My vogue is almost bye bye

Torob · #1 (**permalink**) 04-09-2010, 03:22 PM

First the USB problems, which i painfully yet temporarily fixed, making charging a bitch but possible... then all the case broke, and now the screen broke... the phone is ghetto and even though parts of the screen work, and the broken part is the start button which i can still click using digitizer... it's in need of being replaced

I'm broke, and still got some time left on the contract, any ideas for a cheap phone to replace this while keeping some nice functionality?

My vogue has unlimited browsing / INTERNET which is why i love it, and because of the flexibility of the phone itself, its awesome to use...
Anyway i can use another phone and still be happy? thnks

I suggest you look for a used vogue on ebay with a clean esn.
A used one should be pretty cheap.

Well, I mean a phone that can be reactivated. Some phones that are for sale have been reported lost or stolen and thus can't be reactivated legally. Usually, reputable sellers will state clearly that the esn is clean or bad. Bad esn phones can only legally be used for parts.

Look for one that is branded for your carrier to make things easiest.

There you go! You should be able to find more. Good Luck in your search Bro! Maybe someone on this site would sell you one.

Just called bell, they want $200+ for repair... and im out of warranty so nothing i can do...
my contract has 1 year left

I gotta call tomorrow morning to find out termination fee, or if i can get another 3 year (probably won't do that) with another phone... etc.
