Can Iphones be used in the Phils????

[Northerner]

Rizza will take care of you, she will protect you and make sure you don't go anywhere that could be dangerous but as always keep your eyes open, 'Opportunity Knocks' for the desperate in Manila.

But don't let yourself get too concerned, just don't flash the cash, or credit cards, don't hang around near an ATM if you have just taken out some cash, if you don't feel comfortable in a taxi get out first chance you get as long as you are not in the sticks.

Only take out enough for the night, and keep only one card on you preferably not in your wallet but somewhere it won't show through your jeans or trousers.

Basically just act like you would if you were somewhere a bit rough in the UK and you will almost always be fine.

But as I said Rizza will take of you she will have your safety at the top of her mind always!

Oh, I know I will be fine. Spent years going through a paranoid phase when I was into self protection and all the Martial Arts BS from back in the day. Not that a lot of that stuff isn't good, but I think it is not healthy to be on guard 24/7!

Going nowhere near Manila, other than the airport so not too worried there either. Cebu is where I will be, and a week in Valencia, Bukidnon. And whatever else in Camiguin. Not exactly Jolo, so should be fine And when I am in Valencia, I will probabl be in the company of Rizza's father and two brothers. So they will know of any local dangers and I think everything will be fine. I won't be flashing the cash and Rizza has already asked me to save and not go spend, spend, spend So, no worries

Be careful, don't make a rod for your own back........ I mean, could the kid have asked for a more expensive phone?????????

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.... but OK it is my fault, I told her that if she needed something she should ask me, i do not like the idea of her going to the pawn shop... so i guess the screen doors are more important than the Iphone.....

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.

[pacificelectric]

The funny thing is that she mentioned the screen doors just after sending me a scan of her pap smear results. Is this just a coincidence or an encrypted message like "we do kayat at the Waterfront hotel and the kids are not bothered by flies at home"??????

[eagles]

Pacific, sounds like more request are coming up from her.. beauty feel, phone, screen doors ..... so what's more will come........

Yes, they keep it close but then it keeps warmth inside and she said aluminium screen doors are better and last longer than plywood.....

Yes I know, she is smart and irresistible.... just as a reminder:

[maria_and_matt]

just say no to all of the things they are asking and see what the reaction will be.... just an idea

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.

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.

Iain.

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.
