[SPAN class=spnMessageText id=msg][FONT face=Verdana color=#191970 size=2]Hello.. I remember there being a place in Richmond, to get a cell phone unlocked.
Does anyone remember the name of it, and where it is?
Thanks for the help![/FONT][/SPAN]
Sorry Russ. Can't help you there. Don't know Richmond as well. Can't you pull out the directory or something like that?
Dont know the name of the place miss lise.. but I just called a friend and they said its nearby 'hot shots' or some billiard/arcade place like that, its by alderbridge and garden city.
I alos got a hit on Discoverall the world for [A href="vny!://www.uniquephones.com"]www.uniquephones.com[/A] which would save me the time and effort from going to ditchmond. Unfortunately I ordered it, paid 14.99 usd and got told that they didnt have any in stock please check my email in 24 hours??? shouldnt they freaking TELL you that before? lol, ah well. If nothing tomorrow I go to ditchmond.
Hmmm....Lise doesn't know where it is....and I don't know WHAT it is.
What does it mean to have your cell phone unlocked ? [img style="CURSOR: pointer" onclick=url(this.src); src="vny!://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/smilie/liebe/g038.gif" border=0]
Oh, so I can take a SIM card from any phone company around the world and use it in my phone. Its normal in Canada and parts fo teh USA to have phones locked in to a certain company so they only work for one company.. the company you bought your phone from.
The SIM card is basically your phone number with that company, like say Rogers. I have a few SIM cards from different phone companies around the world, but with the new phone I have it doenst recognize them.
it maybe cheaper to unlock your phone at the other location. I did this in China when I bought a sim card there.........I don't remember they charging me for the unlocking
I'd agree with you 49er if I was heading back to China again (I loved it there!, well except for the occasional food poisoning). But Im going to Africa again and wouldnt trust them with anything more technical than a pencil.
and the air pollution too Russ.
I heard that in Shanghai they don't go by green air quality days but "sun days" or days when you can see the sun. A BBC World Service reporter said he'd been their for 4 months and he had yet to see a "sun day".
