My gf's son would like an Iphone as present but if I buy a brand new Iphone here in France will it work in the Phils? The issue of plug can be solved easily I guess but will it still be operational as a phone? I am a total moron in that kind of field so I hope someone can give me some advice.... thanks in advance!!
Yes it will, but you must get a phone that is unlocked. Buoytel is selling an 8GB iPhone 3G in carrefour for 299 Euro at the moment I believe, but you must have service from them for 6 months before they will unlock it for you.
3G service is available extensively through the major towns and cities in the Philippines, but service can deteriorate elsewhere.

exactly
In that case, if I were you I would be sure to scotch this belief ASAP . Buy him a basic run of the mill (current model) nokia and tell him that's all you can afford, that's probably better than what your average Filipino would own. I think that your treading a very slippery slope right now and if you get it all wrong you'll be making a rod for your own back.I offered an expensive dermatological treatment to his mother lately so he must believe I am rich....
Filipino's have very big extended families and if the word gets around that your an easy touch, you'll soon find that they'll be queuing up with their requests.

This is the best advice you'll hear........
yeah im using iphone but same as others advise its not safe to hve this kind of phone
There once was a girl that believed in mankind, that there was still honor and chivalry that existed in everyone of us. She also believed that everyone deserves a chance to prove oneself individually and hoped that the courtesy would be returned. That girl is dead now, and all that is left is her shadow. To give one a chance to prove thyself is a chance for you to become dwindled in the dissappointment.
Word Iain spot on as normal.
If a flash phone is give it because its a hand me down.
Last time i went we took the usual batch of 2nd hand phones. Some still quite flash two were very smart sonys neither lasted more than six months. Nokias, sonys, samsungs, possiblyu motorola all fairly easy to find a repair shop locally this smart iphone (a mate had a quote of 180 pounds for the screen recently) 60 odd quid for a battery which is sealed in the phone unlike most which you can swap your self. Ok someone in phill may do slightly cheaper but still expensive.
Also iphones even though apple deny it seem to have had a few get very warm and cause damage in Europe let alone Phill
Although Iphones and touchs are fun to use, for the above reasons i could never recomend either to anyone.
Seriously consider if he should get what he wants not what you can provide.
THe wifes young Bro and Sis might like the latest but still dead happy with quite flash but not brand shiny new as its still better than what they would have otherwise. Dont set the bar to high.
Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops
Be careful, don't make a rod for your own back........ I mean, could the kid have asked for a more expensive phone?????????I offered an expensive dermatological treatment to his mother lately so he must believe I am rich....

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Actually my gf told me that if it wasn't OK with me I could just disregard the request.
Oh by the way this morning she asked me if I could send her 8,500 PHP because she needs screen doors to prevent mosquitoes, flies and frogs (?) to sneak into the place....

I would wait until your visit, and if need be, then invest in that.....
It seems to me that it is all getting, slightly, out of hand....
Spoiling someone is good at times, but not all the time.
oh please!!! you'll only be there for 2 weeks right?? You only need to put a mosquito net to cover your bed and put off lotion.. and you'll be ok.Actually my gf told me that if it wasn't OK with me I could just disregard the request.

yes it works! but make sure it is unlocked..I sent one for my sister a couple of months ago it is unlocked and jailbroken.
Yep it will
And unlocking the phone will be easy, there are loads of stalls who will unlock the phone for him.
It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.

Yeah, I recently bought a cheap phone for going to the phils. It is a sony w350 walkman phone, quad band so it will work anywhere and cost me £40 including £10 credit from orange. It's already unlocked and using my pinoy sim. And if I lose it or it gets stolenOoooooohhh, I'd be gutted
