I am working in the Philippines right now but run a lot of communications between clients in Taiwan for my job, so when I got the XDA mini from the local telco (SMART), I flashed it with the Dopod 818 1.11 CHT rom so that I can send chinese sms out.
Issue now is the SMART MMS/GPRS settings are not in auto-config. Unfortunately Smart doesn't provide those settings on their website and the last thing I want to do is to call them and tell them I flashed my rom.
Is there any other way to add those settings to auto-config short of cooking a customed extended_rom?
Would also like to have all the settings for the other telcos in Asia since I travel around a lot and juggle a gazillion sim cards.
Looked at the forum and only thing close I could come to is the Ext_Rom kitchen section in the BlueAngle wiki
any suggestions?
Hello, I am going to be in Tokyo for the next few months for work. I use an HTC Hermes here in the UK. I am interested in having the office in Tokyo get me one to use whenever I am there. Questions:
1) Is the Softbank X01HT the model to go for? What advantages does this give over Docomo? Is there an unlimited data tariff? If not, what tariff should I go for if I want to use the phone for email and internet?
2) I use IMAP mail. I have tried but been disappointed with FlexMail 2007 as an email client, particularly since it does not support Asian characters. What other email clients (other than the WM5 standard which does not support multiple IMAP email addresses) are available with Asian language capability?
3) I am thinking the HTC Hermes will be best because it will be easy for me to configure since I already have one in the UK. Are there any other leading edge WM devices available that I should also consider?

Wassup, I used to live in Tokyo and theres never really been a "unlimited" data plan. They are pretty expensive compared to like Sprint but they offer a variety of different plans to match your usage. The best thing is to talk to the carrier rep directly. Both Docomo and Softbank are the same network. GSM+WCDMA. As far as english apps go they will work as-is. Its japanese appz that won't work on english phones. (kanji and phoenetic characters use a double size font) Roman characters only need half the space so it works great. The only thing is that you won't be able to change the system to english. Hmmm, I think. I may be wrong on that one. hehe.
You might actually wanna check out the Willcom Zero3. That phone is sweet! Although it is a PHS network. Not compatible with anything outside Japan.

Hi folks,
Can anyone tell me whether voip calls work in india on Vox for carriers such as Airtel, Vodafone?
If yes, by following the more famous posts on configuring Voip...can we use it successfully?
Cheers,
Chandan
Voip is expensive for calling within india, since india does not allow sip termination in the homeland. of course you can use it to call people in other countries which you might find cheaper. anyhows, i believe the edge/gprs speed here is slow to allow a decent connection. configuration wise, i think it depends on which voip service you opt for.

Wow this is awesome - I've always wanted something like this!
Does it just use the web lookup (whitepages for the US), or does it somehow access the same information that a hardware landline caller ID uses?

Anyway, to answere your question, it uses web lookup... the site that is used for US is whitepages.com
Hope you like it
Awesome! I love you!
how fast does it work?? For some reason my ppc's have always been slow when calls come in, ie the phone lighting up way before the ring even comes through, an anoying delay.
Very good idea
Thanks you very much

Hi! Im sorry for my confusing descriptioin! When i say i need a service provider i mean a reverse phone service provider, not a mobile phone service provider. That is, i need something similar to the whitepages!

Thats the beauty of it... There is no need for change of application... It is dynamic
Just go to settings page and there you will find your countrycode and provider
First of all, thanks for a most wonderful idea and application.

Hey guys, I leaving to Japan tomorrow for a month. I was wondering if there were any apps or accessories you guys would recommend for me to take.
I am going to rent a SIM from softbank over there but will not have intenet access on the phone except when I have wifi.
Oh yeah, I have a Fuze.
yeah, there are some apps i'd recommend...
first, install a japanese font, and an input panel, too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445550
second, the softbank email client, cause without it.... well its pretty self-eplanatory isnt it? (this one's major because softbank is using their own kind of service instead of SMS/normal email, nevermind this if you're not going to communicate with japanese people)
http://rapidshare.com/files/63346698/SoftBankMail.CAB.html
then there is EBPocket for all you dictionary needs ^^
http://www31.ocn.ne.jp/~h_ishida/EBPocket.html
and last but not least, if you want GPS navigation in japan, use Garmin Mobile XT... its the only program with coverage of the whole country (@others : yeah yeah, i know, mapking, but mapking only has a map for tokyo city area, bummer...)
