Title: Anyone want to sell (cheap) a T-mobile prepaid phone?
Post by: Daugpack on November 13, 2012, 09:56:53 AM
I've got my SIM card on it's way.  I'm just having some trouble finding a cheap prepaid T-mobile phone (that I'm only going to use for a week or so.)  I'll even send it back.

Sending it back and forth would likely cost the same as you buying a cheap T-Mobile phone.  That's why you need to find the phone before you jump all over the cheap SIM card.  Samsung T139 is $29.99 at Best Buy, $29.98 at Walmart.

If you donlt find one and you live in an area served by RiteAid or CVS (they both sprout up like weeds on the empty corners of busy intersections around where I live), and I'll guess Walgreens, then go there and look for a Nokia pre-paid T-Mobile phone for $19.99.

That's about the lowest price you'll find new/off the shelf T-Mobile pre-paid. I saw these in two different RiteAids in the last few weeks. They usually have one or two at a time in stock.

Perhaps find a friend that has been using T-Mobile for some time and they may have an old phone to loan.

If your lucky.

Any Unlocked GSM Phone would suffice (T-Mobile or AT&T).  You could probably stop by a mobile phone shop and borrow one.

Walmart and Best Buy both sell a At&t prepaid phone for $14.99. You can buy an unlock code on ebay for $1. I bought a couple when they were $4.99 at Best Buy many months ago.
