It automatically shows on my nokia 1100 using DTAC. But in the philippines (using some other sim) it did not.

I also think its hilarious that someone would find this useful.

And moreoever, it doesn't tell you exactly where you are. In a large part of the sukumwit area, it always says soi6, and in another very large area it says soi2, etc. Yes, it also shows "soi cowboy", "bumrungrad", etc. Oh, i get so excited with I see that!!! Wow, what a coincidence!!! I'm at soi cowboy and LOOK!! it shows it on the phone!! Sometimes, i have to admit, it is a bit entertaining, when i'm exploring new areas of bangkok and i see a name on the screen i've never seen before...but thats about it.

 

By the way, most cell phones aer about 25% cheaper in the Phil (largely due to the great exchange rates there, and poor ones here, for US dollars).

New unlocked Moto V60i's can be gotten on eBay for under $100 US...

 

Well, I went with that option and the phone I received, although new, was of such poor quality that I sent it back. Compared to the V60gi DTMA I've been using for the last 2 years this thing was a POS; not sure if it was manufactured in China, or at the end of the model run when the molds are out of tolerance, but fit & function both were abysmal. ::

 

Looks as if I'll be shopping MBK this Saturday.

 

Thanks for everyone's advice. :D
