You will need to either get a 900/1800 unlocked GSM phone or a quadband (850/900/1800/1900) unlocked GSM phone. The latter will work in both NA and HK. Motorola RAZR phones are quadband and are now available for as little as $50 or $60.

Regardless you will need a HK SIM. I imagine you can easily get one locally once you land in HK.

Does anyone know if the Nokia 1680 would work in Hong Kong.....I bought the phone in Canada and will be making a short trip to Hong Kong and would like to use this phone over there. I am confused about (dual bands, quads??) that work in North America and not in Asia. I believe there are alot of choices in phones that work in Asia even if you buy it in N.America...but I am not to tech savvy?? any insight would be grateful!!!

I am aware that my Canadian SIM card would not work in HK so I would have to buy a local SIM card and "maybe" a new phone-->pls correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks,
Jackie
