Yep, did that, dead cam.

Re: Which Mobile Phone?
I periodically keep seeing a Samsung phone slightly bigger than my 5.5 inch cubot note S that the lady owners (!) tell me is about 10000 bht ish. What phone would that be? I assume it's a 6 inch screen, I googled it and thought it was J7 but that says 5.5 inch? And where could I get one that's used but good? Thanks

Re: Which Mobile Phone?
I'm still using an older, 2008 version, purchased at the airport in Sydney, Au. I've replaced the battery once and it still works fine but then all I do is make an occasional call, store numbers and receive an occasional call. I don't need to be connected to the world every waking hour so I have no use for a "smart" phone. a dumb one will do. I quit school when I were 12 years old and today I are a genius.prcscct wrote:Nokia 3310 mobile phone resurrected at MWC 2017

Re: Which Mobile Phone?
Anybody thinking of getting one of these 3310s beware; they only support 2G so will not work with most mobile networks over here.
Re: Which Mobile Phone?
I have a Nokia 108 which is similar and I don't have a problem with it in Thailand, it's dual SIM and I use it with UK Vodafone in one and a True tourist SIM in the other and I can use them both for calls and SMS messages around the Hua Hin area.
Re: Which Mobile Phone?
Perhaps True still have 2G support. I know AIS and I think also DTAC no longer support it.
Re: Which Mobile Phone?
Yes, you're right! I've just looked this up and True acquired the rights to 2G coverage last year:

If your looking for an industrial quality Mobile Catapillar have the Cat S60 on the market reasonably waterproof (can be used to take pics underwater) and comes with a good thermal Imager. Is available now in Thailand.

Re: Which Mobile Phone?
It depends what you want the phone to do, other than send and receive calls. Are photos important to you, endless apps, speed, etc. Pick a price range and read reviews by pros and users. par ex: Google, Best smart phones under $.

Re: Which Mobile Phone?
That's obvious, I was just responding to the unusual nature of the phone that Bluesky posted. I would never buy it because I want my phone to do everything, including make the tea for me in the morning!handdrummer wrote: ↑Fri Nov 24, 2017 3:44 am It depends what you want the phone to do, other than send and receive calls.
