Just a follow up on the cell phones recommended by brother orange. I bought a SLVR L6i. $53.00 and it works great. I also bought a cheapie recommended by Amazon, a motorola F3. It,s a dog. Don't buy one. It's cheap $20.00, but iot's money down the drain.

$53 is a good price for a good unlocked phone. You could always give away the other one as a propina.

$53 huh?

If anybody is looking for a Motorola L6, I just bought one for my wife for CR through Ebay. The guy is in NY, close to me, so we did it off Ebay and I picked it up from him. The total (incl shipping) is $33 (I paid $25). He's got more models/colors, look at his page:

http://cell-phones.shop.ebay.com/Cell-P ... 11.c0.m282

It may say "open box" as mine did, but it is new (some are refurbs-read the listing), came in original box and all accessories. The L6's are European versions (tri-band 900/1800/1900). For CR, 1800Mhz will do. Verify with any seller that it works on 1800. The menus come in English, German, and French.

Here's the L6 I got: http://cgi.ebay.com/Motorola-MOTOSLVR-L ... 35a9ce53b1

Not only is this a rip off, but this guy is currently trying to screw me out of about $300. I used a credit card to pay, and he jacked up the price on me, AFTER I signed the form. I'm disputing this with my cc right now; it's been going back and forth for 6 months now.

This is an important lesson: always keep a receipt for some kind of documentation of your transactions when using a credit card, or run the risk of this happening.

If you rent a car, ask them for a cellphone, they are cheaper, and they (proly) won't try to screw you.

Does anyone know the website to recharge SIM cards? An English site would be helpful. Thanks!

I found the website and it is back on-line but when i try to create an account I receive an error message. I have emailed the service group from the site requesting a user account...I will let everyone know if this works.

They're still selling the RAZR's. I just picked one up at a local Factory Direct electronics store for $49 - factory refurbished with warranty. Figured it would be a cheap way to have a cell on my next visit to CR and I might just give it to my novia when I leave. She has a habit of throwing her phones at her sister
