GSM手機應該在溫哥華還是香港買 ？

AAC

假如年中有十個月，都在加拿大使用手機的話，應該在溫哥華還是香港出GSM手機 ？
溫哥華機價便宜，機款少，上鎖，但月費貴；
香港機價(不上台的話)較貴，但款多又無上鎖；
點考慮 ？

If you have low usage, you can consider PetroCanada Mobility.  Get the Nokia 3555 which is an unlocked world band phone.  So you can use it in both HK and Canada.  It is $149

Also, the prepaid service they offer is $0.20 a minute.  Recharge has 180 day expiry time.  Good for low volume user

nono, you can unlock most phone you get from rogers/fido here  

Are you saying unlocked by Rogeres/Fido agents ?

I've been using Telus phones for years and don't have any GSM phone unless travelling in China and HK.
Now, I need to stay in HK/China two months in a year. When my contract with Telus is expired early next year, I want to switch to GSM system and don't care much about the fancy phone.  To be honest, I don't mind a cell phone without camera, MP3, Video player.... as long as it's slim and reliable.   Therefore, I want to know should I get one unlocked from Hong Kong if I need to join Vancouver local plan anyway.

Phone prices are about the same in HK and Van.

if you're willing to sign up for a plan and you don't care about getting the latest/greatest model, get the phone from rogers/fido

Does it mean if I need to use my local GSM phone in HK and China during my trip, I must get the unlocked phone from HK ?
