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.

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?
