If the phone is unlocked, it will work fine in Malaysia. But you won't get internet on the phone as it only works with T-Mobile. If you need unlocked Sidekick cheaper, you can mail me to manchurianp@yahoo.com

You don't. Asking about illegal activity is in violation of your terms of service and you'll be banned from using this website.

DONT work if you don't have a permit. Apply for a permit, ask the Malaysian embassy in your country and they will tell you how to get a working permit. It may cost a lot, but at least you won't need to hide and run when the law enforcement arrives. An employer may reject you if you don't have a working permit. You may meet employer that will accept you, however there are high chances that they will exploit you. And if you are caught, don't bother to rely on your employer because he will be charged too because of you. Why don't you work at your own country? Use the skills that you have learned when you are in studying and apply them into you life. It may hard but hey! Life is not a bed of roses. Don't forget if you go abroad, more money will be spent and higher chances of being stuck in a fraud. Don't risk your life and time on foreign lands that you don't know well.

Do US laptops work in Malaysia

Do US laptops work in Malaysia?
I am moving to Malaysia and would like to buy a laptop to use there. I am thinking of purchasing one at an electronics store here in the US. Will it work out of the box in Malaysia? Do I need a power adapter or does Malaysia have the same voltage as us? If not, should I buy a Malaysian laptop that is better suited for their voltage or are they identical with the exception of AC/DC adapter?

Since they are a poorer country the voltage might be different, but I really don't know. As for the laptop, you will be fine. In fact, many US laptops are sold in Malaysia anyway.
2 :
If you are planning to move to Malaysia permanently or for an considerable length of time then I would purchase a laptop while you are over there. Not only would it cost less but if you have any problems with your U.S laptop, then you would have to ship it back home to get it repaired or try and find a Malaysian repair shop. If you are only going for a short period of time then yes, it will work although you would have to buy either a voltage converter or a simple converter to change the plug output. Unfortunately I am not sure what they use over there.
3 :
it will work, they usually sport around 220-240 volts but if you are in a nice hotel, a receptionist will provide you with an adapter
4 :
Most of the laptop power adapter is of worldwide voltage or auto voltage.Do physically check if it is so.The malaysian voltage is of 220-240Volts.The standard power plug point is of the British type with earth.Just get a 2 prong power adapter from any computer stores or hardware stores in Malaysia.Theres no problem with repairs as all major computer companies have their office in Kuala Lumpur. Beware of malaysian snatch thieves. Good luck
5 :
Buy it in Malaysia.Elecrtronics are fairly cheap there. Also as some one else mentioned, servicing it would be difficult if you buy it in the US. I made a mistake of buying an Apple G4 from the US while I live inthe Middle East. It had a major problem from the first day. And I couldn't be bothered to send a heavy computer back to the US for service. Even if you pay a little extra in Malaysia for your laptop it's still worth being able to get it serviced there.
6 :
Yes of course it will work here. But since you'll be MOVING to Malaysia, I wouldn't suggest that. Because of luggage, carrying & etc. won't be that good & will cost some money. You can easily purchase laptops in Malaysia besides on online. Dell, HP, Apple Mac all have centers here & provides online purchase & delivery right to your home. If you would like to make your purchase yourself, here are a few good IT centers for various brands, gadgets & versions at:- Digital Mall, Location: Section 14, Petaling Jaya, State: Selangor. Low Yatt Plaza, Location: near Imbi Monorail Station, Kuala Lumpur. & most shopping malls have their own IT floor as well. Actually most states have computers shops for basic hardwares & softwares.
7 :
Being "poorer" had nothing to do with laptops. Can I suggest that you buy one when you arrive. That way you can be guaranteed that it will work on whatever electrical system you come across and will not have to buy any more attachments. You can always give it away/sell it when you leave
8 :
Buy there or better still get it from Singapore - computer capital of the world - wider choices, better prices! Singapore's voltage is 220 - 240 volts AC, 50 cycles per second (same in Msia). There are two options. If the voltage and cycles are the same as Singapore's you can purchase adapters. The plugs for the outlet are three pronged. You can buy adapters in any hardware store, and they'll cost you between $10.00 and $12.00 Singapore dollars. I recommend the adapter where you can simultaneously plug in two pronged; flat and round, and three pronged plugs. If the voltage and cycles are not compatible you can purchase transformers. Any appliance with a clock in it will not keep the correct time and my colleague tells me her lamps over heat. Stereos will work fine using a transformer, but TV's may be in another format and unable to receive the signal here, so you should check with the manufacturer and see what they recommend (for example a US TV will not work in Singapore; the Singapore signal is sent in PAL format). Any appliances that run continuously or that are used frequently are not recommended to be used with transformers as it can damage the motor after using for a period of time. Any DIY store (same as a hardware store) has a good selection of various transformers and converters. There is also a website that sells these items. They do not provide too much information though so unless you know exactly what you want it may not be too helpful. Here is their address: http://www.travelsupplies.com

Your laptop will work fine anywhere in the world. Just make sure it comes with a 110/220 universal charger, which should as all laptop are supposed to come with it. Just to be sure, ask to make sure the laptop you are purchasing comes with this universal charger. That will allow you to plug in and charge your battery/laptop and it will work normally. Next, you will need to purchase a universal plug adapter which allows you to plug into any type of plug point in the world as different country/continent uses different type of plug points. Some 3 pins, some 2 pins, some round pins, some flat pins etc etc etc, which I find it makes life complicated for no reason at all. But anyhow, I guarantee you that you will find this small investment in purchansing this little gadget and having it with you whenever you travel, the best investment you have ever made !! Bon voyage !!

Get an international warranty if you plan to buy in the US. Some of the laptops in US are cheaper... we use this plug http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/86/G_plug.png and you guys use this http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/6/67/P2050397.JPG/449px-P2050397.JPG you can get a travel adapter cheap from wallmart, etc. http://www.selftrading.co.uk/shop/images/uni_power_adapter.jpg Changing the plug from US to Malaysian plug wouldn't cost much too. you can do it over here ( malaysia) GOOD LUCK! and have fun in Malaysia. contact me if you wanna know more about Malaysia =)

breadbasket231 never been to malaysia. Dont listen to him. Malaysia is not a Poor country. We are One of the most developed country in the world. Probably breadbasket231 is still living up a tree and have never learn about world geography. Malaysia electricity is based on the UK system at 220-240V at 50Hz. If yrs is based on a 110V, u can always get an adapter. Dell have their Manufacturing plant in Penang, Malaysia. All laptop that have Intel Processer, the Intel processor is manufactured in Penang, Malaysia. All major Player like SOny, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Hyundai, Compag, Hp, Canon, IBM, Lenovo are all here. That guy is living in a pond. Dont listen to him. James C
12 :
Yes, it will. A laptop is fed via a "mini-transformer" which is capable of automatically adjusting to various input voltage levels. But, you might have the problem that the "funny" US plugs do not fit into the Malaysian power outlets. So, buy your laptop locally or in Singapore. The "poor" countries of Western Europe have the same voltage as Malaysia, so who came up with the idea that electric current levels are related to purchasing power per capita?
13 :
Of course your laptop will work here. Otherwise just buy one in Malaysia, it isnt that expensive either. You will find all the major brands selling laptop here like fish cakes. We have Apples, Toshiba, Compaq, Sony etc. For heaven sakes, dont listen to the first answerer. He must have been hiding in his cave all his life. Electronic goods are cheap.

When i visited the U.S in 2003, i bought a laptop from Portland, Oregon and it worked just fine in Malaysia. The laptop came with an adaptor. The voltage in U.S and Malaysia is different. You can buy cheap good brands laptops at the IT fairs there. Breadbasket ... you sounded so dumb!! For your info, Intel and Hewlett Packard hv big factories there. The country is one of the biggest manufacturers of computer chips and hardware and other electronic parts in the world. Their computers are sold in the U.S. Maybe you ought to read or get out of your cocoon.

braed,if u r not sure don't mess, but u seem to be no# 1, congratulation! it sound like Malaysian voltage is 110 minus 1 or 2 or 3 = 109/108/107 volt. but it comes out to be 220/240 volts. much bigger than urs, surprise!
