Buying whole prepaid phones?

A bit off topic.

[QUOTE=Bossman;20990]...Tmobile also unlocks them for free if you are a customer.

There are certain conditions to unlocking phones @ T-MO. Even if you have a postpaid account, you are limited to one unlock every 90 days, I believe.

With a prepaid account, you must have had the account for 90 days AND made a refill within 30 days.

T-MO has unlocked many a phone for me. Last phone I had unlocked was a Nokia from ATT for my son; postpaid there. Took longer than with T-MO, about 2 weeks.

Too bad you don't seem to have a friend, relative or colleague who might loan you out a suitable phone. We are still in CDMA-land here. Maybe that's why the dollar is so weak against the Euro!?

Best wishes!

Actually, the only requirement is that you have an account in good standing for at least 90 days. My account with them is prepaid. I requested and received the unlock codes for my 2 V195 phones within 2 weeks of each other. My card has not been topped up within the last 10 months of making the request. I only top it up once a year since it's just a low-use backup .
