Mr Shkurhan of Fanling was informed that the 'tri-band' mobile phone he bought from 3 Mobile was in fact a 'dual-band' one after he complained several times that the handset failed to have roaming service in overseas countries.

'In February of last year, I purchased a handset from 3 Mobile,' he said.

'I was adamant that I needed a tri-band unit that would work in Japan and Canada. The salesperson assured me that the LG handset I was purchasing would work in both countries.

'In June, I went to the Mong Kok service centre to get the roaming service activated.

'After I paid a HK$1,000 deposit, the staff member checked my handset and announced that the roaming service would be active within three hours.
