Cheap Used Cell Phones For Sale

Do you want to upgrade your cell phone? Did you break your phone and need a replacement? Did someone steal your phone and leave you incommunicado? Would you just like an extra phone to take to the worksite?

Yes? Well, if you go to the carrier’s cell phone store to get a cheap phone, guess what? The phone may be wireless but it will have lots of strings attached. No way is one of the major carriers just going to hand over an upgrade or replacement phone on the cheap. They’ll put a new contract in front of you and say, “Sign!” Then you get to pick from whatever models they have available.

Don’t want to sign a new contract or you haven’t been on the service long enough to qualify for an upgrade? OK. That just means that you get no deals from the carrier. They’ll ding you full retail price on the phone and it is guaranteed to be an eye-popper. Once you get your breath back, you’ll be happy to sign a new contract, if they even let you, and be thankful you got out of there alive.

Do you find the thought of going through this process revulsive? If so, we’ve got some good news. There’s another place to get cell phones that will work on your current cell phone plan and get them cheap!

What I want to introduce you to is the idea of buying a used cell phone. Don’t think that this necessarily means trolling the auction sites or having to go to somebody’s house to see what they’ve got. I’m talking about an online site that has a huge selection of guaranteed used cell phones ready to use. You get a 100% guarantee that your phone will function perfectly. You also get a free home charger and battery. The phone you pick will be shipped the same day with instructions for how to activate it in minutes. You never have to set foot in the local cell phone store.

Just what kind of shape are these phones in? They are graded into four categories. Refurbished is best. That’s a phone in pristine condition with the manual and box included. It’s almost like a brand new phone but at a deep discount. Excellent phones show very little sign of use. They’re like a new phone once you start carrying it around. Excellent phones come with excellent prices. A Good phone shows normal wear and tear. If your other phone was a bit scratched up or showing wear on the case you may not mind getting another phone in good condition. That’s especially true when the price is so low. Lastly, there are phones in fair condition. These are what you might call beaters. They’ve got a lot of wear showing but they’re still 100% functional. Broken phones just aren’t sold at all.

But just a second. Aren’t used phones just the old dogs nobody wants? Not by a mile. For instance, one used model in excellent condition and available right now to run on your Verizon Wireless service is a Motorola Droid 2 with Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, and a lot more. The cost? A fraction of what you’d expect to pay. There are other Droids available, too. Or you can choose from a huge selection of pre-owned Blackberry devices if that’s your preference.

You are probably wondering how you put these phones into service without having to get a new service plan. If you have a GSM or IDEN carrier (AT&T, T-Mobile, Boost, Nextel) you simply take the SIM card out of your old phone and pop it into your new phone. Voila! Your service is transferred to your new phone automatically. Because the SIM card is what activates the service, you can have a whole collection of cell phones and just move the card from phone to phone any time you want.

If you have a CDMA carrier (Verizon or Sprint) you probably know that there is no SIM card accessible. Instead, you need to call your service provider and give them the electronic serial number of your new phone. It will be written on the activation guide that comes with the phone. Your provider will then enter that number into their system so that your new phone is the one that works with the service. Not as convenient as a SIM card, but you can certainly get your used phone activated without too much muss and fuss.

Here are the carriers that used phones are available for: Alltel, AT&T Wireless, Boost Mobile, Cingular, MetroPCS, Nextel, Sprint PCS, T-Mobile, US Cellular and Verizon.

How about the brands of phones available in the used selection? You can choose from Apple, Blackberry, Casio, Hitachi, HTC, Huawei, Kyocera, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Palm TREO, Pantech, PCD, Samsung, Sanyo, Sharp, Siemens, Sony, UTStarcom and ZTE.

Interested? If so, take a few minutes right now and browse the current selection of used cell phones. This selection changes continuously, as some phones are sold and other acquisitions take their place. If you see a deal you really like, you best grab it before someone else does. Unlike new phones, there can be only one or a few of any particular model available. First come, first served.

NobelDialer Makes International Phone Cards Painless

International phone rates have come down over the years, but not that much. Many people have adopted the prepaid phone card as a way to get bargain basement prices for their international phone calls. But phone cards can be a pain to use compared to just direct dialing the number you want. What would be ideal is the rates of a prepaid card with the dialing convenience of a standard long distance plan.

NobelCom has come up with an app for your favorite smartphone that makes the dialing easy again. It’s called the NobelDialer and it’s free. You have your choice of downloads for iPhone, Android or BlackBerry.

What does the NobelDialer app do? It automatically dials the access number, PINs and destination numbers for the calls you want to make. You can call your address book contacts or do a fast dial through a favorites screen. It maintains a built-in list of access numbers and call history. The NobelDialer even works with PIN-less calling cards to use ANI or automatic number identification by the service provider. If you need help, there’s a toll free number to call for assistance.

Here’s how to use the NobelDIaler. You download and install the application software for the particular brand of smartphone you own. It comes customized for iPhones, Android phones and BlackBerry devices. Then launch NobelDialer and follow a one time 3 step setup wizard to get started. What then? Start calling. Enter the country code and destination number. You don’t need to include the “011” or “+” portion of the international number.

You don’t change your long distance service or make any changes to your cell phone plan with NobelCom. This is an add-on service that you use only when you want to save money on long distance phone calls. In most cases, this means calls to another country that either cost a fortune with your current phone service or are blocked completely.

NobelCom specializes prepaid calling cards like the ones you find at convenience stores, but with more options and better rates. Prepaid calling cards can give you excellent calling rates, such as 1.2 cents per minute to France or China, 13.4 cents per minute to Afghanistan and 3.9 cents per minute to Iraq. Calls to Mexico start at 2 cents per minute, with Italy and South Korea at a mere 1.4 cents per minute. Is it possible to call overseas for less than a penny a minute? Yes. Call the United Kingdom for 0.9 cents per minute. All of these are advertised rates on the NobelCom site as of this writing.

There’s a real art to maximizing the potential of prepaid calling cards and NobelCom helps guide you through it. Every card has a certain rates and conditions. Some have rock bottom per minute rates, but charge you a weekly maintenance fee. Some have a connection fee. Rounding can be to the nearest second, minute, or multiple minutes. That’s important if you make a lot of short calls. You don’t want to make a dozen 1 minute calls but have them rounded to 4 minutes minimum. If you are going to make just one or two calls for an hour, then the rounding isn’t so important.

You can call to just about any country or from any country on Earth with prepaid calling cards. It’s just a matter of picking the right card to meet your needs. If you have a smartphone, don’t forget to get the NobelDialer and really make dialing a fast and easy process.

Recycle Your BlackBerry Phone For Cash

It’s time to take your old BlackBerry phone out of service. You’ve signed a new contract and have a brand new BlackBerry or other smartphone on your existing phone number. The trusty old model doesn’t do much anymore. It doesn’t have service or a number. But it’s still in too good of shape to just toss in the trash. Isn’t something as high tech as a BlackBerry worth money?

You bet it is. Depending on which model you have, the condition it is in and how old it is, you could be looking at some serious cash... if you can find a buyer. What a pain that is! You have to run ads or auctions, then hope somebody is in the market for what you are offering at exactly the time you are offering it. Then you have to deal with people coming over or by mail. It sure would be nice if you could just sell these things.

You can. There is an electronics recycler that offers cash for used BlackBerry phones and most other models of cell phones and smartphones. Which models do they want? Let’s take a look.

First, visit the electronics recycling site. Then, then search for the BlackBerry phone models that are worth cash. If you want, you can just search for "BlackBerry." Do the results include yours?

When you find your particular model of BlackBerry phone, just click on it and you’ll be taken to an offer page. To find the appropriate price for your phone, just answer a few simple questions about whether it makes a call successfully, is free of water damage, is in poor, fair, good or perfect condition, and whether you still have the AC adapter and original cables. Then click on the "Find Top Cash Offers" button.

Speaking of box, what happens next is that most buyers will send you a pre-paid shipping box. Just carefully pack your items inside and send it in. Once the condition of each item has been verified, you’ll get a check in the mail. How sweet is that?

By the way, this takes only a few minutes and can turn into something of a treasure hunt and you go through the house rounding up all your old unwanted gadgets, including BlackBerry phones collecting dust. Why not give it a try right now? Get started recycling your BlackBerry Phone and other devices for cash.

How BlackBerry Touch Screen Technology Works

The BlackBerry Storm smartphone breaks new ground for BlackBerry wireless devices. This one is missing those ubiquitous little QWERTY keys below the display. They are replaced by a touch screen technology called "SurePress." Your QWERTY keyboard is still there. But now it's on the screen rather than a separate physical keyboard.

So how do they do that? How did they get rid of the keys but still keep the physical sensation of using a keyboard, and why? The why is probably easiest to explain. All those little keys take up a lot of real estate. If you want to have a larger display screen so that you can more easily read documents and images, watch videos or access applications, something has to give. If the screen is going to get bigger, then one of two things has to happen. Either the device grows in size or something else has to be eliminated to maintain the familiar "fits in your hand" form factor.

In the case of the BlackBerry Storm, the design decision was to keep the device a familiar pocket size and enlarge the screen by eliminating as many physical buttons as possible. There are 4 buttons below the screen. They're the usual send and end telephone buttons, plus menu and return buttons. Everything else is on the screen, including the dial pad for making calls. Without a slide-out keypad the Storm can maintain a thin 0.55 inch profile.

BlackBerry isn't the first with touchscreen capabilities in a cell phone. The Apple iPhone made quite a splash in this regard. But BlackBerry has gone the extra distance to ensure that a virtual key emulates a physical key as much as possible. The magic of the SurePress technology is flexibility in the display screen, called a "popple dome". When you push on a virtual button, the screen depresses slightly and pushes back, as if there were a spring right under the display surface, and you hear a click. This physical and audible feedback makes you think there's a physical pushbutton where you just pressed. But look again. It's just a screen with a picture on it. Change the screen view and the button disappears.

Another bit of technology that enables the BlackBerry touch screen is a built-in accelerometer. An accelerometer detects motion. I suppose you could program it to scream if someone threw the phone across the room. But in this case the purpose of the accelerometer is to detect the orientation of the BlackBerry Storm. If you are holding it straight up, the screen is set to portrait mode. But when you twist it to a lengthwise orientation, the screen switches quickly to landscape mode. Both graphics and the virtual keyboard will follow your moves and maintain the proper viewing orientation.

The end result is a smartphone with a 3.25 inch high-resolution touch screen in a 4.4 x 2.5 x 0.55 inch case that provides full BlackBerry functionality, including email, web browsing, messaging, and quad band GSM cellular phone. Plus there's EVDO Rev A broadband with 3G Internet access up to 3.1 Mbps, GPS service support, 1 GB of onboard memory and a 3.2 Megapixel digital camera. Talk time is a respectable 280 minutes. Not bad for 5.5 ounces in total.

How does the Storm compare with other BlackBerry phones you may be familiar with? There's an easy online tool to compare BlackBerry phone models that you can use. Check the features and specifications side by side and see which BlackBerry device you prefer.

BlackBerry Fun and Games

Been working hard? Time for a break? Well, then, let's play some Guitar Hero. But no need to go home and fire up your video game console. We're going to play Guitar Hero on our BlackBerry. Anybody looking? Good. Pick your Gibson guitar, pick your favorite character, pick your venue and get ready to shred!

Wait a second. Shred and BlackBerry in the same sentence? Sure. Well, it may not be something you want to do in middle of some terminally serious business meeting. But when you're away from suit territory, why not? If it's YOUR BlackBerry, then you can jolly well put whatever stress relief on it that you want.

BlackBerry. It's not just for corporate email anymore. Or even spreadsheets. Bplay lets you add entertainment to spice up your stodgy smartphone. You can choose from games, themes, wallpaper and music. And it's all just for fun.

The top five games right now are Guitar Hero 3 Mobile, Texas Hold'em King 3, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Golden Tee Golf Mobile Edge, and Sudoku. Or is Call of Duty4 Modern Warfare more your style? Hey, it's good practice for corporate warfare. Tell your boss you need to stay in fighting trim if you get caught playing this one during company hours.

Dress up your stodgy BlackBerry screen with dozens of themes. How about Luke Skywalker or Princess Leia for a Star Wars theme? There's art, college, zodiac, movies and icon themes among the collection. Even Republican and Democratic political themes. Get 'em while the elections are hot.

Along with themes, there is wallpaper to transport you to a better place. That could be anywhere from a tropical beach to the dunes of Mars or the rings of Saturn. Anyplace but cubical wall beige or that phony office woodgrain.

By the way, what sort of ringtone do you have? Wouldn't an MP3 Realtone of your favorite music be a lot better? If you think so, you have a lot to choose from. All the genres including Reggae, Hip Hop, Rock, Country, University Fight Songs, Classical, Jazz and Gospel are represented. Pick the artist and song that represents you best.

What are the hottest cell phone deals available right now, including free cell phones? Use the Cell Phone Plan Finder to check out the top phones and associated wireless service plans.

Landlines Flourish in Business

Consumers may be abandoning landlines right and left, but they are still alive and well in the business world. In fact, landlines are absolutely flourishing in businesses large and small. What sense does this make?

The wireless-only craze has not infected businesses the same way as consumers for a number of good reasons. One difference is that most businesses involve more than one person. More often than not, businesses have a business location where most of the business activity takes place or is controlled. Fixed locations with multiple users who all need to interact is a realm dominated by PBX telephone systems. PBX systems use landlines to connect with the outside world.

Now there are some caveats to this. You may think of landlines as being only twisted pair copper analog phone wires that connect a business location to the phone company central office. This century-old technology no longer dominates the business world. A landline now might be a T1 telephone trunk line that consolidates multiple business lines into a single digital cable. Up to 24 phone lines can be carried by a single T1 line.

An even newer landline technology is the SIP trunk. This is a packet rather than channel based technology that serves IP based telephone systems such as enterprise VoIP systems, including IP PBX phone systems.

Digital landlines can be used for both voice and data. SIP trunk lines often carry both telephone and broadband Internet traffic. So do Integrated T1 lines. Carrier Ethernet service over copper or fiber landlines can provide point to point network connections or multipoint LAN services over extended distances.

So, does this mean that wireless use is insignificant in business settings? Just the opposite. The BlackBerry device is almost part of the corporate dress code... even when there is no dress code. BlackBerry devices and other smartphones are integrated into the enterprise voice and data systems using something called fixed/mobile convergence. There is some thought that this may eventually evolve into all-wireless business networks, but that seems unlikely. Every time there is an incremental improvement to wireless technology, such as HSDPA or EVDO Rev A, there seems to be an even greater demand for higher enterprise network bandwidths. It seems that the solution is a system that will incorporate more wireless access points, cellular and IP wireless telephony, and Gigabit Ethernet connections.

The one exception may be the independent technical or sales professional who spends more time out of the home office than in it. These people have needs more like individuals than collocated teams. A cell phone or smartphone, perhaps with a cellular broadband enabled notebook computer and a stand alone toll free number, can provide all the electronic communications needed.
