Hey, Mike: That Motorola V330 is unlocked, right????

Unlocked? Of course. Wouldn't have anything else.

I keep my phones for years. My everday phone is a tri-band phone that I have had for 3 or maybe 4? years. The problem is it doesn't work on the 850 band now in use in the U.S. Doesn't affect me here in Ca.. (Use T-Mobile here.)
Got the V330 a few months ago to use w. Cingular when out of Ca/Nv. Problem is that I like a bar shaped phone like my old Sony-Ericsson. The V330 is a clam shell and doesn't fit well in my shirt pocket. My new phone is a bar style phone.

The one reason I never upgraded to newer phones is: they all have color screens that I find impossible to read under many circumstances.. I can read my SE black and white screen under almost any condition. The screen is always "on".

I am not as technically "with it" as many here. Only text a few times a year - but use thousands of voice minutes a month. I have taken to using my cel almost 100% of the time instead of using an office or home land phone. I am addicted to my bluetooth head set.

Just to explain to everyone: Members here are not only all over the U.S. - but all over the world!! It turns out that Karen is about 15 miles as the crow flies from me across San Francisco Bay. Driving is maybe 20-25 miles. She lives in the "rich" Marin County - I live in the politically radical town of Berkeley. I am on the East side of S.F. Bay, she is on the North side.
