Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / September 2005EBAY?
Due to a self inflicted stupid move, my daughters front screen no longer works on her Moto V180 but the phone still works fine. We're on the AT&T plan so my choices down at the store are extremely limited and I'm half way kicking around the idea of giving her my V551 and picking up one of those Razor 3 ones off of ebay. Can anybody tell me if this is a bad idea? I'm not a big ebay fan especially when it comes to giving someone a couple hundred bucks of my money. I also went to Moto site and I can't find a place where I can pick up one from them directly? (and I'm not interested in a Cingular branded one either)  SignatureLittleguy ebay is generally fine for phones as long as you exercise some caution. i wouldnt buy some uber expensive cutting edge phone that isnt availale to the general public yet (lots of people preying on the fact that some people have to have the newest first and are willing to pay a premium) , but i would (and have) bought from people with good feedback, and ive sold a number of phones on ebay as well. i probably wouldnt buy any phones where the seller is outside the US either. > Due to a self inflicted stupid move, my daughters front screen no > longer works on her Moto V180 but the phone still works fine.

Yea, I'm just a little bit scared of ebay. >ebay is generally fine for phones as long as you exercise some caution. i >wouldnt buy some uber expensive cutting edge phone that isnt availale [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >> one either) > SignatureLittleguy > Due to a self inflicted stupid move, my daughters front screen no > longer works on her Moto V180 but the phone still works fine.

(they are located in the north side of chicago.) Just make sure it has 850mhz. I bought 3 phones there. Very good service. http://www.popularelect.com/Cellular%20Phones.html >> Due to a self inflicted stupid move, my daughters front screen no >> longer works on her Moto V180 but the phone still works fine.

SignatureLittleguy For 850mhz (needed for cingular) check out the motorola, nokia, and sony ericsson. >>> Due to a self inflicted stupid move, my daughters front screen no >>> longer works on her Moto V180 but the phone still works fine.

I'm glad I asked in advance cause I would have never known about needing to make sure of the 850. Thanks again, Dan.... >For 850mhz (needed for cingular) check out the motorola, nokia, and sony >ericsson. [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> experience. Thanks, I'll check it out. > SignatureLittleguy Seems like most unlocked V180s are selling for under $100 including shipping on Ebay. Many sellers are advertising "Buy It Now" prices of $70-$90. That's the way I'd go. Just make sure you buy from a US seller with a large positive feedback score. > I also went to Moto site and I can't find a place where I can pick up > one from them directly? (and I'm not interested in a Cingular branded > one either) You mean buy her a new phone and i keep my old one? <g> >Seems like most unlocked V180s are selling for under $100 including shipping >on Ebay.

I recently upgraded from the V180 to the RAZR and I love it. The V180 was a good phone for awhile, but I soon came to realize that it is a piece of junk. Now my wife's V180 is acting up and she might go with the RAZR as well. Do yourself a favor and junk the V180. My sister went through 5 of them, both through Ebay and through Cingular and their warranty returns. Now she has the V551, and she has had no problems. >If I were you, I would go ahead and give your daughter the V551 and either >get another one of these for yourself, or go with the RAZR.

The 180 (Sacramento) here as well...No problems. Since she told me about her screen problem (she sat on her phone) it's been giving me an excuse to upgrade not that the RAZR is really an upgrade.
