You've sold you're 3G/3GS and you're now waiting for your new iPhone 4.


Here's my limbo phone, Motorola L2 (older pic):

edit: kinda nice to go several days between charges :D

I sold my 3G yesterday and asked my only friend with at&t if he had an old phone I could barrow for a week.

It just happened he still had his old cracked 3G, so I still have an iPhone while in limbo, it just has a cracked screen. Touch still works fine.

Razr V3, unlocked from T-Mobile. I'm sure glad I thought ahead and got them to give me the unlock code before I left. :cool:
 
Question, if I sell my 3Gs and use a limbo phone for a while, will that drop my unlimited data plan?

I've heard both answers, but the fact that no one could 100% confirm it wouldn't happen, I'm just going phone-less.....which SUCKS.
 
I was going to pop my sim card into an old, old nokia until I read a post on here. A few people lost their unlimited data plans because they weren't using an iPhone. An AT&T rep told them they have to pick one of the new plans when/if they purchase the iPhone 4. Just an FYI. I'm not sure if this is true or not, but now I'm too scared to transfer the sim. :confused:

Edit: Looks like someone beat me to it

Gah, that sucks so bad. I wanted to use one of those trade-in programs, but every day, the prize goes down like mad. Gazelle is only shelling out $222 for a 32GB 3GS, whereas it was at $304 like two days ago.
 
omg mine is definitely the worst! its a CHINESE iPhone mini, possible the most difficult to use phone out there. my friend bought one while we were there and when we got home went out and bought a 3gs.

some people have claimed that it did, it didn't for me though. However, I will not take this risk again.....next time around I am just gonna sell the iPhone after the new one comes out. I ordered the 32GB for $299

I've had this for 8, long days. this must be the newer version, too....

iPhone 3G...almost two years old now. It’ll be so nice to finally have a phone without a crack on the front (even if it is below the screen...)
