    Anybody have a link to a useful guide to buying mobile phones from foreign countries? I've gone the google route and can't quite find the right guide for Ireland.

    Alls I know is they need to be unlocked. And also tri & quad band are the only types of phones that will work here?

    If somebody would care to write some tips, because they're much cheaper to buy from abroad.

    Cheers

    Specifically what country are you interested in?

    Have a look at www.mobilefly.com and www.celluloco.com
    Might be of interest.

    Hi
    I am thinking of buying a HTC S1 from china on alibaba.com
    didnt know it needed to be a dual or tri band
    its costing 144usd shipped to my door is it worth the risk :confused:

    oh the time machine is working.. Lol
    alibaba would be fine but you might have to pay import customs and excise
