Question by cherrysnowcone08: Cell phones?
i have an old phone, the one i got when i first signed on to t-mobile. i want a new phone and apparently i can only get one if i upgrade. does anyone know of certain stores that sell cell phones? a store that has them for a lower value. i want a pink razor but i dont want it for $ 200…i mean all you really have to do is switch the little chip in the back and your set to go? so are there stores out there that sell cell phones for lower prices? not used though, new, or atleast in fairly new condition…thanks!

Your best bet is Ebay. I took over my fathers cell phone contract to keep him from paying early termination fees and he had lost the phone to it. I bought a decent phone to use until the contract renewed and was very happy with it. Doing a qucik search showed many just like you are looking for.

Hope that helps.

I noticed you specified new. Not many places to buy a new phone without a contract or ridiculous price. Descriptions are generally pretty decent on Ebay. Also, if you buy one you can take it in to your local T-Mobile store and they should program it to work with your number.

Kantō Plain railway operators have standardized on the following rules.
• Power off in the vicinity of courtesy/priority seats—just in case someone has a pacemaker, insulin pump, or other microcontroller medical device
• Silent "manner" mode—no ring tones—in other sections
No such rules in North America. Fellow train passengers provide free entertainment and intimate details of their private lives.
