Does anyone know if koreas WCDMA network phones will work in New Zealand? or does cdma run on a different frequency or something? They seem to get all the good phones Samsung put out =(
[Moderator edit (tonyhughes): Moved to Vodafone New Zealand forum]
Remember that imported 3G phones will work only on basic services here, not including music and video download, and most likely not Vodafone live! services. Voice call, data, SMS should work ok. MMS may or may not work.
Also you posted this question in the Telecom NZ forum, but asked about WCDMA.
You do realise the WCDMA is not the same as CDMA?
WCDMA is the official name for UMTS, the technology Vodafone users. These are distinct.
Even if you are talking about CDMA anyway, remember that Telecom New Zealand, and most CDMA operators around the world, will not connect imported handsets.
haha ok i should learn to read. Hrmmm would vodafone know which services will and wont work if i rang them? all i really want the phone for is pic and video messaging, texting and taking pics. Wouldnt really care if the other services wouldnt work.
Thanks for the heads up. Effectively if its unlocked it shouldnt be that hard to set up though right? just whack a sim card in and cross your fingers lol
Check out the Vodafone forum, which includes thesetwo threads about getting imported phones working on the VFNZ network. The thread applies to GSM phones, but I'm guessing a lot of the settings will apply to the new WCDMA network. Problem is the WCDMA network in NZ is very new, so who knows for sure?
