Anyone got a couple or even one laying around to sell for a reasonable price? Just added a couple of lines for my mom and dad and they only use them to the tune of 10 or 20 minutes a month...so I don't want to shell out too much to buy new if I don't have to ........

Thanks

Chris,

Are you spending a monthly charge (e.g. $9.99) to add them to your plan? If you are, then you're better off just putting them on prepaid T-Mobile To Go plans. You can get them cheap phones, then buy load them with prepaid minutes. If you spend more than $100 for prepaid minutes, then the minutes are good for 1 year. I got my mom off of her $24.99 a month plan with Cingular and set her up with 1000 prepaid minutes for $100, which easily lasts her the 1 year that they're good for (so $8.25 per month). And everytime she reloads, it extends all of her minutes out for another year.

If your parents are part of your plan for free, then just buy the T-Mobile To Go phones and swap out the SIM cards. Here's one for $30: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/...8-c81b4845789e

 

Perfect advice....went out and did it.....folks are happy...I am happy......

THANKS

You're welcome.

So did you get your parents on prepaid plans, or just get the phones and swap out the SIMs?
