Can I use a Cingular GSM phone in Southeast Asia?
The Nokia 3595 supports GSMs GSM 900/1800/1900, which is what you’ll need in Southeast Asia. So all you need to do is get a SIM card when you arrive at your destination. Here’s what to do: Before you leave your home country, check your phone handset isn’t locked – i.e. it will work outside the country. Some manufacturers lock handsets to prevent them being used outside their original market. If you discover your handset is locked, don’t despair – you can pick up basic, low-end Nokia handsets in Thailand for around 2500 baht. Look in MBK Centre or Fortune City IT Mall in Bangkok. Though I don’t recommend it, it’s also possible to unlock your own phone by getting a hack for it. If you’re interested in that, try visiting this web site, download the appropriate file and follow the instructions (it’s very easy): http://www.peters1.dk/webtools/nokia/nokia.php?sprog=en Once you’re ready to get your Thai SIM,
