Wanted: Unlocked Motofone F3

[ururk]

:D

I'm trying to buy a cell phone...

Blue (or black, blue preferred) Motorola Motofone F3 (GSM 850/1900)
Telcel SIM card (for unlocking purposes if the phone is locked to Telcel)

Anyone headed over to Mexico on a trip? Or, is anyone in Mexico willing to help me out? I posted this in the Off-topic forum, but no one responded.

I would prefer an unlocked Motofone, but if there is one locked to Telcel then that would have to do.

PM me if you can help.

Thanks!

Have you tried eBay?

[ururk]

Yes (though you'd think they'd be on eBay).

On eBay, the phones are coming from India, so they are the wrong frequency for USA GSM. The US uses 850/1900, India uses 900/1800. Mexico only uses 1900, however, the phone shipped to Mexico is dual band 850/1900.

You would think someone would be selling the Mexican/Chilean version of the Motofone here in the US, but they haven't. There are several for a decent price on mercadolibre.com.mx, but the sellers either won't respond, or do not ship to the US. Plus, in order to unlock it, I probably need a Telcel chip.

Actually...

someone who went down to Mexico sent me a phone (that I paid for). It is pretty neat, I wish I could import them and make a small fortune :D
