Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / November 2003Best way to make/receive in Far East
Hello, I'll be leaving for the Far East in 2 weeks (Hanoi, Hong Kong and Seoul) and was wondering how to best make and receive calls from my family in the United States. I have the T610 GSM phone from Sony Ericsson and a TMobile account here. I'm sure this will be prove to be expensive out there. But if I get another SIM Card locally my number will change from the local US number right? I would appreciate any insight from anyone on this. Thanks!

Your family would dial the international access code 011 plus the country code plus the SIM's phone number. Have you tested your T610 to discover if it is SIM-locked to T-Mobile? You'll need a SIM from some other service provider (ATT, Cingular, Einstein, Fido, etc. It don't need to be on an active account). If it is, you'll want to request that SIM unlock code from T-Mobile right now. If you want to use T-Mobile at all, have you had international roaming and international dialing turned on for your account? That's all I can think of.

I know I have International Dialling turned on for my account but I will get the Roaming checked and I will also get my unlock code. Thanks for taking the time to help me. Appreciate it. > Hello, > > I'll be leaving for the Far East in 2 weeks (Hanoi, Hong Kong and Seoul) and > was wondering how to best make and receive calls from my family in the > United States. > Thanks! > > AG And no GSM in Korea!
