If your phone is tri-band or quad-band, it might work here, but you would be on QTel's network for the calls which means you would be paying INSANE roaming charges. My suggestion is buy a Skype phone and bring your computer and use Skype to call your family. We use Skype and it is only $6 a month, no fees, no extra charges. I would definitely stay away from the roaming, if your phone even works over here. Go to Skype.com and check it out.
