Shopping for mobile phone in Malaysia/Taiwan?

I am planning a trip to Malaysia and Taiwan this summer, and I?d love to buy a new phone there. But will it work at Czech Republic (Europe) with T-Mobile sim- card in it? And is it really cheaper to buy it there? THX

Answer:

Yes, its cheaper for you to buy phone in Malaysia and Taiwan, where Malaysia is approx. 10 to 20% cheaper than in Taiwan. Your phone should work with any sim-card, including your sim-card from T-Mobile. But for that, you have to purchase a phone without any telco contract and you have to buy from indepedent phone sellers at their shops and its easy to find in Malaysia and less so in Taiwan. As for whether it will work in Czech Republic, you should consult T-mobile and not the handphone seller, cause its more towards the service provider on its roaming network connectivity, rather than the connectivity of the mobile phone. Consult T-Mobile for more detail about it.
