Is it a good idea or a bad idea to buy a used cell phone on eBay?
Real Bad Idea. First of all, you have to make sure that the phone you are getting is either unlocked or locked to your service provider. For example, if the phone is locked to T-Mobile, you wont be able to use it with Cingular. And unlocked phones are really expensive. If you want to add a phone to your plan, you should just add a whole new line. You will usually get a free phone, or at a lower price.
