Anyone with advice on buying a Motorola unlocked cell phone?
My husband dropped his cell phone in some water and has no insurance, not due for an upgrade for a while. Most Motorola phones we have found are unlocked. Cingular says some of the features may not work on unlocked phones. Is this true? Has anyone else used unlocked phones with Cingular?
He is looking at the razr, pebl (sp?) or something like that with camera & video.
Hi Mac
it is pretty simple and not much to worry about.
If you purchase your phone direct from Motorola, you can either purchase a Cingular branded Plbl or Razr with all the correct settings, or you can purchase the unlocked unbranded version of the phone, go to Cingulars support website and enter the Cingular settings. All features will work.
If your husband does not use the internet, then you would not have to enter Cingulars settings, the phone will still make and recieve calls and send texts.
If you purchase unlocked unbranded from other sources such as ebay, these will be phones typically made for sale in the european market, in this case you will have to imput the cingular settings again only if he wants to access the internet.
If you do purchase a European Motorola, just make sure it is a quadband (GSM850/900/1800/1900) Some Razrs and pebls made for the UK are only tri-band (gsm900/1800/1900). If you purchase the European version, it must be quadband for Cingular because Cingular runs on GSM850 in some areas. Hope this helped, if you find something, you can send me the link if you are unsure
Cheers
