Hey everyone,

I started a thread last year relating to a problem I thought I had with my AT&T Gophone SIM that I was going to use in Mexico.

The gist of the problem was that a "quad band" phone I purchased on focalprice.com was actually a tri band and, hence, wouldn't pick up AT&T and Telcel in Mexico.

Folks indicated that some of the chinese quad bands are really tri-bands.

I am back to Mexico in a few months and wanted to see if anyone has any experience with dual sim, quad bands THAT ACTUALLY WORK with a Telcel SIM!

If you can recommend a seller, then great!

I was thinking of gambling with focal price again and try a different quad-band dual-sim model, but thought I'd ask here first.

Focal price--although slow--was pretty good to work with for the refund. But it probably cost me $15 or so to send the phone back to China. So I would like to try and get something that works this time around to avoid the hassle!

Any suggestions?
