Wanted: tri or quad GSM unlocked basic phone

I need a cheap cell phone while I'm on a visit
from New Zealand. I’ll also be in Canada for
2 weeks, with Rogers.

Here's my specs:
Unlocked
Pre-pay
GSM
Tri or quad band
Cheap to buy
Basic - no frills (no gadgetry required)
A wall charger
A basic manual
Bar/brick/block style preferred.

Any takers? Or suggestions? I don't mind going
to a shop in LA, once I get there.

FYI: It doesnt matter if the phone is prepaid. Since you want a unlocked phone, you can get ANY prepaid SIM and put it in the phone.

Thanks. I think that I intuitively knew that. But I could've made it
clearer that I didn't want to buy anyone's plan with their phone.

Umm wat sort of price range are you looking at, like do you want colour or somthing like that, or are we talkin real basic like 3315

There's no straight answer to that. I'm unsure of the specs of the
3315 that you refer to, but "real basic" sums it up, well. Phone calls
and SMS is all that’s needed, really. If it's cheap enough, I'll treat it
as a disposable item and perhaps give it to my hosts, before I leave.
If it’s single or dual (North America) band, it wont work in NZ. So
bringing it back would require a quad, or tri, at the least. The charger
wont work here in NZ, either, because the input is 240, not 110v.

So my best option seems to be something inexpensive enough to
be “disposable,” given that I’m going to have to buy a SIM card
for Rogers and Cingular (or T-mobile), as well as a recharge card
for both.

Does that make it any clearer?

I have a moto p7389 unlocked with the conversion kit for 110v to 240v power supply. Make me an offer. it is a world phone to be used anywhere. i have never used it.

Thanks for the offer/thought.

I'm already in NA and have a phone.
