Perth-KL Aug. 30 and bugger-phone left at home. No option but to purchase in Langkawi. Huawei Y541-U02 dual sim. AUD $110. 2G:850/900/1800/1900 Mhz. 3G:UMTS 900/2100 Mhz. Brilliant phone but from those in the know is it compatible to Oz carriers? I use Optus for talk/sms and fluctuate betwixt Vodafone/Vodafone resellers for data. What carriers if any are suitable. Thanks

    Looks like you got lucky - Optus and voda seem to use the 3G 900/2100

    2G is covered on all Optus/Voda/Telstra by 900/1800 according to that link above

    Edit: this link seems clearer: http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/3G_Frequencies

    Thanks so much C&U. I had a notion the phone may not be available in Oz and as stated I had no choice but to buy. I'd been awaiting back home for the right price dual sim anywayz. Thanks again and greetings from Phuket

    I got a HTC E9+ dual sim at Low Yat Plaza, I just made sure that it covered all the Optus and Telstra 4G bands which it does.
    Many phones don't so you need to look to be sure.

    Works fine.
