Hi Everyone
I have called the Finnish Service technician and
talked with him.
Also called overseas
customer assistance and have been listening to endless
songs while on telephone waiting and now finally they
responded with an email:
Finnish
Cell phone service provider Saunalahti inc.

Translated above paragraph
Hi
In America you must have a 3 - frequency phone,
You must read the ownersmanual, is your
model on of the above?
{ Yes it is }
Were did you buy it?
{ In Finland at a kiosk }
{ Because the phone is Sim locked by The original
manufacturer NOKIA } There is no
way to unlock it by KOLUMBUS a SIM
card provider in Finland.
Finnish Prepaid cards will never work in a
foreign country.
I have added here a quote from the Finnish
owners manual of the Vodafone 715 that
I purchased.
"Vodafone 715 - puhelinta voit kayttaa
lahes kaikissa maissa.
Se vaihtaa automaattisesti verkkoja ,
kuten WCDMA 2100 ja GSM 900/1800/1900 .
Näin voit kayttaa matkapuhelinta missa tahansa "
the above in English
You can use the Vodafone 715 - telephone
in nearly all foreign countries.
{ Except the United States }
It will automatically change networks,
like WCDMA 2100 and GSM 900/1800/1900.
This way you can use the cell phone anywhere.
A clever way to screw over unsuspecting tourists in
Finland....
We here in Binghamton are in GSM coverage area 1900
this phone will not work as advertised.
A sim card was installed at Cingular and the phone
came back
with a SOS message on the lower right part of the
screen and a message Emergency use only.

Translated above paragraph it gets better...
Should you like to order a service from us,
You must have a permanent residence in Finland
and A Finnish Sosial Security Number, We will also
not
unfortunately provide service to foreign countries,
and we will not accept checks , all billing will
happen electrnically.
Way to be screwed by the Finns.

Hi,
Sorry to hear about your non-working Vodafone. May I purchase it from you? I'm unable to email you directly, only to post here - let me know!
