Hi everyone, I have a Nokia Tri (900/1800/1900GSM) banded mobile phone, and plan to take it away with me to Manila, I was just wondering if it will work in the Philippines. It is on Tesco mobile, which supports international roaming, but the Philippines was not listed on their contries list.
Does anyone know if this will work or other mobiles that will work, from other UK networks.
Cheers,
Simon.

Simon the first thing you need to check is that your phone has been unlocked that you can use it in other countries. I am not sure about about Tesco but it might be better buying another sim like 02, Orange or Vodafone.
But my best suggestion if it suits is buy a Globe or Smart sim when you are there for around £1-1.50 which means all your texts within the Philippines will be 1 peso and to text back home will be around 15 pesos.
If you use a sim card from here it costs around 50 pesos per text so it is something to think about but first as i have said is check that your phone can be used abroad (Unlocked)
