Your Questions About International Sim

Mandy asks…

I am travelling to UK. I want to know how to choose International sim card?

Pete answers:

There are certain benefits of buying sim card in India, the most important being you get your international number right here in India and thus you can communicate your international number to your family and friends well in advance.

There are two types of international sim cards available in India – Postpaid international sim card and Prepaid international sim card. Both kind of sim cards are having certain advantages which you need to consider before buying.

Postpaid International sim card:
•You pay the bill after returning from your trip
•Useful if you want to talk without the hassle of recharging the sim card
•Very convenient and economical for the short trip duration as you need not buy the sim card and you are charged rental as per the number of days you are abroad
•Useful when you are not regularly travelling to the particular country
•Wide range of countries are covered

Prepaid International sim card:
•Buy the sim card and retain you number forever.
•Control over your mobile expenses while abroad
•Useful when you are travelling to the particular country more often.
•You can get you international number printed on your visiting card (for business traveler) as the number remains with you and you need not return the sim card
•Online and offline recharge facilities available
•Good option for students going for study abroad

Your Questions About Unlocked Gsm Android

Robert asks…

I need to choose the best cell phone for my needs…Please help.?

Okay I’m a world traveller. I live between Europe and the US (and I plan on spending an undetermined amount of time in Asia)—so I’m NOT looking for a contract (an Unlocked phone). It won’t work for my needs. I need a phone no more than $200. I want a decent phone but not for too long, since these phones end up obsolete after a time. I plan to keep whatever phone I choose for about 3 years and then changing it up–so I want something that will be around for a while.

I’m also looking for a 3g gsm (again Europe, Asia, Americas). I definitely want an android, since I hear that’s worthwhile.

I was looking at some Hello Kitty’s because of the Dual Sim—but then I was told that was real cheap and don’t waste my time. I was thinking on the Blackberry Curve—but it’s a BB OS and there are touch screen: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-BLACKBERRY-8310-CURVE-PINK-UNLOCKED-GPS-2MP-GSM-/180597656341?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item2a0c758b15

I was looking at Samsung, LG, and Sony Ericsson.
As far as price — around $130 or so is good.
Oh, I don’t want an iphone at all. And I’d like an app that allows reading some ebooks.

Pete answers:

You are not going to find any android phone new for under $300, unless you sign a contact or buy them used, same with BB’s. I would suggest something cheap but still quad ban world phones. Like the LG Neon, LG Xenon, Samsung Corby,Samsung Gravity. All should be around $100 new or cheaper. I wouldnt suggest any Sony phone unless it is a smart phone. Do not buy the Sony Vivaz Pro whatever you do.

Richard asks…

I was wanting to buy an unlocked cellphone off haughtdeals.com and wanted someones opinion on which to buy:

Your Questions About International Sim Card

Ken asks…

Is there a sim card that cover the whole of western europe, instead using international roaming?

from Australia. (and is it cheaper then roaming?)

Pete answers:

Unfortunately roaming charges are something that we all face. There is not a card which works over multiple countries on a domestic rate (at least that I am aware of anyway).

Actually roaming charges have been the subject of much controversy and now EU regulations covering them as phone companies were charging a small fortune and abusing this to their own profit.

If you are only going to a couple of countries, will stay in each a relatively long time and/or make a phone calls, then you might look at buying a sim only, pay as you go simcard for each of them.

Joseph asks…

How much are international rates and sim card rental from Japan- my own phone.?

I’m getting an iphone 4. I need to use it from Japan, calling into USA and Europe.
ATT and Sprint have plans, they’re kind of pricey.

Does anyone here have advice on how much Sim card rentals are with a plan that gives me unlimited media and texting , the voice i not so important. I’m deciding whether to get ATT or Sprint OR an unlocked phone and buy Sim and plans there.

If you can advise on prices and stuff, great, thank you!
My question- is an unlocked phone better

Pete answers:

I was in Japan just recently and got a sim card from “Softbank” for my iPhone 3GS. It cost $1.50 per day for phone calls only. I used it very little, the bill for 42 days was around $61 Australian. Did not use it to call home and did not use it for data while in Japan, had my laptop for those as wi-fi is now more common in Japan and generally free. Check the Softbank site for pricing for iPhone 4, also DoCoMo, I found it easiest to input ” Japanese sim card for iPhones in Japan”. Previous trip I used international roaming and my bill when I got home after 3 weeks was $65 for data (roaming) plus my monthly fee,lots of companies are now hiring sim cards with data or without. Quite a few had offices at Narita Airport where you can pick up your pre-ordered card. They also hire wi-fi units but you will have to check those for yourself.

its an international version can i use it in singapore ?

http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Sensation-Unlocked-Android-Smartphone/dp/B00551MIEU/ref=pd_cp_cps_1

I use singtel by the way , so can i use ?

The unlocked version can be used internationally but u need to check the technical details

The Technical details of the phone of the link which u have pasted clearly says that

This unlocked cell phone is compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile. Not all carrier features may be supported

Hence u need to check for the HTC Phone where the technical details should be like this
2G Network GSM 850/900/1800/1900 3G Network HSDPA 900/1700/ 2100

U can check this out which has this details and is also availabe cheaper here

Your Questions About Voip Options For Home

Susan asks…

Port Forwarding on Vonage device wont work please help?

Hi, Thanks in advance for any help.

Windows XP home
Vonage Device for voip: Motorola VT 2142

Im using Bitcomet/Utorrent and getting slow speeds. ports are not open.
I narrowed my problem of getting slow download/upload speeds down to my vonage modem/router device. When I unplug it and just use my cable modem, it goes fast and the ip or connection thing is not blocked. Once I attach the vonage device it shows the port is not open and cant connect.

Now, I went to the site www.portforward.com, they have a guide on it, I went and did exactly everything they said. Many times might I add, and I didnt make any mistakes. I found the port number, added it to the port forward options in the vonage device, saved and checked. Still the same. Why is it set to foward the port but not doing it?

thank for the help

Pete answers:

Is the issue for sure port blocking, or are you just not getting an IP address assignment to your PC through the VT2142?

James asks…

What does GSM UNLOCKED for an iPhone 4g really mean?

Pete answers:

It means that your you can use any sim from any network for your mobile. Putting sim from another phone operator in to a gsm locked iphone other than the one specified when purchased, would not be you to access the network or take calls from it or even use the net on it. However in a gsm unlocked phone you can keep changing your sim as many times as you like……
Eg:-an iphone with a vodaphone sim specification can only use vodaphone sim……. However a open iphone can use sims from vodaphone or airtel or any telephone operator you obtain a sim from
