Hello,
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but if you bring a US cell
phone to Honduras and plan to put a Honduran SIM card in it, make sure
you have the phone "unlocked" first. When you get a phone in the US,
it is usually "locked" to the company that sold it to you (e.g.
T-Mobile, Cingular) and will only accept SIM cards from that vendor.
Sometimes, the vendor will unlock it without hesitation. In other
cases, they want you to be a customer for a few months first. If the
vendor will not unlock the phone, you can find people on the internet
who will do it for a fee. If you do not get the phone unlocked and
then put a SIM in it from a Honduran phone company, you will get an
error message. Some shops down there might be able to unlock it for
you, but may not be able to if your phone comes from a manufacturer with
whom they are not familiar.
Regards,
jsl
