eBay is a great place where to buy cheap cell phones. The problem is that many of these phones are imports from Malaysia or Indonesia, which will not work correctly on T-Mobile network.
I don’t think it applies to all types of phones. I had very good experience with Nokia bought in Malaysia and working perfectly in the U.S.A. On the other hand Motorola Pebble gave me a lot of problems.
- Phone didn’t recognize new voice message in the phone menu.
- Whenever I call my own voice mail I get instantly blank text message. Very annoying.
- Internet doesn’t work.
Is there an easy way to change the settings? I couldn’t find any easy solution. There is a Wireless Configuration Device, where you can pick your phone model and have text message sent to you. The text message will automatically configure your phone for T-mobile Internet. Unfortunately there is no Motorola Pebble option.
