3800 FS: Motorola RAZR V3 (Cingular)

[PANDA]

I had to send in my old RAZR because something was wrong with it. So under warrenty Cingular sent me a Brand new in the box RAZR. I would keep this phone, but im kinda bord of it, and since EVERYONE has one of these I want to sell it and get something diffrent. Everything is included with this phone as if you bought it right from cingular except a SIM card. All you have todo is take your old SIM card out of your previous phone and put it in the RAZR so you still have all your numbers. Cingular sells this phone for probably $300 without a contract, and various sites sell it for $200 unlocked. Im looking for $175 pickedup or shipped, I will be at the meet on Friday.

stupid question.. but this works ONLY with cingular right?

 

[PANDA]

Yes only with Cingular. This phone would be great for a existing Cingular customer that just wants to get a new phone without a new contract.

 

[DaytonaPrixMI]

The phone should be unlocked to to work with t-mobile or other gsm carrier as well. At least when I worked there all quad band GSM phones were unlocked

My BF has verizon otherwise I'd get it for him.

I just bought one of these and I love it, the reception is great and the clearity of the phone is awesome.

I say it's a decent price.. and I am gonna ask the wife if I can get it.. but you can get them for 200 brand new direct from Cingular's website, after a $50 mail in rebate.

So it's essentially brand new, right?

You gotta read the fine print. - $199 with a new 2 year contract.

The phone is brand new (thats what the lady told me when she shiped it out from Cingular). It has everything wraped and there is protective covering on the phone.

Like I said, I had to send back my origional Razor because it was acting up, I demanded a brand new phone not a refurbished one, so thats what they sent me. I want to sell this one because I dont want a silver Razor, everyone has a Silver Razor! I might by a unlocked V3i.

 

[ThaLord]

if you go to the gophone section of the site.. which is a type of plan where there are no contracts... they have it for 199.99 no contract.. after 50 MIR..

don't know if the link will work... but here is it...

but like I said.. it's still money off of new.. I will talk to wifey later.. as my phone has been sucking lately..

 

[PANDA]

Not a bad deal, my phone is still cheaper with no-rebates. I just bought a unlocked V3i so this phone has gotta be sold or else its going on eBay.

V3C ???

The V3 is the first generation of Razors. The V3C is the Verizon version. The V3i has a transflash slot, MP3 player, 1.3MP camera, new design etc. There is actually a V3X out now that has everything the V3 and V3i has but it has a 2.0MP camera, and looks a little diffrent. The V3i and the V3x are very expensive right now and you cant buy them through your cell provider yet.

I think I have the V3C but I have Us Cellular.. so does my razr suck lol??


A guy at starbucks had the blue one, he said alot of the stuff on the phone u can't even use cause its not available in the states yet

The V3C is only for non-GSM cell providers like US cellular and Verizon.

 

[staceyyearsich]

Whats GSM?

Its the type of network that Cingular and T-Mobile use. Verizon uses CDMA, so you need a phone that has CDMA.

And Thalord you will have to set up a Go-Phone account with them. Not really a big deal but an unnecessary step, it would be easier to buy this phone. It should be either brand new or a refurb (refurbs from Motorola are basically brand new anyways).

 

[staceyyearsich]

Whats US cellular use??

Is GSM better?

 

[chipmonk212121]

US cellular has the smallest coverage of all the cellular providers along with T-Mobile......... Cingular has the largest network now.......... GSM is a world technology used by over 70% of the world while CDMA (verizons, US Cellulars) is only in the US and very few places in other parts of the world.

If you buy the GO PHONE you can only use it for GO PHONE service ......... it will probably say invalid SIM or something like that. If it does work with your current SIM, then it will probably limit you to Cingulars pre-pay coverage. Thats why they have different version of the phones cuz they work differently so you cant cheat the system and try to get the phone cheaper........ all this being said..... BUY MIKES PHONE lol

The shop I work at also sells cingular. The phone is worth 260 brand new with no contract and if you set the razr in it was beause it was found that 20 - 30 % of razrs were defective and dropped calls. If you got one back it is your old battery and battery cover. But this is a good deal

 

[ThaLord]

I currently use the gophone dealy.... After a bad experience with the customer service of Nextel.. I vowed never to get into a cell contract again.

I hate contracts.. that is why I was looking at those..

Can I use your phone with the gophone service.. if it is different?

Yes you can use that GSM phone with the go phone service. You shouldn't have a problem, but if you are going to buy one get the one from Cingular. Motorola just did a recall on the units they shipped in Feb because they had a bad part that caused them to drop calls (granted all Motorola's are notorious for that) but the razr isn't a bad phone. I used one for a long time since I tested Cingular Motorolas while I was working for Cingular.

mike myself, and a good friend of mine both buy/sell phones all the time, and the going "street" price for the v3 silver is around 100, at the meet friday i can give you 100 for it...lowball offer but thought i would throw it out there man

I realize that normaly when you send out a phone to be replaced under warrenty they send you a refurbished one with just the phone and you have to use your old battery and back cover. I bitched and told Cingular I do not want a refurbished phone, so they sent me and brand new phone, and everything that comes with it. (As seen in Pictures)

I also know some people who sell stolen phones, but this one isnt stolen. Facts are that Cingular wants $260+ for the V3, various phone websites want $199, and I can sell this phone on eBay for $175+ EASY.

Sorry but I dont want to sell it for only $100, I can get much more for it on eBay if no one is interested from this forum.

 

[phat_ridegt]

no prob man. just asking as ive bought 3 for 100....i dont sell stolen phones we buy them from people who get new phones ect, or switch providers. and sell them. lol and i didnt say it was stolen! :cheers:

ebay is a good solution!
