Choose Your Own Phone!

In a previous post, I addressed the fact that you do not have to choose from the limited selection of GSM phones that i wireless sells. Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Samsung all sell unlocked GSM phones on their company websites. This New York Times Article provides more detail on the issues involved with buying new, unlocked GSM phones, and some suggestions for customers who want more choice in the one device that comes with them wherever they go. Additional distribution outlets mentioned in the article include the manufacturers' company-owned stores and independent retailers such as CompUSA. If you do choose to go this route, you will need i wireless' GPRS & MMS settings so that you can properly program your device once you buy it.

Great Deals on the Web

I know the stated purpose of this blog is to help i wireless customers make the most of the expanded data offerings, but I couldn't resist mentioning some great deals that are available now only on the web. The Motorola V235, Motorola V361, Motorola PEBL U6 (black), and the Nokia 6103 are all now just a penny on the i wireless website (with a two-year agreement). The Motorola V361, Motorola PEBL U6 (black), and the Nokia 6103 require a mail-in rebate to get to the penny price.

If you are a fan of great deals and carry an older handset, you may want to bookmark this link. That is where you will find surplus, discontinued and open-box items from i wireless (mostly accessories).
