Ok, it's that time of year again. Time to switch cell providers! Woo hoo! I just got myself a Nokia 6230 on Cingular from amazon. I got a good deal on it and only a one year contract. I need to get my wife a GSM phone too so we can get on a family plan. Unfortunately the one-year cingular contract market appears to have dried up. :/ I won't do a two-year deal, so I was hoping to leech off my fellow AN'ers.

My wife doesn't need a snazzy phone (she even told me that something like bluetooth in the phone is a negative in her book - I think it's a reaction to my need to have the latest and greatest, but I disgress). She had a Nokia 8260 that she LOVED but it's TDMA and won't work with Cingular. Something like that would be great.

If any of you have a GSM phone lying around that you're not using and gets decent reception and you'd like to donate it to the family-harmony-for-torifile fund, please email me. I'd be willing to pay a few $ too. Of course, I'd cover shipping....

It's a long shot, but what's begging among friends, right?

I've got a slightly worn, but fully functional Nokia 6310i sitting in a drawer. Will that work?

Thanks Drew, but I think she may be turned off by it's size. That's the type of phone she wants - simple, reliable - but a little too big. Beggars shouldn't be choosers, I know.....

But I'll check with her to see what she thinks.

Check out howardforums.com someone maybe able to help you out.

I'd give you my SE T618 but it's locked to AT&T.

As much I'd *love* that phone that SKMDC posted, I can't take it.

Thanks for the offers but we got an SE 226 for free because we got a family plan at Sam's. It's not the greatest phone but she likes it ok.

My oldest Nokia was awesome, totally looked like a Motorola walkie. I couldn't walk through a Home Depot without getting asked where things were. I was invited on a company picnic for most accidental sales by a customer...
