Do you all keep your old phones, sell, give away?

[glen]

I have a friend, whom I met years ago when he was homeless. He has since gotten a job, medication for his Schizophrenia, and an apartment. He is a good guy. For example, he could live off of disability, but he has a job washing dishes. Of course, if you are on disability, and take a job, they lower your check. This guy actually bikes to work 5 miles there and back, on a bike we got donated to him, for essentially $3 an hour because the first $5 of his check each hour lowerers his SSI payment). He does not drink or do drugs, he is just a little different, even with his schizoprenia treated. He had my old Moto Cliq. I hated that phone, but he loved it. Anyway, he broke it, so he is on a loaner phone from T-Mobile. Does anyone have an old Android they would donate to this guy? If anyone wants to check this story out, I am in Charleston, SC. Send me a PM.

I would donate him my EVO, but it will only work on Sprint. If he is willing to switch, PM me.

Is there a way to make a Sprint phone work on T-Mobile? I will call him and ask if he has a contract.

 

[swanysto]

I don't believe so, tmobile uses sim cards, and sprint uses activation.

No there is no way to make sprint phones work on Tmo or vice versa.

I usually keep one backup phone and sell my others.

No there is no way to make sprint phones work on Tmo or vice versa.

This, they use completely different network technologies and radios.

You need to find an AT&T + TMO SIM or a TMO phone. Or be prepared to jump carriers, national or regional.

We are stuck with T-Mobile.
I am sure he is in the worst contract ever.
Sales people rip him off all the time.

With every iPhone I sell I make enough money to buy another iPhone.

the 1 that is not i gave to my cousin

 

[glen]

Anyone with a T-Mobile compatible phone willing to donate to this guy?
He is a joy! You wont regret it.

I don't buy used phones.

I also don't sell them. I may decide to either keep it or give it away to family members...Whatever the case, I never sell them.

I kept my aging Moto Bravo, but stripped it of everything I now use my Atrix 2 for. The Bravo (which now has no SIM) has been relegated to wireless control of a few objects around the house.

Google G1 or G2 off ebay or Craigslist is cheaper to buy...It works with Tmobile.
