I have 9 months left on my t-mobile contract and I’m content with their service. The problem is I want a phone that another carrier has that is not offered by t-mobile. Can I use my sim card with their phone if I purchase an unlocked phone of that type and still have the same service and regular cell phone functions that I have now.

 

Answered by onThesource(ONLY for reference)

Sure, the unlocked phone can work well with your pre-paid SIM card, but you should make sure the phone supports GSM900/1800/1900MHz which is required by the SIM card of T-Mobile.

I have an unlocked at&t tilt aka kaiser Htc tynn. My question concerns how do I get T-mobile software on and At&t software off?

I am trying to sell this phone and it’s confusing to potential buyers. From T-mobile when they place their sims in and it still shows at&t software it is unlocked because otherwise it would ask for PUK a code or message insert sim card.

I unlocked it myself when contract was up requested and received the PUK code used old t-mobile sim card. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Answered by onThesource(ONLY for reference)

That indicates the phone is not really unlocked, and it can not work suitably with pre-paid SIM cards.

Once a cell phone is unlocked would I still have to pay for extras like GPS and Web access? Or is all this unlocked to me? If not, how can I get all this for a low cost?

If I bought an unlocked phone intending to use it with Metro PCS, would all the features that metro supports work, or just some?

1>    Sure, you should pay extra monthly, just like you have make more calls.

2>    Unlocked phones are none of business with them.

I was thinking about buying a unlocked phone, but i do not know if it will work with US Cellular? If any one could answer my question that would be great.

 

Answered by onThesource(ONLY for reference)

We can not locate the concrete network frequency of US Cellular. We suggest you buy those UNLOCKED phones which support 850/1900 simultaneously, namely, quad band cell phones.

What you have to do is to only put the SIM card into the unlocked phone.

hey, for all you guys that are asking if the unlocked phone will work with your SIM card, look up the phone you want on ebay (there are tons of unlocked phones there) and read the description. it should tell you which SIM cards it works with and answer any other questions you have.

 

Answered by onThesource(ONLY for reference)

Unlocked phones are opposite to contract phones, but do not mean they can work in any phone carriers, as you know, different phone carriers need different network frequencies.

Unlocked phones are awesome! they let you switch between sim card from different networks.

Posted by: anon13900

All ‘unlocked’ phones do is allow you to use the particular phone with any of the service providers that use SIM cards. There’s no point in specifically buying one if you don’t plan on changing providers or if your provider doesn’t use SIM cards.

 

Answered by onThesource(ONLY for reference)

Correct partly. Consumers should care the frequencies between them.

If it is unlocked, then it can, or else, it can not.

 

Posted by: anon5460

No, you can’t just put any old SIM card in a cell phone and expect it to work. If the card is not associated with an account at a service provider, you won’t get any service (except maybe 911).

And yes, this article has nothing to do (currently) with Sprint. Sprint is not GSM, does not use SIM cards, and thus “an unlocked phone” is not a concept that applies.

It is very VERY important you look at your sim card… for instance att in the us is running the 3g sim card. if you buy an unlocked super phone off the net that is for 2g sim card then you will most likely have issues when getting it on the us network. 2g and 2.5g sim cards are used everywhere else in the world as the networks are slowly changing over to 3g.

sim cards are in gsm network phones..

According my experience, if the phone is unlocked, it will be compatible with any carrier’s network with the same band that your phone supports, for example, if your unlocked cell phone supports GSM 1900,it can be useful in any network with GSM 1900 band.

In conclusion,you need pay attention to two factors: unlocked and GSM band.

I bought an unlocked cell phone on line days ago, which support four band, which means it can use in almost every countries on earth, and feel good, further more, it is inexpensive.

By the way, the online shop i dealt with is Uxcell ,you can get this shop with searchaing “uxcell” in goggle, and the phone i bought is :

“Nautilus” 3 inch TFT Touch Screen PDA 2.0 Mega Camera MP4 MP3 Mobile phone.

Credit card fraud is on the rise, with certain sources claiming that the internet has been the breading ground of this illegal industry. With reports suggesting that around 1 in 40 transactions are fraudulent, how can we as consumers avoid facing the brunt of credit card fraud? credit card can be as hard to trace, as it is easy to commit. That is why we can never be certain where our details were taken, and what methodology was used. From online shopping, to your local café, anyone could have taken your details, whilst it may not be them that use your details directly.

It is reported that wholesale credit card details are worth around $8 each. This is an indication of several factors, firstly the routine processes of fraud that is in place, and secondly the sheer scale of the operation. Did you know that Nigeria sees credit card fraud as its 3rd biggest Industry? A complete resolution to credit card fraud would see the Nigerian economy plummet into deep recession that would inevitably be aided, in some way, by western organisations and governments. A popular Nigerian music act recently published a song, with lyrics that mimic and ridicule the less than savvy consumers that suffers as a result of their crime. But how can we put a stop to this, or at least avoid it as much as possible?

> Never provide credit card details or bank information via email.

> Should you complete an online purchase then ensure that the address bar reads https://www.example.com rather than http://www.example.com. This means your data was encrypted and will get into the hands that you intended it to.

> Do not purchase from a company online, should you have any doubts whatsoever. Should the company fail to provide a legitimate address and phone number, do not contract with them. Dealing with an incorporated or limited company is generally safer.

> Should you lose your purse or wallet then contact your credit card provider immediately.

> Do not give away your credit card details on incoming telephone phone calls or emails.

> Ensure that you keep your credit card in a physically safe place. Never let your bag out of your sight when you are away from home.

> Many restaurants and clubs for example will embark in the process of the waiter or waitress taking your credit card away to input your details into the machine. This is an example of giving an opportunity to someone where by they can note your details. However, you also provide the same opportunities during telephone transactions and certain internet transactions.

> Should you be purchasing over the internet, one of the safest ways to pay is through using a third-party merchant service such as Pay Pal or World Pay.

> Should you be a victim of credit card fraud ensure that you report this immediately, also remembering to contact the company that was affected. This will radically decrease the chances of the goods being delivered to the customer, and you having to pay any fine to your credit card company.

Outside of high gas prices and weakening global conditions any eBay traders and online vendors will have little cause for to complaint about the cell phone market.

The number of phones and mobile phone companies has soared in the last 12 months. Besides big-name players, like Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Motorola there are now many Chinese mobile phone manufacturers looking for their place in the international mobile communication market.

Wifi, Bluetooth, MP4 players, MP3 players, WAP capabilities, cameras, and docking ports for multiple SIM cards are all becoming common features on mobile phones with customers expecting more out of their phones than ever before.

Demand for branded and wholesale mobile phones is also strong with mobile phone use overtaking landline use in some parts of the world and consumers changing their phones every 15 months on average.

So how can you, as an online reseller tap into this profitable market, what is the best way to find a supplier and how do you source this new, profitable range of products?

It doesn’t matter if you’re considering stocking mobile phones through your online auction business or looking at expanding your range and taking on a different supplier. The process of sourcing mobile phones from makers of cellphones in China is exactly the same and simply finding the companies through a wholesale directory, business directory or online is just the first step.

When you find a potential supplier company which has a nice product that you want to sell in your store, or through your eBay listing you need to make sure they will act in a way that won’t loose you money or cost you your repuation as a vendor. Here are some hints that a company will be less than reliable:



It doesn’t have any contact details or the contact details turn out to be not working.

Their website is badly put together, has very few product photos, or stolen product photos and has little to no contact information

Many people have complained about them on dropshipping, e-commerce and wholesale forums or fraudwatch sites.

Promotional material they use looks suspiciously like materials from another wholesale dropship company

Their products are priced too high or too low



 

When looking at basic unlocked cellular phones (which have a 2G reception, SD card, basic accessories, a camera, Bluetooth functionality and WAP capabilities) you shouldn’t really be paying more than US$100.

But with more upmarket models of unlocked cell phone (which can have everything from WiFi to dual SIM cards to 3G connectivity and more high tech cameras) you can expect to pay between US$200-$300.

Doing market research on the wholesale mobile phones or unlocked phones you are thinking of stocking is also a worthwhile exercise. By checking to see if the features are in demand or that style of phone will sell well can potentially save you thousands in unsold stock or free up a product line for a more profitable item if you are dropshipping. It will also help you determine what price you should be paying, what price you can sell it for and the profit margins you can expect.

Once you have done your online research and found the phone looks OK on paper then its time to order a sample. This is much easier if you do it through a mobile shop in China which has no minimum order quantity, like Chinavasion but you may be required to order about three or four to test when buying phone through other vendors.

When testing a wholesale mobile phone it’s important to be as thorough as you can possibly be. Here are some things you might want to check:



The manual is in English and makes sense

The handpiece doesn’t click or creak when it is handled and doesn’t feel cheap

There aren’t any bubbles in the screen, its set in the right pace and there aren’t any black lines when you switch it on.

The battery takes a full charge, it lasts as long as the supplier suggests and doesn’t smell funny when it is being charged.

A component isn’t missing, and works as promised.

The phone’s speaker or microphone quality is clear and the buttons are easy to operate.



If the unlocked cellphone passes mustard then the next step is to put it on your stock lists.

By researching products before you buy them and testing them thoroughly before stocking them you will be able to ensure that everything that goes online will sell well, have good profit margins and keep your customers happy.
