Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / December 2005How to get readable phone?
Our Family Plan with Cingular uses a Nokia 6010 and grand-daughter's is a V551. The Nokia is very difficult to read and impossible outdoors. Yes, we are seniors, but we read other things without difficulty. Cingular says we cannot upgrade to a better phone until Sept of 2006. We are willing to pay for a phone with a more readable display, but will not signup for another two years. What do you recommend?

The v551 is surprisingly crisp and easy to read, but Bill already has access to one of those, so I guess he's looking for something else. Signature--- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8,-122.5 I should have been more clear in my request. The V551 that grand-daughter uses is fine. The Nokia 6010 that WE use is the one giving trouble. My question is where can I buy a replacement phone without starting a new contract that will work on our present service? Will the SIM from the Nokia 6010 work in a the new phone? Is eBay a reliable source for such a purchase? Bill > I should have been more clear in my request.

I'm guessing they will sell you one for full price without needing a new contract. > I should have been more clear in my request. The V551 that grand-daughter > uses is fine. The Nokia 6010 that WE use is the one giving trouble. Ah, okay. So maybe you'd like to buy a v551. > My question is where can I buy a replacement phone without starting a new > contract that will work on our present service? I've never done that. You could buy a phone from Cingular with no contract, but that's probably the most expensive route. Maybe you are eligible for a Cingular "upgrade". I don't worry about contracts, as I expect to be continuing service for a long time anyway. Amazon.com has the v551 for negative $75.01 with new service. > Will the SIM from the Nokia 6010 work in a the new phone? Any Cingular SIM should work in either a locked Cingular v551, or an unlocked v551. > Is eBay a reliable source for such a purchase? "eBay" doesn't sell anything. Is a particular eBay vendor reliable? Signature--- Clarence A Dold - Hidden Valley (Lake County) CA USA 38.8,-122.5 The Nokia 6010 is the only model they have that has the poor screen. Check out the Nokia 3220 for a similar phone with a bright screen. I have both of these phones. > I should have been more clear in my request. The V551 that grand-daughter > uses is fine.
