I know it's not cool to say good things about customer service, but I'm

I've got a wife & two kids on an AT&T family plan, with phones over two
years old that were starting to die. The on-line site wouldn't allow me to

I was considering buying an unbranded, unlocked GSM KRZR on eBay to use on
my existing Cingular account. Any downsides to such a purchase...kinda tired
of waiting for Cingular to offer this phone.

Has anyone gotten Skype Mobile to work with the HTC Wizard 8125?  If

I am going to be travelling to London for 8 days.  I would like to get the
CHEAPEST possible pre-paid SIM card for while there.   Anyone with
suggestions?    I really only need to RECEIVE calls and yes, my phone is
UNLOCKED.

Transferred over from the KIC plan to GoPhone.    The Motorala C139 is

Please help me decide on a phone upgrade. I know that this is a basic

mine. In addition to the standard functions, I want a phone that includes
these features: flip phone, GSM, quad band, Bluetooth, ...
