Old ATT/Cingular phone

[tinkrbel]

I'm hoping someone has an unused ATT/Cingular phone they'd be willing to part with. I'm hoping to get out of the family contract in November but( after various drops over time) my father has killed the speaker on his phone and needs a replacement. Nothing fancy but flip phone preferable as I doubt non-flips would NOT do well with his manliness.

 

I was hoping an ex colleague would pull through but she continues to make promises without following through.

You can do what I did for my husband (who keeps breakingh his). I refuse to be stuck in a contract so I purchased an at&t go-phone (pay as you go) and we just put his current sim card in it and it became a post paid phone. This way he gets new phones (roughly $10) and I'm not getting stuck in any contract. HTH

buy a cheap used one from amazon. that is where I sell all my old ATT phones and it goes great for all my buyers.

sorry all ours are alltel phones, I've been meaning to take those by to donate!

hmmm....I was wondering about the pre-paid phones since target sometimes clearances them will keep an eye out. I bid on one on ebay with a 30 day warranty since most are as is but I expect to be outbid before it ends. I hadn't considered amazon for used phones, I'll check that out next.

Amazon has the go phones also from att. Bought several for the boys when they were starting to whine about their old ones (pre their upgrade times...)

I have bought several go phones for the teen who used to break her phone all the time (until she got the Iphone4, we replaced a phone every 2 months) and always just got her the cheapest go phone we could fine.

look on freecycle and craigslist for people giving away free phones.i got a nice pink nokia and put my att card in it and it works fine.also there is a nokia on craigslist now so maybe in your area there may be one too

bump.....still in need as phone now comes up no access to network

have you checked ebay? a have a friend who swears by ebay when they need a phone because theirs dropped or got wet

[tinkrbel]

ebay didn't have many but I managed to find a go ohone for 9.99 at best buy so he'll use that while I wait for my mothers upgrade to come in mail then he can have hers and we'll keep go phone as backup. Wish i'd gone to target 1st since they had one for 14.99 that did have an outside screen which other doesn't.
