    Mobile Phones

    Hey guys,

    I made it into HK, first day complete.
    I was wondering if you can help me out.

    I'm trying to get either the prepaid phone or a cell phone plan for the next 5 months and I need a phone too.

    Where is a good place to start looking? I've looked at THREE but those Iphones are expensive.

    Thanks

    why check in second hand phones within the other expat classified, yes, people paid a lot for premium phones such as iphones, htc sensation and sony ericcson's arc, traffifs are not really that cheap either

    Exactly, I don't want an Iphone. I want a basic Nokia of sorts.

    go to Ap Liu Street for a basic phone, dial out / dial in / sms, the basic functions. Can be bought for $298 up, even for a nokia.

    Not sure you can get a plan for 5 months in HK.

    Why not just ask here what they rec'd for a cheap card as you can get them at 711 or 3 Shop or where ever with NO contract. What would you want a contract?

    Of course this depends on what you need the phone for.
