Does anyone noe where i can buy anycll phones online? english site?

[yowzatheman]

sorry but there are no english sites that sell anycall phones. just gotta find a dealer that sells em. they all in LA.

You can't really use them outside Korea. Unless you want a crippled phone, try going to Korean phone dealers. KTown.

[simply_ayu]

yeah try L.A., get it unlocked.. r u looking for a specific model?? i think there are some online links that were posted here before too.. if u wanna order online

even if you buy from korean phone dealers in ktown, they will still be crippled phones. no internet, limited text messaging, etc.

i saw some in china, which was quite odd, thought only korea used them. is there any difference between the samsung and anycall mobiles apart from their names? is it just the cdma version?

i remember i read in the korean news about some people making pirated versions of anycall in korea... they call it like "amycall" and stuff like that XP bootleg >_<

[COUNTERACT]

i saw on the news that they send used anycall phones to china, fix it up a bit, and sell them

[kcinimod]

in hongkong samsung phones are anycall branded, even though they are gsm models. the korean cdma phones are way different from the gsm phones, even if they look the same, usually the korean ones have more functions.

Yea that was what I meant. I guess my wording was kinda confusing. x_x;;

Can't you unlock your cellphone yourself?

i suppose gsm phones can be unlocked by people but cdma... especially korean into u.s. cdma is waaaay more tricky.

[djl09]

wahh so.. if i go to my chinatown (philly) and buy their 275$ unlocked anycall cellphone.. would it even be worth it?

[Eyrique]

what's the difference between cdma n gsm? (google-ed it but yeah, needed simpler explanation lol)

oh, so the bottom line is all anycall phones (haptic, hahaha, or whatever there is in those dramas) can't work outside korea n US is it?

(sorry for the complete noob-ness ;;)

That's up to you. I'd spend $500 on a nice, software unlocked, up to date Japanese phone if I had the money to throw around. Is it worth it in the grand scheme of things? Hell no, but to me, sure.

GSM uses a SIM card and CDMA doesn't.
As for the working part, they CAN work, but to a very simple extent. You're just getting a simplified version of the phone. Usually the people that are into exotic phones are into them because of the way they look, not their features, since we don't get most of the cool features.
You can get calling and texting, but that's about it.

the haptic 2 has a USIM card slot, you could probably use it with a hypersim.

not even 3G or videocalls?? i don't care much bout the online TV or whatever, but if there's no browsing options then I'd rather buy cheap Nokia~

does anycall phones have other names? like the Samsung Corby is the same as Samsung Genio Touch (same phone, different names)

dae5ung
i don't even know if that's available with the local comm companies

[dae5ung]

haptic 2 selling on ebay.

idk if the seller is legit, but i think its possible to use in US?

3G as in internet? No, not an option. I don't know how video calling works, but I would assume that's also internet based, in which case, it doesn't work, either.
Sorry for the bad news. Keitais are pretty much for aesthetic reasons and rich people only :| haha

*bleh* not even internet~ might as well don't buy a phone lol
yeah most of the time i'm buying a phone due to it's looks first, the functions haha maybe that's why i'm so obsessed in having my own Softbank clamshell phone lol (but alas~ T__T)

dae5ung
cool! yeah i think it works fine in the US. anycall phones are sold there anyway~
