Cell phone?

[Venusaur]

I'm looking for a cheap new/used cell phone that's compatible with an AT&T 3G sim card. The only requirements are it must have bluetooth capability and camera. Anyone have suggestions? I heard eBay is the best place to buy, but I'm no cell phone guru so I want to make sure I buy a compatible phone. How I do I know if a phone I search for on ebay is compatible with this SIM card? Thanks! :) Edited June 15, 2008 by Venusaur

I'm had some good luck with eBay, I've gone through so many phones now it's amazing.

Right but I have no idea how to find a compatible phone to use with this SIM card. Any specific phones out there for a cheap price?

First go to the at&t website and select the cell phone you need, take the model and search the phone model on other sites with better price if you wish and find need to do so.

To select a phone that really suits you, I suggest going here: http://www.gsmarena.com/search.php3

 

You can then look up the phone(s) on ebay to get what you REALLY want. Be SURE and check the CONDITION!!!! Also, you may want to check to see if it is LOCKED to a carrier. If so, you will need to get it unlocked (if it is not cingular/ATT).

Ebay is cheaper and offers phones that you wouldn't be able to get normally. I've found that it is cheaper for me to purchase the phone I want off of Ebay rather than using my "trade-up credits". But there are phones there that have rolled half a football field's length accross a gravel parkinglot, ran over, then cleaned off in a toilet. You can get good deals there, just check the condition of the phone BEFORE you bid! Look at all the pics closely and ask questions.

 

Good luck!

you might also want to look at the prepaid/GO phones. they are also compatible. You just have to find ones with your requirements. Just pop the sim in and go.
