    Mini-Gadget left his cell phone on the bus and it hasn't been turned in to the lost and found department. MG is -->

    Do you have a Verizon compatible phone that you would be willing to sale or trade?

    I have an older Kyocera that I retired when I got my new one. It's a Verizon phone, nothing fancy but you can have it for shipping.

    I think I have a Verizon Motorola phone still lying in the closet. Yours free if I do. If I have it, I should have the battery, charger, etc., misc. bunch of stuff that the phone came with.

    Warning: it's a crappy phone. Feels flimsy, and the "sweet spot" for listening is really small. Works fine, it just was never particularly all that nice.

    If all of those other offers happen to fall through, let me know. I'm sure I have one laying around somewhere.
    I think that the human mind is unique among all other forms of life in that it can spontaneously create unique thoughts and provide unique behaviors. Instead of rewarding that uniqueness we, for some reason probably because of cultural and social necessity, we chastise unique behavior and reward conformity.

    Did you get the Steamboat coupons?

    Hey, I'd love to piggyback on this thread.

    I'm also in need of a cheap-o verizon phone. The numbers '4' and '9' don't work anymore...which seriously limits is usefulness.

    Anyone wanna hook me up?

    thanks

    Sure join in. You were such as ass-hole when you posted in one of my Sprocket Rocket threads, I'd like nothing more than for you to get your 4 and 9 working again.

    Seriously now, how poor must you be to beg a freebie cell phone? That's just goofy.

    IG - sent you back a PM w/ details on my Motorola -- just let me know. I would bet that bio-smear's Kyocera is a nicer phone though.

    I'll check with him and see what that Kyocera looks like vs. my Motorola.

    Thanks El C. - I did receive your PM. I had also sent one to Bio Smear; he told me to check with Verizon to confirm his Kyocera is still compatible with Verizon's service.

    Though I probably won't need your phone or Bio's as P_McPoser said his donation is in the mail. I'll get back to both you and Bio Smear. Thanks again.



    Flatlander - Goofy? Maybe. Would you rather spend a couple hundred bucks replacing what was a cheap phone or spend the money on something else. Like skis. Or bikes. Or insert your purchase here.

    We just switched to Verizon, I now have several AT&T/Cingular phones sitting in a box. Based on the immediate and generous response to my original post, it sounds like I'm not the only one with unused cell phones laying around the house.

    No problem IG -- just let me know if you need the phone.

    FYI for anyone with old phones lying around -- there may be a local nonprofit agency you can donate them to. Here in Reno, the city government collects them and reprograms them to only dial 911, then gives them out as emergency phones for victims of domestic abuse:
    http://www.cityofreno.com/gov/attorney/events/

    I gave them my other phones, just kept the Verizon one since that's my current carrier, in case I needed a backup.
