    I'm looking for an old NOKIA of some sort with good signal, I don't want anything fancy a basic model is perfect. Needs to be GSM with the little card thingy, and probably needs to be unlocked? I had a little accident with the screen this weekend, it still works I just can't read half of the screen.

    You'd have to unlock any phone I have. Not many people have Cell One around here. Ebay is your best option.

    Umm. K. But you might want to move on the one AWDiL has, 'cuase it could take a long time to locate it. I haven't seen it since I moved, and we've still got a garage packed full of crap.

    My dad used to have a nokia like that. he took the sim card out to put in his handspring cell. but that's broken now and we're getting him a new one for xmas. I bet I could talk him out of the old one for virtually nothin. it was t-mobile...I'm pretty sure it was GSM.

    world of wireless will unlock a phone. Not sure of the price, somewhere around $50 i think. Providers usually won't unlock a phone unless its a special circumstance and you're a customer of theirs. So if you get a T-Mob or Cingular phone and you're a Cell 1 customer you're not gonna get the code.

    Yea, I'm not sure if that brand of phone works on cellone. A lady I know that works up there said they stopped carrying the siemans phones because they didn't work properly with their network. I guess for 5 bucks its worth a try though =P

    I have that phone if you want it. I also used to live in Duluth and was a cellular one customer. You can have it ~ I have a new phone now. All you will need to do is change the cover and key pad. They are pink ~ cause I'm a girl LOL

    Let me know
