Getting a new RAZR

G'day all;

My wife dropped her RAZR and the internal display has taken a dump
(the little one on the outside is okay). I went to a local Cingular
store to buy a replacement phone. Yep. They had 'em. And for the
measly sum of ~$325.00 I could have one too. NOT!

I paid less than that for two of them together when I bought 'em.
So I figured that I'd buy one off the web somewhere, and change the
SIM to the new phone. That's all I need to do, right? I don't need
to fool with the ESN (? - the internal electronic number) do I?

If John or anyone else reading here has any tips on how to get this
done in the most expedient and cost effective manner, I'd be
grateful to read about 'em.


TIA,
Dusty

Unlocked new Razrs are going for between $170 & $180 including shipping
on eBay. Thats less than $325 last I looked.

Just drop in your SIM and you're good to go.

I purchased our 2 Razrs a couple of months ago form Ebay for around $150
each and they worked fine with the old simcard. I did however call Cingular
and gave the the new phone IMEI 3's for insurance purposes on my daughter's
phone.

Just be sure it's either unlocked or locked to Cingular.
