Hi. I have a cingular contract until March 2007. I also have a crappy phone. I've tried contacting cingular to see if they could help but all they will do is transfer to a new contract which means I start my 2 year plan all over again. I have been looking at options to get a new phone without spending a lot of money. So, here's the ?
Can I buy a payasyougo phone and use my existing sim card on it? Will I encounter problems?

But you may have to configure the unlocked phone in order to use features beyond voice calls.

Option for getting different phone without extending current contract...

A good place to find local deals for used phones (and anything else for that matter), would be Craig's List www.craigslist.org
Once on the site, you pick the city you are in or one close to you, and search the forsale or electronics sections for phones. The good thing about buying from someone face to face, is you can pop your SIM in the phone to see if it works (if they say it's unlocked). Another good thing is you may have haggling room on their asking price, as many people pot listings for $X bucks OBO (Or best offer). And some people may be asking for things in trade rather than just money.
