It might not be down to lack of a network but lack of a roaming agreement with your phone company. Also if they only offer 2G then good luck with using anything web based and assuming free wifi will always be available as an alternative is assuming rather a lot. I forget when was the last time I was foolish enough to let my phone's battery run out when I needed it. Years ago, at any rate. If you use smartphones a lot the battery can go within a day which isn't much use if you're spending the day away from the hotel. Unless you carry the charger and adaptor everywhere you go and hope you can find a socket somewhere. degree. It won't work when a Chinese tourist who doesn't speak English is lost in London, where no-one (yeah, yeah) speaks Chinese. If someone visits a country that doesn't speak a language they know and they don't even bother to learn basic emergency phrases in the local lingo then more fool them. B2003 |
