I HAVE THAT PHONE! It's pretty awesome once you know how to crack the software to download music and videos and stuff into it... I think it's impossible to use it in Canada because the Korean phone shops in LA make it so that it works on Verizon Wireless which is not available in Canada... But I don't live in Canada so I'm not sure...

i LOVE SKY PHONES TOO!

But i heard that since you use american service provider, you have to use more money for the service to be transferred to your phone...

I'm not 100% positive but since Verizon uses CDMA technology (as opposed to GSM) and Telus also uses CDMA, I think you should be able to use SKY phones here, assuming that it's CDMA technology.

Actually it's not only that it has to be CDMA but it also has to be on the same bandwidth(?) -- Verizon Wireless and SKT are but I don't know if Telus is as well - I'm guessing not because if it was then there'd be more people in Canada with Korean phones (I have not seen any Korean phones being used in Canada so far)

True enough =D

I asked my friend who works at Telus about Verizon phones and he said it probably won't work cause the phone has to be programmed for the certain service provider T^T how sad.

MINJI.v your phone is so pretty!

MINJI.v GORGEOUS phone!

I have a few questions for you..

1) You can use your (or any Sky brand) cell phone anywhere in the U.S./California, right? I'm really thinking about getting one.
2) How much did you pay for your phone?
3) Is there English text programmed on it or is it only Korean?
4) The place/specific store/website you got your phone at? smile.gif

Thank you<33

I got it as a present so I don't know how much it costs but a lot? You can use Korean phones anywhere Verizon Wireless has service since you use it with Verizon Wireless... It has English on it but I use it in Korean x)
