It's frighteningly easy....

....to sit at your computer at 1:45 a.m. and purchase an unlocked GSM phone and all the internal gizmos you need for it to work upon arrival in a place like Bangkok.

It cost me less to purchase this outfit that it did for my US Verizon phone. Tragic.

The cool thing is that this phone can pretty much anywhere around the world that uses the GSM 900/1800 technology. This is the probable coverage area I can get in Thailand.
