Do mobile phones from usa/hong kong/china work in the UK
Do mobile phones from usa/hong kong/china work in the UK?
I wanted to buy some phones from the three places, USA/HONG KONG and CHINA and were wondering would they function normally just like any other phone from the UK? If not why and what would i need to do to make them work??

Whether or not a phone will work depends on the type of network the phone can be used on, the frequency the your network uses, and whether or not your phone has a software lock. Type of network can include GSM, CDMA, and TDMA. You may have heard the term quadband, meaning that phone can take four different frequencies (850/900/1800/1900). Software locks are done by service providers to prevent that branded phone to be used on a different network. These phones can typically be unlocked. Basically, you'll need to find out what specifications are needed by the UK service provider and then buy a phone that matches those specifications.

People in Hong Kong often have black hair and eat chinese food. Try not to be too suprised, it might offend them. Don't worry, they are nice people after all.

We do not take any liability for the accuracy of material supplied by third parties. Company Structure Foreign companies that rush into the China market often make two common mistakes: first, entering China without a carefully planned risk mitigation strategy and secondly, failing to develop an exit strategy for the worst case scenario – the death of a venture. There are many implications in going directly into China, these include: * Exposure to potential legal and financial risk arising from China’s tight monetary controls; * Entrapment in complex and unfamiliar corporate compliance procedures; * Trying to keep up to date with the forever changing laws; or simply * Repatriating profits out of China. With no exit strategy, companies may find themselves waiting months or even years to rationalize assets and repatriate capital. Many companies are stunned by heavy taxes which could have been avoided with appropriate early tax planning to minimize liabilities both in China and in the home country. Both large and small companies face similar risks, although large multinational corporations tend to have greater financing capabilities and therefore a larger tolerance for bearing such risk. This unfortunately is not the case for the majority of SMEs.A wrong move may mean a very expensive and time-consuming fix. Nevertheless, regardless of whether an investor in China is a large multinational corporation or an entrepreneurial SME, the question remains, why take unnecessary risks, when these can be mitigated? Foreign investors have a number of options available when deciding on the type of FIE they use to establish a presence in China. Different FIEs provide varying levels of flexibility and enable the business to conduct a broad spectrum of commercial activities in China.

Marion Udall's advice is based on her personal experiences of relocating to Hong Kong. She has guided many families through the pitfalls of Hong Kong relocation. Each assignment is tailored to the individual orientation needs of the family engaging her. Marion can meet you at your hotel and take you around Hong Kong Island, introduce you to various residential areas and arrange introductions to schools, clubs, gyms, estate agents or social groups She can assist with applications for a Hong Kong working visa (where the employer is registered and trading in Hong Kong), a Hong Kong drivers license and an ID card. Fees for Marion's Hong Kong Island orientation service are based on HK$300 ph or part thereof, plus expenses (e.g. car and driver at a further HK$300 ph), payable in cash or by advance bank transfer. The minimum session is four hours, except in the case of a Hong Kong work visa application where the fees are fixed at $6,000 per application plus disbursements. The fee for lodging an associated dependants visa application is fixed at $3,000 plus disbursements.Many companies will pay or reimburse the fees for an orientation service, as this assistance speeds assimilation and reduces the risk of a relocation failing.

The 1st Answerer is rightly said, Hongkongers are generally nice and kind-hearted although on the surface they dont initiate "friendliness" as most people of larger cities. Hong Kong and the Mainland China is very different, people's attitudes and mentality towards work and business are much closer to the West. This makes Hong Kong a perfect blend of the East and West, out in the business and work environments, people follow the rules and regulations just as people in the West do, ie no undertable dealings as so often happened in the Mainland. At home they practise confucianism in respecting the elderly and closely knitted family ties. The nicest thing about Hong Kong is that you could live like a king being surrounded by all sorts of luxuries and clubbing. At the same token there're many affordable apartments rentals, restaurants and shops to choose. There's always something that suit your budget. Check www.DiscoverHongKong.com and enjoy!

I myself live in Hong Kong I'm just in America to see my sister. I might be a little young to answer this and I hope...my English isn't too messy to confuse you. Hong Kong generally is a crowded place. We live in apartments often located above shopping centers. Working technically means beating the subway to whatever location your work place is. Its a good place to live an generally people are nice. But the problem is the amount of people. I have to go to school in the early hours and I get squished a lot. But working in Hong Kong shouldn't be a major problem. If you live there you will have to get used to smaller spaces because my apartment is about three rooms including bathroom. Technically it wouldn't be difficult if you get used to it. One more thing, in Hong Kong the summers are really hot. Like, really hot. Right now I'm in Las Vegas but Hong Kong is much more hot. Also it rains a lot so always bring along an umbrella. I have no idea why I went off topic to the weather. But you will enjoy it. Lots of entertaining places and shopping centers. Good Luck if you're considering moving there.

As an American born and raised in HK until I left for the US for university at 18, YES. it is a GREAT place to work. If you've never been to asia, its a great place for you to get acclimated, as it has a very cosmopolitan east-meets-west atmosphere. It's cleaner than most cities in Asia, especially those right across the border in China. Also, it has very relaxed visa policies for many countries, and really has a lot to offer when it comes to cultural activities, freedom of speech and expression, liberal laws, an excellent police force, a SWAT team trained by british special forces (Special air service trained the SDU), a legendary nightlife, and just so much to do. The people are great too. I'm just humouring myself here.

Would a "Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows" made in Hong Kong work for me
Would a "Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows" made in Hong Kong work for me?
I don't want to have to pay $30 for either a wired controller or the receiver itself. And on eBay, sellers in Hong Kong have them cheaper (about $11-$15). But i bought my 120gb hard drive for 360 from Hong Kong, and it lacks a specific driver or component or code that would allow me to play original 360 games.. so I am skeptical that this wireless receiver from hong kong would work properly or even be compatible with my american made PC, 360 controller, and PC games.. >>EDIT<< "But I bought my 120gb hard drive for 360 from Hong Kong, and it lacks a specific driver or component or code that would allow me to play original >>>Xbox<<< games..." I meant games like Halo 1 and 2 and other games from the original Xbox. It's a known issue, it's because it's not made by Microsoft. So I don't know if the wireless gaming receiver would work or maybe be missing something like that.

most stuff that is "original" is made in hong kong in the first place. the problem with your hard drive is very suspicous i agree, but it is always a gamble with cheap stuff from ebay. the problem here is really: either take the gamble and buy cheap but take the risk of broken/not working items; or: buy it more expensive from a local retailer and have a product that works. my solution: you can always look out for used recievers. they might be just about the same price as the ones from china. alternatively you can buy a wired controller. it can be used or not "original" xbox and still work with your pc. i have a speedlink (xbox layout) controller for my pc games and that one works nicely. i payed just about 10€ for it hope it helps cheers
