i use the phone in the US. Do not have a regular date plan here. It does work at 2G here at the present time when I pay for daily service.This is a European model. The frequency bands used are as follows.2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 19003G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 21004G Network LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600If any of these bands are offered in Thailand, should work OK.

You need to make sure your phone has the proper bandwidth for your region/country, and that it's unlocked. Check with your provider for bandwidth information.

I live in the US and had the same problem. I have AT&Tand; they told me it is because the phone is not assigned to a specific carrier. So there is no guarantee your data plan will work with an unlocked phone. They told me to call Samsung which got me no where. Samsung told me to call AT&T; and they were able to fix it.

Call your cell service provider and have them help you adjust the network settings so that your phone can connect to the internet. The problem is that the phone arrives with UK network connection settings and those need to be adjusted in the apn section of the settings menu

What you need to do is enter the right 'APN' settings for the carrier you use in Thailand. Once you do that and if you have internet on your plan you'll be able to get it. You won't have access until you enter the right apn settings.

I live in t&t; and as soon as I inserted the sim the data settings arrived and I started using internet right away, so the problem may be your service provider

I have used this phone in parts of the world. U need t edit apn setting to the phone company's setting that ur using. Go to settings, cellular, edit inter apn and in the apn add the setting ur service provider requires. For example AT&T; requires only "phone" in the apn and rest blank but other company's have different requirements. Hope this help.

Maybe it is because it is not compatible with the carrier or country GSM services

You have to have access to the Internet via wi-fi or other. That's a must. And some devices aren't allowed use on air travel. I do however have it on my Wolvol and it works and downloads great.

I bought this as a present for my sister who lives in the uk. I used it in us and had no problem but didn't try the wifi here. I don't see why it shouldn't work.

Anywhere there is WiFi. It is't a tablet is tied to a wireless plan It's a good little tablet but not as intuitive as more recent generations are but still handy for web surfing or downloading books.

You have to be somewhere where there is Wifi, like home or starbucks/panera's/internet cafes, etc.

Unfortunate the wifi is hopeless. Lots of unhappy Sony customers of complaining of this all over the internet. Sony have not been able to fit it. The only way I can connect to is to use a wifi dongle. There is a super small wireless used cad called something like Edimax. Disable the internal wfi card which comes with the lap top and used the dongle, if you want to use wifi on this laptop. Its crazy - so crazy the retailer gave me all my money and let me keep the lap top. The retailed paid up because I wasted a lot of time an money trying to get a fix from Sony which never came.

No, I did a lot of research before I purchased this computer. I didn't bother to look for built in wifi as it is such a common feature. I expected it to be in there but it wasn't. Great computer other than that. PS Wifi dongles are cheap!

It didn t work in China where I spent 10 days. My hotel had the ethernet cable in the room but ..nothing. Fortunately, I could use the wifi area to work with the device. I don t know if it will be the same thing in another country. Gianfranco

I have never had a problem connecting with wifi. Since I am not a "techie", I would call Samsung support.

I have absolutely NO problem with the WiFi. I have had NO problem with this machine at all since I got it . I was afraid to get it for the same reason.

Yes....I do have prob with the wifi very badly...it is really not working in mine...when I got it checked in India I heard they saying it is due to partition problem...that they might have not done the partition properly.

When I bought this, I thought it was ready for wifi but it's not. I'm thinking I need to purchase an airport card (extra $30). I can't get an answer on this. Sorry, not sure I helped.

What the others are saying. I was unable to find a software update online, so I had to run a wired connection to the TV set to update. I too am having WiFi issues, and the software update did not help. I've tried two access points without success. I'm going to try a third AP sometime today. Regardless of the outcome, I have a Sharp Tech scheduled to come out on Wednesday.

Yes, I have logged onto wifi at Wendy's, McDonalds, and Starbucks. I didn't purchase internet service from a provider. I only use wifi.

The item is actually at the Amazon warehouse (we have 3 there presently) and 2 at our warehouse, but there is an issue with the details page that Amazon displays that shows it having WiFi when it does not. We are actively working with them on fixing the issue.

We used it while in Jamaica last month and didn't have a problem. The resort we stayed at had wifi and we were able to connect without issues.
