I want to send a cell phone to my friend in the Philippines. I live in the United States.?

Question

What kind of cell phone can I send her that will work in that country?

Answer 1

You're better off sending the money and let that person find the phone that will work there.

First off, you'd need to buy a GSM phone that works in the 900/1800 MHz bands, and a lot of phones in the US operate on 800/1900 MHZ. Don't bother w/ CDMA (VZW, Sprint): that dog won't hunt, just roam forever.

Second, you'd need to make sure it's unlocked so that your friend can put a Globe/Smart/Sun SIM in there w/o getting locked out.

The phones are not bad over there and are probably less expensive than you shipping a phone out there plus duties, unless you or a friend/relative is going over there anytime soon.

The exterior aspects are heavily inspired by using the states, for occasion, assuming it reaches a element of melancholy, it would give up importation of the two products and immigrants, subsequently we loose our greatest procuring and advertising better half and between the biggest aspects of the remitances that now form a significant area of the financial device... i think of we'd be heading nowhere so immediately we does not even observe that our financial device had already collapsed... I advise we've not even recovered totally simply by fact the 1997 financial disaster...(i think of) the united statescollapse might convey a cave in of the international financial device... If the united statesmonetary device might cave in...it is
