Place a bid
ou are bidding on a brand new white Pantech C150 cell phone from
AT&T. No contract is required. Just insert your own AT&T or
Cingular SIM Card., the phone should work like a charm.
Several of my colleagues got this phone for free from a corporate
conference last week. The phone is not unlocked so it can only be used
for AT&T’s and Cingular’s GSM network. Since they are Sprint or
Verizon customers (CDMA network), so they ask me to sell the phone on
their behaves. To protect my eBay reputation, I tested every phone with
my own SIM Card thoroughly to ensure they are in the pristine
conditions before creating this auction.
I was amazed by the $200 MSRP value of this phone at the local
retail store. I guess the sleek design has something to with the price.
Anyway, here is the deal for you:
I have totally 3 phones on hands. I am an AT&T customer, so I might keep one for myself. The winner of
this auction will get one for sure regardless of the price. Within
hours after the auction ends, I will make a second chance offer to the
next highest bidder who bids with reasonable price (Bidding price below $60 will not receive second chance offer regardless of their final auction ranking).
If you are not an AT&T customer currently but have an active SIM Card with a different GSM carrier (T-Mobile, Rogers, Orange, American Movil, O2, China Mobile, etc.), you can use this site to remotely unlock the phone after you receive it.
Once the phone is unlocked you can use it in any GSM network around the world or resell for higher price :-)
Not only this way of listing saves me some money, but also
I don’t have to pass the cost to the winners and therefore save you
some money as well. There is no reserve price. At least one phone will
sell. I am a good eBay citizen. I won’t cancel bids or end listing
earlier for any reason. Thanks for your attention and happy bidding.

I
received several inquires since I listed this item. Instead of answer
them individually (which limits to 1000 characters), I would like to
share them to everyone so there won’t be any ambiguity in the future.
All
the Pantech phones I got are from my colleagues who got them from a
promotion booth in a corporate conference last week. Of course they are
free as you may expect. As long as I can cover all the selling fees and
etc., we will donate the rest to our schools’ alumni programs. So if
you are Blue Devils fans, please chip in some :-)
The
phones are not in the retail packages. I just uploaded a second picture
to show exactly how the package looks like. However, they are brand new
and in excellent conditions. The screen and camera lens protector have
never been removed. Below is a series of tests I performed on each
phone with my own SIM Card:
Pair with Bluetooth headsets. Motorola S9
Make
and receive phone calls to real person with build-in microphone,
build-in speakerphone, or Bluetooth headsets. The call quality is no
different from my Blackberry.
Make
phone calls to automate voice recognition system with build-in
microphone, build-in speakerphone, and Bluetooth headsets. Microphone
and Bluetooth work seamlessly. Need to speak a little bit louder on
speakerphone.
Import Address book and set and test speed dial. OK
Taking
pictures and set as photo caller ID. Pass. I am a digital photographer
and don’t believe camera phone is the replacement of DSLR. Besides
photo caller ID, I won’t use the phone to take any other kind of
pictures.
Taking videos. OK
Taking voice meos. OK
Send and receive SMS and MMS with T9. OK
Test Yahoo Mail and Yahoo IM. OK
Test MEdia Net, this is not a 3G phone, so the speed is slow.
Test tools on the phone: notepad, calculator, unit converter, world time, calendar, alarm, and stop watch. OK.
Test the games on the phone. I don’t play games on cell phone in general so as long as the game runs, I pass the test.
Customize the settings. OK
Recharge the battery to full. OK
Reset to factor default and never touch the phone again.
The
phone is ultra light and compact. I might keep one for myself for
running outside or other outdoor activities when my bulky Blackberry
seems a little bit awkward. But I will still use Blackberry in normal
daily tasks. Pantech C150 is not the replacement for that.
The
retail price without a 2-year contract commitment is $200. The average
selling price on eBay is about $110. I let you determine the fair
market value of my phones. I won’t make a second chance offer below
$60. That’s not negotiable.
eBay
is my friend, but it is not my day job. I am selling the phone as it is
and no return is permitted. I only make transactions through eBay and
Paypal because it’s convenient, safe, and fair for every eBayer. So no
check, West Union or under the table cash offer please.
Altogether,
I hope I made this clear to the current bidders as well as potential
bidders. If you bid before my update was posted, you may retract your
bids. Sorry for the inconvenience that may cause. Otherwise, thanks
again and happy bidding.
