gawguy Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 AIS SuperCombo Lava iris 700: 4.5" qHD screen, 1.3gHz Dual Core, 8 GB ROM, 1GB RAM, Battery 2000mAh, Android 4.4 Kitkat, HD Voice, 3G/Edge Now that I've had this thing, my first smart phone, which I was forced to buy because I wanted to use localphone.com for business, now that I've had it for 24 painful hours, please shed light for me. What did I end up with? Oh..I also happened to buy AIS 5GB package for 750 baht. A friend tells me I didn't need that at all and I could have just paid 70 baht. I'm used to buying for an aircard so I thought it was something I had to do to use internet on the phone. I'm not planning to do lots of downloads, like movies. But what do you get for 70baht or whatever? localphone doesn't work for shit! I can make a call and my home phone number in US shows up. I can't disclose locations I travel to, to the people I do business with.That's why I needed it. It wouldn't get going on laptop with aircard, although Skype runs perfectly. So I had to buy a smart phone. Local phone runs and connects. I can hear the callee perfectly. They hear noise and chatter and can barely make out anything I say. It is unuseable. Since I've never had a s/ph before I have nothing to compare the performance to. One of the lads responded in another post that it would only be adequate for email and chores like that because the processor isn't so good. The speed is slower than I expected. Maybe it's average. Does it not have enough resources to run localphone properly, Is that the problem? Thanks, GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted April 5, 2015 Report Share Posted April 5, 2015 I thought you were just going to tether to your laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palatkik Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Never heard of this phone, but a search says it only costs 2690THB! Cannot expect many smarts in a phone for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 LAVA is a very good brand, very pleased the the two I bought others/ If you want people not to know where you are, why not use "SKype Out" - it uses a local number from the USA, or your country of choice.

Mekong Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 PTBM I was under the impression that Skype Out was the normal Skype calling method and Skype In was the service where you can purchase a "Local Number" from one of 24 countries (Australia, USA and UK are in the list) http://www.skype.com/en/features/online-number/?cm_mmc=AFCJ%7C1250_B1-_-10520860-2106946 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 The link you sent is for a Skype Number, that is what I believe I called or used to be called Skype Out. Skype getting a but more sophisticated, however, I think the link points to what he should use, if he wants to hide where he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gawguy Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Returned the phone. Too slow. See new Post. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Not sure the phone is the problem. You are using some sort of VOIP service. A 1GHz cpu should easily handle that task. Did you check the internet speeds? Did you try tethering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
