Tru phone and SIM starting at $7.98 total!! - Page 2

rfranzq · **First three little bits of information. -** 20-01-2011, 21:34

I got the phone/SIM at 1205 today [Pacific Time].

1. The box is really tiny.

2. The SIM packaging is version 2.1. $15.00 call time. [The phone box is surrounded by a sleave that promotes and explains Truphone.

3. The phone is UNLOCKED and quad-band. [You can choose all four bands or 900/1800 or 850/1900.

I will now take a short breath and register the SIM and charge the battery.

I activated the SIM with no problem--in fact, the very first phone number/area code [Calif] that I choose--it was the area code I wanted and the number had a pattern. [If you are choosing a Tru number, if you don't like the one you got, choose another state and then choose the state you want again. You may have to do it a lot to get the area code you want, and if you are picky about the number keep doing it! Eventually, you will choose one. A quick way to go is choose DC, CT or WV which do not have numbers available and then go back to the state of your choice.]

As I said before the Tru SIM has a $15.00 balance and a one month 'membership.'

If you have questions about the phone, please ask. Some one is bidding on a lot of them.

If anyone is interested, here is the URL for a PDF of the Manual that comes with the Samsung E2210B cell phone that we are mentioning here. Of course this is in English while the original in the box is in Spanish as is the other material in the box. There is an 8.5x11 inch photocopy in English of this in the box. This is the same and you can always blow up the thing on your computer.

Well bestbuy and its subsidiaries have apparently finished selling the phone SIM combo. 131 were sold on eBay. An additional 47 were sold on overstock.com .

Hope some of you got some for the Truphone SIM or even the phone or both.

More of these phones have been posted on eBay. 9 as I write this.
