Rob and Ted: but he's going to Singapore, not China. :)  Singapore only supports GSM technology...unfortunately we also have CDMA here as well.

I have a gsm phone but the AT&T web site said that it won't work there. I have a blackberry pearl that is a spare phone from a friend that I could use. I have not checked to see if it takes a simm card. I will figure something out. I just figured that I would ask the experienced members. I had read somewhere on the web about ordering simm cards from another country for use in the respective country. I just didn't mark the page and I am having trouble finding it again. I like the pay as you go plans but the drawback is you have to get one for each country you want to visit. I have a US one for travel in the US. The phone is a good little phone. It cost me $4.95 US. I put $100 on it every year and it keeps the account open and I can use the phone anytime I want. I live less than 5 miles from the US border so the phone works well here. When my parents are in florida I can call them from here and a 20 minute call is only about $3.00. I think I will be alright with the blackberry. I will dig it up and check it out. Thanks for the advise again.

Hey Bee if you live 5 miles from the border, where are you living ?  I'm in Arizona, but  4 hours from the border, depending on
how fast you drive....:icon_cheesygrin:

Hi Dave, the phone has to be an unlocked phone if you want to put in a card from another country.  If it's AT&T, most likely it's locked.  But you can check with your local guys.  Before you decide which network (Singapore has 3), find out which network your lady uses on her cell phone.  Often there are benefits to using the same network.  I'll get you the site of the right network if you can find out which network.

I sold my last spare phone it was locked anyway and there are ways to unlock it? But with all the crap to go through I'll get a pay by phone when I get there. Just in case it's needed.... Hello honey, I'm lost?


I was thinking of getting a pay by phone when I get there. I still just might do this. BTW, I never get lost. People are always telling me where to go AND what to do when I get there.

That's why I despise guided tours...can't stand them...rush you from one place to another and won't let you enjoy anything...

Hence why I try to  be a little vague with destinations...I'll give you a general idea and you can take it from there.

guided tours are i think a waste also because as mustfocus said they
usually do rush you thru the agenda. i usually just pick an area and wing
it from there but i do have the option to stay longer if i like what i am seeing
