Re: Nokia 6255i Phone

Tell your son to go to phonescoop.com and read about the model of phone
first before buying. You should be able to sell this 6255i right back there
on ebay without much problem, as long as you have a decent feedback rating.

Also, sometimes it is not enough to only check that the phone you are buying
is GSM. There are some GSM phones that operate at either 850 MHz or 900
MHz, and they do not work with each other. Like in my area, Cingular uses
850 MHz, while T-Mobile uses 900 MHz, and is just now starting to roam on
900 MHz
