Cell Phone .. help -.- ......
« on: November 06, 2009, 01:28:11 AM »
I need a new cell phone with a keyboard. This is what I have:

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/US-EN/Consumer-Product-and-Services/Mobile-Phones/i850-US-EN

I've got a strong deal on it since I'm hooked up with my uncles (25 dollars a month, everything unlimited, EVERYTHING!). Problem ... SIMS card, I heard those ass bastard companies stopped supporting SIM cards. So, a little help >_<!

The phone you have is meaningless.  Who is your provider?  I'm assuming Sprint since it's an iDEN phone.

If it's Sprint, call them and see if your plan will carry over if you buy and activate a new CDMA phone like the Pre or Touch Pro 2.

If it's SouthernLINC, you're fucked.  The best phone is the blackbery 8350i, an ancient piece of shit.

With either company you're extremely limited as there are very few iDEN phones and CDMA phones are truly locked into carriers.

Gonna call my uncle and see what he says, he's the one that gave me this awesome phone. The one I had before WAS a piece of junk from 2004 or something!

Your phone is from 2005  :P

Another thing, if it is Sprint, they have no plans to support that network after the end of 2010.  If they kill it, you'll pretty much have to switch to CDMA whether they honor your current terms or not.

Another possibility is activating it with Boost mobile. Old Nextel's prepaid service. I believe they still offer an unlimited plan for like $49 a month or something but it might depend on your market. No contract required if you go that route.
