Ebay has Motorola Razrs for cingular customers for like $100... is it safe to buy a phone this way? they all say "new, never opened" and you can tell from the pics, but how can you make sure the phone works as soon as i get it?

And will cingular buy my old phone back? (i know when you get a contract, they take your old phone back for like ~$25 or so).

Also, any input on good GSM flip phones for cingular service that i don't know about would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Motorola Razr's for $100? might be with a contract you might wanna look again?

And buy your phone back? I dont know anything about that either.

This offer is only valid for NEW Cingular customers OR existing customers that want to ADD-ON a NEW line of service with a NEW phone number, however in that case the price of the phone may be more expensive then advertised

-You have to sign a 2-year agreement with Cingular and pick a plan of your choice (1 Year agreements are available but the price of the phone increases)

 

amazon has the black razr for FREE (after rebates ... duh) for new cingular customers ... methinks think thats the BEST method!

 

2 year contract it says.

buy.com gives you that phone + bluetooth headset free after rebate.

 

I actually got the black RAZR from Amazon. The delivery took a little longer than I wanted, but it was an otherwise painless process.

I also recently purchased a Motorola V80 from ebay. Painless process and the phone worked like a charm.

Here's a picture of both.

 

nope, no contract:

$100 with 2 days left in the auction

 

Its not selling for Buy it Now $100, its being bid for around $100 with 2 Days left, Big Difference

 

it's been like that since yesterday.

 

Usually people when they bid, they look for the auctions ending first, so it will get more attention last 24 Hours

 

in the last 4 hours it will...

 

yes, i know how ebay works, that's not my point. there are a lot more than 1 for that price range, and sure they'll go up until the bidding ends. but how do i know if they're legit? buying phones seems tricky... i'm just wondering if anyone else has done it this way w/o the contract. i don't want to be stuck with a useless phone.

 

eBay is never a reliable source, Unless you know the seller, I know some good reputable people, but this guy has a lot of feedback and 100% positive, so it looks all good, but I am sure it wont go under $200, thats for sure.

 

Bit the bullet....paid $199 though Cingular..with 2 year contract.....

didn't want to have hassles...If something goes wrong or you don't like Cingular...you can always jump ship...pay a small penalty.

So far Cingular Service has been good...and Bluetooth syncs with TL.

Last thing I would want to hear....Sorry, but since you didn't buy it from Cingular...there's nothing we can do...sometimes the cheapest...way...is the way of Pain...

And..........sometimes you get what you pay for...
Andy.........sometimes you're lucky....

 

you should've shopped around a bit

free after rebate
