Xbox Live Question .............?
I have a few Question regarding Xbox live ..... 1 . I live in Cambodia and i have a cousin who live in New Zealand , so i fake my account locale to New Zealand and ask him to buy Microsoft Prepaid card for me , will it work ? 2. I heard xbox live membership cards are region-free , is that right ? can i used a card i bought from singarpore and used it ? some internet site got me confused , they said the card are indeed region-free , but only for 3 months subcription and the 12 + 1 are not , also , if i want to use the card cross region , i have to tell the retailer to get me the region-free membership card , otherwise he'll get me the card that i can only use within the region that i bought the card . 3. based on region , does it mean i can bought a card from singapore and used it in china , since they are asian countries ? 4. if i had 1 years left on my membership and i bought a new 1 year membership card and kept unredeemed until i used all the years i had , will the card that i kept unredeemed expired ? 5 . if u using chinese-speaking countries account ( singapore , china ) , when u go to the game market place , u'll see two languages of the game title appear , one in chinese and other in english , is there anyway i change that to only english

Unlocked is always better. You should try to buy without contract.
2 :
If you want to buy an unlocked phone with no contract, you will have to buy it online. Prepare to spend big money. If you buy at retail for $200/$300, you have to sign the 2 year AT&T contract for $70/month and up.
3 :
I paid US $450 for an unlocked, 8-gb 3G iPhone on eBay. I used it here in Thailand (right next to Cambodia) with no problems until I made the big mistake of upgrading to firmware 2.2.1 which has the baseband version 02.30. It is easy to accidentally make this upgrade (and now it's firmware 3.0), so the important thing is to never use apple or iTunes to upgrade anything at all. The important thing to know is that there does NOT exist a free solution to re-unlock your iPhone if you have this baseband 02.30. The only solution is to then get a turbo card like a rebel card - there are many out there. For updating, adding software, etc., you will have to learn Quickpwn, etc. Start out by looking at my link from the iPhone dev-team. Back to your question, you need to be prepared to spend more money on an unlocked 3G iphone - it will work here in Asia okay - but there's a learning curve - like with everything.

Just talk to them in English, and make sure everyone that child speaks to is in English. Also some english tv, cartoons, and books should help .
2 :
Okay, the way to make your children bilingual is for them to grow up speaking English. At home, only speak to them in English. When they are out, living in Cambodia, they will learn Cambodian. So, my advice is to speak in English at home, they will learn Camboodian outside of the home. There are also probably some English Saturday schools etc, where children, who grow up in English speaking houses can go to learn more English. You'll have to research these special schools.

Talk to them in English only, have them watch English cartoons, read English books, etc. Don't know if it is possible there but try to find some preschool/school with English lectures. Basically try to keep everything they come into contact with (audio, visual, people) in English.

Just speak english to them, all the time... They'll naturally pick up the language they hear the most. If they hear a lot of Cambodian on a reglar basis though, when they start speaking, you might get an interesting mix of the two languages, lol. I grew up in France, but I learned english at a very young age, just from hearing my dad speak it and watching tv. Honestly, I think I soaked up more english from cartoons than I ever did from my dad :)
5 :
start early ( my daughter was introduced 2 a few simple words at the age of 2) speak in english-(-i used 2 speak 2 her in english as i wanted her to understand her lessons in primary school !) gt her 2 read bks (i also encouraged her 2 read bks! she started wth noddy books ,went on to other enid blyton books ).
