Well this was in the year 2020 or thereabouts. Still the US dude was a pr!ck and an Assh0le for selling the Aussie dude a locked phone, and then doing nothing to remedy the situation!
I did not know that, an Aussie buddy of mine had a US dude bring him over an Eye Phone and it wouldn't work, US dude offered no help or refund, The Aussie guy should have shoved that eye phone up that pr!ck's rectum. With no lube!
I don't think Eye Phones even work in Thailand, they are locked to your home network and don't even operate on the same digital frequency bands that Thailand uses. Buy a Thai phone in Thailand, and you're golden.
