Otherwise you'll have a phone that can't be used on the Cingular towers even if it is unlocked.
So before buying a phone on Ebay, read the auction carefully and if the answers are not in the auction ad, email the seller to make certain that the phone you are wanting to bid on/buy, will in fact work in the US and on Cingular's cell frequency band.

And when you say cheap what does that mean to you? If you mean OLDER phones, sure you may find them "CHEAP", but you are not going to find any of the newer phones being sold in the stores cheap, that are not stolen. That is if you are talking Razr's for $20 bucks.
The main thing when buying a used phone, you want to make sure it's working, and the ONLY 100% sure way to do that is to see the phone face to face, with your SIM card in it, making a call. So beware phones being sold without batteries (often done so that you can't even see it turn on in a lot of cases).Last edited by BlkBear; 01-22-2006 at 01:19 PM.
