I've been longing to have this phone since i saw it on Nokia site but some 6630 review say that it has so many problems. Should i risk replacing my 3 months old 6600 with 6630 from Japan? Is Nokia's warranty international in case i encountered some problems? Please help me on this. Thanks! |
Hi there. I think I could answer all of your questions, so sitback and read:
1. Nokia 6630 price. Your cousin is correct, this unit I got is only Y9,800 which in peso would be about P5,000 or less than US$100. Other shops I think is selling it for Y8,000 (do the math  ). However, I'm not sure if your cousin knows this...to get this unit, he has to sign in for a 1 yr or 2 yrs contract and that is post paid. Which means, even if he sends you the unit, he has to pay for whatever package plan he gets (Y3,000/mo is the cheapest i guess) for a yr or 2 without having a fone to use bcuz its already wid u. But since it seems like you are too eager to have it soon, here's what I suggest. If your cousin has the 1st 3G fone offered by Vodafone, which is the Sanyo V801SA, he can try putting his new USIM card (upgraded ver of SIM they say) to that old fone. If that works, then ur wish is granted. BUT...
2. Using the unit in the Philippines. Up until now since I got my 6630 3 weeks ago, I'm still searching for answer on how to 'unlock' my fone (SIM restriction OFF or making it openline as we call it). Vodafone has locked all their USIM type units to only work within their network. There are 2 ways to do it, I was told. One is via software by inputting a series of codes. I got my free code from another forum on the net, unfortunately it did not unlock it. The sender thinks vodafone embedded the lock from the load booter w/c is unusual perhaps. So I'm not even sure if my last option will work - which is via cable PKD-1. Since ur there in pinas and I know we have plenty of geeks doing these stuff, can u chk it out? I'll try mine when I go back there mid of march. Once the unit is unlocked, u should have no problem putting ur SIM, whether prepaid or post!
3. A fone bought from Japan via vodafone and brought to the phils. will void its warranty. Unlocking it either here or there will also void it! But do u really care, all our Nokias there bought from greenhills has no warranty anyway 
4. What sort of problems have u heard, I have to watch out for them. So far, I'm having fun with my unit. I've already loaded it with a lot of applns, from themes to games to ringing tones, u name it. Plus the camera is superb... its 1.3mega pixels, 1st of Nokia (units here though already are 2mp). My unit hangs sometimes but I think its bcuz it has too many apps in there. No worries for me though, i just switch it off and back on! I don want to complain... i've been longing for a nokia fone here since 2 yrs ago 
Well, that's about it. U dsyd! |

i just wanna ask if there's somebody who knows how to unlock my ericsson p900 so i could use it here in jpan.. is there any possible way that i can use it here? one time im tryin 2 search for a network and then i saw that there's a globe & smart network available but when i tried 2 put the smart & globe sim it has no signal even if both sims were in their roaming. i assumed that my p900 is locked because i cant use it here. any advice? |
One time I ask Smart Center about using my GSM fone in Japan,
I was told that, roaming in Japan is only available for corporate lines.
That's what they say. |

Hi Grace,
Does the japanese language still exist after they unlocked your phone or it is already in English version?
and by the way what is the nationality of the people there?

Hey Ms. Domingo, I'd like to ask you this question.
Since when did vodafone established their network in the Philippines?
Be more specific on where the exact place is. Base on your statement,
doubt starts to tickle my mind!
