| 384487 | 2005-08-29 08:05:00 | Hello folks, it is been some time since I last contributed a post. Anyway, I will go straight to the point. My mom just brought over a Nokia 3210 handphone to New Zealand. She wants to apply for a simcard from a wireless telecommunication service. She is a light handphone user and doesn't text nor call much. My question is: Which one, Vodafone or Telecom's package suits her scenario the best? I have no experience at all in terms of handphone, so I can only rely on you guys. Thank you very much. Cheers :) |

If you wished to use Telecom as your service provider you would need a phone based on the CDMA technology. Oops, sorry. The model number is 3310. Still, I don't think there is much difference between those two. Anyway, what is CDMA? Cheers :) |
