Phones on contract in Spain - General Topics

Hello Friends,
My friend just got an admission to MBA course in IE Spain. He is not sure about the mobile phone contracts there. We checked a couple of sites like movistar.es, Vodafone etc.. But all of them are in spanish, So couldnt understand a lot.
It would be very convinient if anybody could inform me about some value for money contracts. My requirements are:
1. Some nice HTC handset(HD, Hero, Pro 2) or Blackberry(Bold,Curve,Storm)
2. Emphasis on calls to UK. and India if possible.But UK first .
3. Handsome data connection.
Thank you in advance.
PS. Moderators please move this thread to the right area if I have posted in the wrong section.

Vodafone -> telenor

Hi.
Here in sweden Vodafone has been bought by the norweigan company "Telenor"..
I wonder if you could change/add it to the list of mobile operators at the profile editor?

(Not related to any of the companies, just having a hard time to get used to the change myself, so I thought that it would help remind me. 8) )
We buy everything with our oil money! Next step is Drottningholm! It's closed for the takeover right now... :twisted:

Release Date HTC x7510 & Networks UK?

Hi all,
Anyone know or guesstimate for UK release for the upcoming X7510. Any ideas on which UK networks it will be released on. T-mobile I presume is a pretty safe bet on ideas on Vodafone etc?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and look forward to any info.

i heard it was going to be on orange...
id say youre right about t-mobile, but iw willl probe be silver [urgh !]
vodafone, i doubt it, they dont have many ppc's, and o2, the same, but then again, they could surprise us.

o2 were the first in this country with a windows PDA phone namely the original XDA (also made by HTC) so you never know they might get them yet.
Hi Tom,
At the moment Vodafone don't have any details regarding the release of the X7510.
I have saved this threads URL so if I do get any information in relation to the phone I will let you know.
Sorry I couldn't give you any more information.

phone alternatives while traveling in europe

Hi to all. Im the proud owner of an Htc evo Fully rooted and also a treo pro both on sprint network. I'm traveling to europe in 2 weeks and unfortunately i'm pretty sure neither of theses phones will work there. Could someone point me in the direction of a cheap way to call back home and maybe even have my family call me. I'm taking my MacBook so I've considered skype or maybe fring but have never used either so I'm not 100% of their capabilities any help would be greatly appreciated. Thxs in advance
I was told about this site... is this the best deal( or even a good deal) will be visiting the Uk, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and France

Welcome to forums
Right, CDMA phones are only used in US and a few Latin American countries, the rest of the world uses GSM.
Some of CDMA devices have also the chance to insert a normal SIM card, not sure if your devices can...
If not I guess that link will save you from being connected while traveling on GSM world.

[Q] Advie taking my HTC HD2 Windows outside the UK to Europe,USA,S.E.Asia and OZ.

Hi all, I am a newbie *waves*
Got a question I can't seem to find on the internet, so I thought I would joing this forum to see if anyone can help.
I have an HTC HD2 using "Windows Mobile 6.5", on a contract, which I am going to cancel as I am well outwith my contractual agreement on the T-Mobile network in the United Kingdom.
My girlfriend and I are going travelling for a year, to numerous countries, including most of Europe, USA, Nepal, India, most of South East Asia and Australia. I am wondering if it is possible to use my HTC HD2 abroad, by unlocking from the T-Mobile network (not sure if that is the right terminology, sorry) so I can buy pay as you go Sim Cards from different networks in the countries above to keep costs down.
I was also informed that some phones do not work in certain countries because of tri-band, quad-band issues, again I am not clued up if the HTC HD2 will work in other countries, so any help on the matter would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Norman.

[Q] Can a Huawei Ascend P6 or P7 be simlocked?

So I am on this great trip through Asia (currently in Nepal, for the curious), but unfortunately my HTC phone got wet and stopped serving me. So soon I will be going to Bangkok, and I was considering getting myself a phone there. My question is whether phones in Thailand, and especially the Huawei Ascend brand, come with a simlock? I also wonder the same for the Samsung Galaxy line. And if these phones are simlocked, are these locks easily removed? I know that Huawei delivers tools to root your phone easily, but does rooting also give me a simlock free phone?
Probably this question has been answered somewhere on this forum, but please excuse me for not searching thoroughly since Nepal has horrible internet connections and posting this question already requires tremendous efforts and time. So imagine what searching a forum would be like.

Galaxy Series have both sim locked and unlocked versions!!
the can be locked to orange, o2, version, or few like this..
i have tried unlocking s2 and s3 they were real easy to unlock..
if you want i could also make you a video tutorial for that.. just subscribe to my youtube channel (see my signature)
or you could simply buy an unlocked one ie international version of phone!!
Hope you enjoy your trip
Ok great, so Galaxy series would be a safe bet. Im not sure if I should trust the sometimes dodgy resellers in Bangkok though, that's why I also would like to know for sure for the Huawei series. I can't seem to find any reference of it on google though.
