So long as its unlocked, it will work. BB's typically are world phones and can be used most anywhere in the world. Most likely your BB is already unlocked if you purchased in Taiwan.
2 :
yes it will - all u gotta do is jailbreak it - this is a program you download onto your iphone - it messes around with ya settings and eventually lets you use the phone anywhere regardless of wheres its purchased. it isnt very risky, but be warned, there is always risks when u do stuff like that - ive got one from canada and jail broken it. :) hope ive helped.

How can I find work in Taiwan
How can I find work in Taiwan?
I am looking for work in Taiwan. I am possibly moving with my wife to Taiwan (near Hsinchu city) and I am looking for employment. She will be teaching English. I have not finished my degree so I can not legally teach english while over there. Since I am in the states it is kinda hard to find a job in Taiwan for someone with no degree. My experience is managing restaurants, and working with people (I currently work with youth in a church). The thing is I need to know ASAP as we need to make our decision in the next few days. She will only be making 600 ntd an hour and working 21 hrs a week. Plus substitute teaching on the side.... I dont think that will be enough.

I don't know much about your legal status to work since you're married to someone who works here. I don't know what kind of job you can find. If you don't get any answers here, you may also want to try www.forumosa.com They have a Work questions page that always brings good answers for me. Matt

Don't know what kind of job you want to do. Post your resume and try to find an employer can offer documents that you can apply work permit and work legal: http://www.104.com.tw/service_eng.htm good luck.
3 :
Not sure but you might be able to work on a spousal visa
4 :
Ok, you may still have the option of taking chinese classes to get your visa. You can also try and get your visa by working at a bushiban that will take you. Check out http://www.tealit.com <wow -I have an imitator! LOL! Hey mattfromasia nice name!>

You cannot work at all on a spousal visa. You cannot get a work visa unless you already have a job, and there are very few jobs that foreigners are allowed to do. Some people work for western companies, but they were already employed in the USA or wherever. You already know that you cannot teach English unless you have a degree or a diploma. Some people work illegally.

Do you need a university degree to work in Taiwan
Do you need a university degree to work in Taiwan?
I plan on moving to Taiwan for a year. Accurate information concerning work is hard to come by and often conflicting. I have a couple years of university complete, but haven't yet finished my degree. Is it possible to get a work permit without a diploma?

No you do not need a degree to work here, we have 95 percent of our work force who have degrees. You can find many jobs anywhere with out a degree, jobs such as a jousekeeper, maid, yardman. trash hauler,Bathroom clealner in airport, Beggar on street corner, I could go on and on but you get the drife. GET AN EDUCATION
2 :
I think it is possible, but those are your labor jobs (like janitor etc..) The better jobs would probably require a university degree.
3 :
there are a lot of work in taiwan that doesn't need a degree, but you will be in rank and file position, but that is just a stepping stone when you are new in a country, you can apply for another position when you are there and be properly documented when you want to go to another country..
4 :
That depends on many factors. Where are you from? English teaching is a common job, but you need at least an associates degree and a teaching certificate to do that. Also many jobs with Taiwanese companies will require you to speak Chinese. I see you speak English? Can you speak any other languages? You cannot expect to work even in labor aeas if you cannot speak the language. You can however finish your degree here cheap. Try National Sun Yat-Sen University in Kaohsiung for engineering, business or Chinese. You can also try National Taiwan University in Taipei and many others across the country.
5 :
You need a degree to be a legal english teacher. if you are taking courses in Chinese or something else at the universities here, you can get in as a student, but you need to attend your classes or get kicked out of the country.
6 :
In order to qualify for a Taiwanese employment visa you must have a job offer from a Taiwanese company. In order to get a job offer, you must have education, skills, and/or work experience that makes you more qualified than any available Taiwan citizen for the job. This is the standard for hiring foreign employees in most countries. Generally speaking, individuals must be well qualified to get a job offer and employment visa. Taiwan recruits ultra-low-wage contract workers from foreign countries to fill unskilled construction and housekeeping positions. These employees are hired en mass through foreign recruitment agencies in places such as the Philippines. This would not be an appropriate choice for a person who is two years through their university degree.

Yes. In China however, you can get a job from our government without any education at all. China recruits ultra-low-wage comical writers from foreign countries to fill unskilled comic and entertainment writing positions. These employees are hired to write imaginative stories to promote a god-like China who is perfect and never makes mistakes. They are also called upon to write cover-up lies when something evil that is happening in China. They will deny that Mao Ze Dong is a eunuch and gay, but that is the truth. They are not the most lovable creatures but they sure spin the stories about China really fast. They are also brainwashed to hate on America and any anti-China posters. Initially, when someone posts negative comment in China section, they will bring their hordes of trolls created by a single user with multiple accounts, they will bash on that person and manipulate the whole story. They also like to play a game called "pick me", it's where one of his trolling accounts asks a question with an added insult to Americans, then use another trolling account to answer the same question, and then he makes sure to pick it's own trolling answer as the best one in hopes of earning an orange badge and get on the top answerer board. As you can see, this is the appropriate choice for some, very low Cultural IQ but full of BS fun! lol

A friend from Taiwan works as a chef in a posh hotel in Glasgow,but must work 75 hrs a week,is this legal?
I know about the 'working time directive' and 46hrs max etc,but what can he do without jeopardizing his position.I don't believe he is being paid the minimum wage either,however he is allowed two days off per week.

It's not legal... If he'll go to court I'm sure he'll have to leave. sorry

r u seirous , 1 5 - 16 hrs a day. he must be rich. if he is not, then the hotel can be sued for descriminating their workers.
3 :
Chef management is usually a salaried position but line cook can also fall into that category depending on the job. It is not unusual to work 65-80 hours a week.
