Urgently needed advice on getting cellphone please?

[sarren]

T-Mobile has a deal where you buy a Motorola V188 for $154.25 (incl tax)

- includes phone, sim card, and 1181 minutes, and after that you can just top up with prepaid.
- quad band (so available most countries incl Aust and where Jody is travelling on to).
- texting 15c
- international calls $1.50 per minute
- calls within the US 10c per minute - NO roaming charges, I asked.
- The salesperson said she would put in an unlock request for which approval might come through before we leave (but probably not enough time, otherwise she gave us a card for another store that unlocks phones for $20)

This sounds pretty damn good to me. Am I missing something blindingly obvious?

Also, you have a year to use the minutes, and you don't have to top up.

(not that I care, but good for Jody)

Good then?

Sounds good to me, yes. *gives blessing*
