Default Cell phones

Hey does anyone know where I can get a Cingular or unlocked Quad-band cell phone for under $130. I beat the crap out of mine and I really need to get this thing replaced asap. Any information or hook ups would be appreciated. I tried ebay but I was hoping someone knew better.

it would just freeze.. usually it was when the signal was too low. I think it was a known issue with some of those phones cuz we had a lot of them returned at work until they fixed the issue.

I know thats how cell phone companies get you.........sell you a piece of crap so when that piece of crap dies on you you have to buy another one it's a continuous circle of cell phone crap

yeah just let me know.. I still have the box, manual, charger, everything that came with it. You could probably get them to send you a new one on it anyways, cuz it's still under the mfg warranty. I actually bought it at best buy and have extended warranty coverage on it, so if cingular won't give me a new one best buy will.

NExtel has a great concept but the signal Blows...i get better signal with Cingular up and down the EAst Coast then my friends with Nextel. That being said I don't really like Motorala's that much anymore, mine keeps freezing up and lagging. It gets all screwed up. I've had it a year and a half. it's a V400 lol back in teh day...

Except for the fact that my razor is unlocked and I can program it. Your grandmas razor doesnt have video. Mine does.

I just sold my Motorola V400 on ebay. I really think ebay is gonna be your best bet. I just bought a Audiovox 5600 PDA that is absolutely amazing. It has Windows Mobile on it. It is $400 normal but renewed my contract and got it for $200. But anyway I know you checked ebay but that is gonna be your best bet man.
