| 790603 | 2009-07-10 06:54:00 | Hi, XT phones won't work in Vodafone right? Nokia E75. In terms of taking a XT phone overseas and use a simcard bought locally there, that is easy to get right? Phone number portability does not apply to prepay right? Thanks. |

| 790604 | 2009-07-10 11:33:00 | Pretty sure Vodafone will let you keep your prepay number nowadays - wasn't the case originally when number portability was introduced. Says so right at the top of their "On Account" webpage. |

| 790606 | 2009-07-10 12:02:00 | A SIM card is a SIM card is a SIM card. Any prepay SIM card you buy overseas will fit in an XT or GSM phone. Whether the phone has the right frequencies available is another matter entirely. Buy a quad-band 3G phone if you want to use it anywhere. |

| 790607 | 2009-07-10 12:26:00 | I just had a look at the manual Nokia E75 and it list About your device The wireless device described in this guide is approved for use on the (E)GSM 850, 900, 1800, and 1900 networks, and UMTS 900/1900/2100 HSDPA networks. This means its a Voda and a XT? |

| 790608 | 2009-07-10 12:27:00 | By the way what is E(GSM)?? So for that I gather might be a XT network? Or is EGSM workable with Voda as well? LIke in a remote area without the fancy stuff (next line). But the UMTS while maybe at selected areas can be used with Voda? |

| 790609 | 2009-07-10 12:36:00 | EGSM is EDGE . A faster connection than GPRS but slower than 3G You can roam anywhere with telecom's cellphone as it can run on 2100mhz frequency. This frequency is used in most continents. And the mobile of telecom's cellphone should work with vodafone since it has 2100mhz . You might wanna check on that |

| 790610 | 2009-07-11 00:10:00 | Ninja, I downloaded the users manual off the XT site and off the Voda site and read the pages where it talks about what network it does. It is the same. So .. is the E75 the same phone if you walked into a Telecom or a Vodafone store? |

So .. is the E75 the same phone if you walked into a Telecom or a Vodafone store? No There are different versions of E75. The american version of E75 is suitable for telecom's network while the rest of the world's E75 will work with vodafone as well as america but only 2G. If you walk into telecom with a vodafone mobile it won't work since telecom doesn't have 2G 850MHZ. |

| 790612 | 2009-07-11 00:41:00 | Ok thanks Ninja It appears XT may have the wrong manual on it. But as a curveball with Telecom in limited areas it can work in 2100 right? With a Voda handset ;) |
