[ale] [OT] A good place to by a used smart phone

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

Hi Chuck,

This may be an answer that is not an answer.  However, gazelle.com is 
always buying old phones from people.  They must sell them somehow.  I 
don't know how.  But it might be worth a look.

If you wanted to change carriers, you could try ting.com, which resells 
the sprint network.  They have cool pay as you use it pricing.  They 
also sell unlocked phones.  I don't know about pricing, and I think the 
phones are new.  But, they have several different models and pricing 
arrangements.  Might be worth a look.

Radio shack is a reseller for several carriers aside from the big 3.  
They also have some pay as you go plans.  Might be worth checking with 
them too.

Sincerely,

Ron

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
