Do you have an old GSM cell phone?

[wallacestreet.livejournal.com]

So our cell phone met its untimely fate in a puddle of icy water, and we need to replace it. Do any of you have an old (or new) GSM cell phone (unlocked or T-mobile) that you'd be willing to sell or give. I'm very wary of buying a phone from Craigslist as there's a lot of stolen electronics out there, and we need a phone nowish so other internet sources take a long time. We'd be happy with whatever you've got and if it's not fancy enough, it will at least get us through until we can order a new one. Post here or by private message and thanks all in advance.

When my last phone died, I bought this as my emergency replacement:

I loved it so much I wound up keeping it, although I eventually got an iPhone. But now it makes a great spare. It's cheap, super-thin, has an e-Ink display that looks fantastic, and ridiculous battery life (like 9 days on standby). Very, very primitive but it does the job and it's nice to have around as a backup. Amazon will overnight it to you for $16 or 2-day for $10.

I have a T-mobile Nokia 6610 you're welcome to have; I replaced it a few months ago. You'd need to provide your own SIM card; there isn't one in there now, and without it the phone isn't doing much other than turning on.
It's in good shape.

We have our old V360s in the toy bin, if you can't find anything better. Presumably they still work.

However, I recycled they batteries and don't have the charger any more (gave it to someone else who posted here, actually), but if you still have those....

Thank you all for the kind offers, this is a very generous community. We now have a replacement phone and are back in business.
