 Post subject: My kid's got me a RAZR V3 phone but..Posted: Sun Oct 15, 2006 4:37 pm 
So, for my birthday that is coming up soon, my kid's pitched in some of their saved money, and bought me a Motorola V3 RAZR phone. Hot Pink. It's a beauty, and brand new. Only thing is, it doesn't work with our phone plan, so Sherri wants me to relist it on ebay, hoping to recover their money. This phone has the sim? card, so it only works with Cingular, t-mobile, and one other one that I cannot remember. I am going to relist it on eBay and try to get a "buy it now" for around $170. If anyone on here wants to buy it from Sherri, before I list it on eBay, let me know. Here's a picture: 
Please only serious inquiries. If you need more details about this phone, "pm" me and i will get back with you. I will probably list it by Tuesday? Thanks, kd |

You don't necessarily have to sell your phone, you can open the network. This means they "open" your phone to accept service from a different provider. You go to an independently managed cellphone store which advertises different providers. Ask them if they can open your phone to your provider. I've had this done to my phone, I switched from one provider to another. |

Thank you for the info. i think they already purchased the one that my provider uses, so I do need to sell this one to help get their money back. 'preciate the help though.

singular i think its funny when parents misspell modern words or lingo, for instance: its "Razr" not "Rzar" and "Cingular" not "Singular"  _________________

I don't know, I thought I was "over" the concept of the Razr, but lookin' at this..all shiny and pink, it sure is perdy! **I was acting like I was over it, because I just couldn't afford it, I've really liked it all along!

why wouldn't your kids at least ask which plan/company you were with before buying you a phone Kim? Most phones are locked into certain providers these days. _________________

They probably just got an unlocked phone from eBay and assumed it would work with every provider, but the US phone system is weird and some providers don't use SIM cards and some lock down certain features and phone models... it's quite lame really. SIM cards are the best solution, that's why I have (and love) T-Mobile. Unfortunately, coverage is spotty, and when I was in Tyler it didn't work very well. But Boyd's sidekick works, so they may have added some new towers in the area. _________________ |

Sherri just didn't read everything thoroughly. I'll probably try to relist it below what she paid to just try and recover her cost, or most of it. |

(*Just a note... I was planning on getting one of these phones to give as a present too, except they made it a hassle to do so even when I went to the person's own cellular carrier!) |

Oooh, didn't mention this in the previous post... but... wouldn't this phone fetch a bit more if it were, oh, say autographed by the band? |
