batt mut (empty).

Is it possible it is something else that is wrong? what might that be?

Also cheap phone, maybe better to buy new cheap phone?

Copies are fine. 1/4 of the price of an original. Bought such a battery for my Nokia 3 years ago, and it still holds the charge for four days. BigC or Tesco. The batteries have a sticker that tells for which models they're made for.

Just buy a cheap battery, and replace it when it goes bad. You can pay 4 times the amount of a cheap battery, and get one that is even worse. If your phone still dosent work, then buy a new cheap phone, unless you need up-dates on everything in the world, every minute, and have a need to impress people while your sitting on the beach. Seems even the working girls are too busy with their telephones to work.

Forget about Tukcom. That's the worst place to buy a battery. Too many rip off merchants there.

Got to Jaymart in Central Mall (4th floor). They've got new Nokia batteries for 299 baht.

Just in case anyone was wondering - no they don't have batteries for the old Motorola Razers.
