Im with Cingular and I just want a new phone that i can move my sim card into without having to start a new plan or anything. If I go to Cingular directly, they want to charge me an arm and a leg for a new phone because I have to keep my old plan. Is there a website or anyone out there that knows where I can get an unlocked cell phone...or at least a cheaper cell phone than what Cingular wants to charge me. Im looking to get a Treo or a Blackberry...or possibly any kind of PDA phone.

E-bay!!! I just bought my mom a phone off of ebay for $30.00 and then I went to a cingular store and asked them how much they sold the phone for and guess what it was $299.99. They need to get a life.

if you really want an unlocked phone I suggest you get one that cingular uses. otherwise some features on a different phone and different plan may not work on yours. if you believe cingular is charging you an arm and a leg for new phone, wait until you see some of the prices some places sell their unlcoked phones for. especially the PDA phones. last time I checked they were in the 5-6 hundred dollar range. you can check eBay for unlocked phones as they tend to be slightly cheaper than other vendors. make sure it's a legit phone and not a scam. they sell unlocking kits that you do yourself but you need to be careful in the instructions otherwise you'll screw up your phone and will then really need to get a new one.

you'll get out of your sprint settlement. They make you pay a lot. perchance about one hundred to 2 hundred money. once you get an unlocked telephone you are able to apply it to T-cellular and ATT. those are both u . s . a . companies that use the sim card and GSM technologies it really is used in a lot of of a few thing of the international. no human being receives into hassle in case you employ an unlocked telephone.

Go on ebay. No matter what phone you find, you can look up on the internet how to unlock it yourself. I did it and it was very easy.

Scroll down and click on the type of phone you have.

why dont you just unlock the phone you have? type your phone model in ebay along with "unlocking kit"
ebay also sells phones that are already unlocked. just make sure you buy from a seller with a good rating.
