Hello my lovelies!
Ok I already have a Virgin mobile so....don't suggest getting another kind of phone haha
Howeverrrr....I have a warranty and I want to change mine to a different virgin mobile phone.
I have Nokia Groove 3155i. And have had Audiovox 8910 before.
The Nokia Groove sucks big time because it doesn't send like 95% of my text messages.
What do you guys think of Virgin Mobiles Samsung a640?
Which is the best Virgin Mobile to go with?
Wow, that's one too many questions LOL
Ohhh and no u.k phone suggestion please...CANADIAN only =)
Thanks mucho sexy mamas and papas!
XoXo
Sarah

Mobile Network in UK?
as a new customer what is the best offer at the moment to start a new contract with mobile network in UK plz ( aim not happy with with 3 network ) .Many Thanks
Mobile Network in UK?
Look at O2 online offers, they offer some really good deals
Reply:I've been with T-Mobile for about 14yrs, and if you ask you get some great deals.
Reply:02 Simplicity is a really affordable contract. You don't get a new phone but get a lot of minutes if you need them.
Reply:It depends upon your level of intended usage both in quantity and facilities.
For example, if you only use a couple of minutes per day, then virgin moble's Pay as You Go, combined with direct debit is cost effective.
However if you use a lot of minutes or texts or data downloads, then other providers would be better for you.
Carphone Warehouse shops often has good and objective comparisons of services and costs.
If most of the calls you make are to people on a particular network, it is often best to be on the same network, as calls are often cheaper to phones on the same network.
Also, when you move providers in the UK, you have a right to move your number to the new provider, so you don't have to tell everyone your new number.
Reply:All you should compare is how much does each company charge per call per minute. Forget anything that is "free"
Reply:o2 do a on line deal were you top up around £10 or more and get unlimited text's each month

Could I put a T Mobile sim card in a Sidekick? Help 10 points?
I have a normal T Mobile Slider and I really want to get a T Mobile Sidekick online on like EBay. Could I take the sim card from my slider and put it in my Sidekick??? Would it work fine since they're both T Mobile?? Thxs
Could I put a T Mobile sim card in a Sidekick? Help 10 points?
Since they're both T-Mobile phones it'll work fine.
Reply:yes it would work fine but to get all the features the sidekicks have like the Internet you will have to pay like 20 dollars extra a month. But if you dont want to pay you can just use it as a phone and to text.

Mobile phone question.?
I am travelling to France later in the year. I am hopeless at techno stuff....I have a pay as you go Mobile phone..(Vodaphone) I was thinking of asking a friend in France to buy a French Sim card for a French phone Co. and send it to me. Is this a good idea? Could I just put it in my phone when I got to France? I thought it would be cheaper than using my UK phone. What do you think? Any other suggestions.....my present phone is ancient, but still works fine....don't need a camera etc.
Mobile phone question.?
Vodafone do a thing called passport now which is free to regioster, it is 75p for first 3 minutes then your UK rate.
Reply:shouldnt need to. you can still send messages/make calls, but they`ll be a bit more expensive. you could look into how much it would cost for this and decide whcih way is cheaper. Personally though i wouldnt bother.

Hello people.

Mobile games for samsung u700? how to install?
Installing games on Samsung phones is a bit trickier than usual. I have heard lots of people have the same problem as you. My advice is search mobile9 forums for a guide on how to install games to a samsung (doesn't need to be phone specific).
I'm not 100% sure but i think you need to use wap and have a jad file as well. However, i did find this:

Mobile phone companies in Australia?
What is a good company to get a mobile phone that will allow unlimited text and talk each month (what is the price for this) and also allows me to call to the US?
Mobile phone companies in Australia?
You can choose to either go on prepaid - where you simply buy credit as and when you run out.... or postpaid...aka a plan.
Virgin mobile does a great deal - free text and calls to other Virgin mobile users in Australia. But of course, this only works if you have other friends on the Virgin network.
That said, most of the phone companies are pretty competitive, in terms of rate. I would suggest looking at Virgin, Three and Vodafone.
With regards to calling to the US, I would strongly recommend looking for a calling card as this works out much cheaper than using a landline to dial an overseas number, let alone using a mobile phone!
http://onlinecallingcards.com.au/
Hope this helps!
Reply:When I speak to anyone overseas, I use yahoo messenger or ninemsn messenger and you can talk to them for as long as you like. All you both need is a yahoo ID or a ninemsn hotmail ID.
Phone Companies are Telstra, Optus, Virgin, Vodafone, but as to what deals they have, I don't know. check them out on the net re google. www.telstra.com.au and type the rest of them this way also with the .com.au behind the name.
Reply:Optus is the best, followed by vodaphone. I've heard virgin is so-so and believe me Telstra is crap!
Reply:Australian mobile companies are very expensive compared to the U.S. Make sure you compare the cost against global roaming if your current phone company offers it.
Another thing to be aware of is that most Australian mobile companies will expect you to go on a contract for between 6-24 months. The site listed below might help to get an idea of costs.
Reply:pricing structures for mobile phones are completely different between the US and Australia (I discovered this the hard way when i went tot he states) But ultimately the first thing you should know is that without a credit history in this country (min 12 months) you will find it very hard to get a mobile which allows international dialling. I suggest you use skype to call home qand get a prepaid for your local stuff so that you aren't locked into anything too costly.
Reply:Telstra is the main company in Australia, but they are all very similar. Optus gives alot of deals and bonuses, and there is also virgin, vodafone, and so on. Check out their deals and contact details on these webstites to find out what you need, but i would suggest you use any of the ones i suggested, because they are the most trustworthy!! : )

Mobile broadband internet connection keeps cutting off?
About 3 months ago now I decided to get the Three mobile broadband thingy. Really impressed at first, I'm getting the HSDPA signal and getting download speeds of about 150kb/s. Which may seem slow to you, but after using the internet through my phone at 5kb/s, I've kinda noticed the speed difference. Anyhow, I am getting full signal strength as it says on the devices software, but sometimes it loses that HSDPA signal and switches back to 3g, it does not lose any signal bars, and just recently it is switching to and from 3g and HSDPA so quickly that it does not find time for an internet connection. I would really like to find a way just to have the 3g connection, so at least I could have a stable internet connection. It has nothing to do with the my computer as I have re-installed this on my laptop now with exactly the same results, I do not see anywhere in the options to have a connection preference. any software alternative for the Huawei e220? Help!!!

These devices are still fairly new - have you contacted '3' for a resolve?

If I have free mobile to mobile can I check my voicemail for free?
I have tmobile and free mobile to mobile. When I call myself on my cellphone It directs straight to my voicemail.. Are these free minutes, because I have free mobile to mobile..
If I have free mobile to mobile can I check my voicemail for free?
Yes. With T-Mobile's unlimited mobile to mobile, calling your voicemail is considered a mobile to mobile call. You don't even have to dial your number for it to be a free call. Just press and hold the "1" button and it will automatically dial your voicemail. I always use the "1" key to dial my voicemail and it is a mobile to mobile call. You can register at my.t-mobile.com for free to check your account info and minute usage. If you go to the current usage, it will show VM Retrieval and have a (F) next to it indicating a mobile to mobile call, just like below.

Mobile home question?
i have a 1998 doublewide mobile home 28x54 southridge it is on 1 acre of land i would like to sell this but it is currently not valued at what i owe. i would like to know what improvements or remodeling i can do to it to increase the value of it. the current payoff is 56000.00 so i need to make it worth that. what improvements can anyone suggest.
Mobile home question?
I've been there!! You don't say where it is (state, county or city etc.). In a time with real estate being so suppressed, it is likely the land is worth more than the mobile home. No matter what you do to it, it is still a mobile home. I'm sorry, but you will either have to just ride it out to pay off, default, and let the mortguage company forclose, or sell it at a loss.
Reply:you dont say how short you are in value. if a few thousand dollars then yes some updating would improve its value. if tens of thousands well then you might be stuck. see if you can divide the lot into two then maybe you can sell both parcels for that much
Reply:You might want to talk to a Realtor specializing in mobile homes and ask for their suggestions. You didn't mention the appraised value vs the mortgage owed. if the difference is substantial ($20,000+), unless the existing conditions warrant it, investing another $5,000 for cosmetics/updates probably will have little if any results. You may also talk with your bank and ask if there are any hardship programs available if your having a problem making the mortgage payments. this may include a refinance or extended payoff.
Reply:Not knowing anything about the county, or the market for mobiles there, I have some thoughts.
Living in one now, and having owned others, I want to agree in part with answer 1. First of all the value for you is in the land, not strictly the mobile, No offense meant.
You state it isn't VALUED at what you owe, which isn't at all uncommon, it is after all a 10 year old "Vehicle" I have no idea how long you've owned it, but have to believe as a buyer, a major part of the value to you was the land. I'd want to KNOW exactly what the tax assessed value is, or was last time you paid taxes, and registration/tag fees.
Also not knowing at all, the condition of the mobile, or the land I suggest NOT putting huge $$$ into either. As one answer alludes to, CURB APPEAL and cosmetics may help, but it is a mobile. To make major improvements or upgrades will never get you, your money back.
Part of the problem is getting financing for mobiles, especially now, with the Real Estate market in a slump, and the fact that it's an election year, and that we are approaching a recession, all contribute.
Certainly you can start small, such as upgrading 10 year old fixtures like sinks etc., Lighting fixtures, carpet, wall color or paneling, door knobs, cabinet handles, making cosmetic, practical improvements to the property, adding or offering in the sale, some small appliances, NEW, or furnishings, etc..
You're obviously "Upside down" in the mobile, but to spend thousands won't get you the 56 K. Whatever your choices in upgrades and improvements you should probably consider them sales points, but not profit increases.
Certainly when it's advertised, be creative, but honest. Play up the 1 acre, no neighbors within earshot, the value of the land, any improvements, even Freshly Painted. Shopping close, JOBS, recreation close, schools, etc. etc. State what the taxes are and adv. that as LOW. Consider Homeowners insurance even checking to help any prospective buyer know they can get Ins. without problems.
Other things such as Plumbing and electric will be things to check and possibly upgrade, NEW washer/dryer, New or repaired Decking, Screenrooms etc. Add a storage building, Pave the drive, even with gravel, create plant beds, Carport or garage, ROOF substance and condition??? The CURB appeal will be the initial HOOK, if anyone is interested.
Having no idea at all what your budget is, if you happened to spend 4K, bringing you up to 60K, you might consider you'll take a loss no matter, but at least be more able to sell, than advertising it AS IS.
Can you afford to RENT it? Hold the mortgage? Offer a Low down?
Steven Wolf
Just my two "sense"
Reply:It isn't clear whether you are talking about selling the mobile only or the land as well. You can't do a lot about the value of the land, usually. You also don't say how much the place is currently valued at, so we have no idea how much added value you're looking for. Whether you really get your money back when you do improvements depends on what you do, and how you do it. A major improvement such as a new kitchen will certainly get you a higher selling price, but it's unlikely to get you back more than you spent on it. It's like a car; if you have a $2,000 car and get $1,000 worth of repairs done on it, it doesn't mean you now have a $3,000 car, you probably have a $2400 car. If you do the work yourself, then you will effectively pay yourself for your labour when you sell. Think about projects low in materials costs but with your own labour used, such as painting. Clean and tidy the heck out of house and yard, that always helps and could be worth a 1000 or 2 at selling time, depending.
Kind of wish we had your real estate prices where I live. I've got an 18-year old mobile on 3 acres, it cost $250,000 almost 2 years ago and has gone up since which is nice but I'd rather have paid less to start with.
Reply:land scap curb appeal . focus on the Kitchen ,if the new buyer the wife doe not like the kitchen or the master bed room and bath, they won't buy no matter what the price is.
remember a fresh coat of paint on all walls is a pluss. No wild colors just a clean look , a pallate for the new owners to work with
Reply:Steven has given a very good synopsis of the situation.
Personally, I have always been against purchasing a pre-manufactured or Mobile home because of it's continual depreciation. It's like buying an expensive car. You can never re sell it for what you have invested. As a matter of fact, here in Georgia, a problem with disposing of unwanted mobil homes is developing. No one knows what to do with them.
Basically, it's like paying rent. If you are not concerned about building equity, that's your choice.
But, that's not solving your problem. My advise to you is to sell it for whatever you can, take that money and run! I hope you will learn from the lesson and buy a nice stick built home that builds equity.
Reply:I agree with Steven. Any money you stick in the property will get you very little in return. I would make it as attractive as possible. Plant some flowers and clean the place up real nice. Talk to a few successful real estate companies in your area who handle mobile homes. See what they have to say. Tell them what you need to get out from under it and go from there. Good luck.

Certainly you can start small, such as upgrading 10 year old fixtures like sinks etc., Lighting fixtures, carpet, wall color or paneling, door knobs, cabinet handles, making cosmetic, practical improvements to the property, adding or offering in the sale, some small appliances, NEW, or furnishings, etc..
You're obviously "Upside down" in the mobile, but to spend thousands won't get you the 56 K. Whatever your choices in upgrades and improvements you should probably consider them sales points, but not profit increases.
Certainly when it's advertised, be creative, but honest. Play up the 1 acre, no neighbors within earshot, the value of the land, any improvements, even Freshly Painted. Shopping close, JOBS, recreation close, schools, etc. etc. State what the taxes are and adv. that as LOW. Consider Homeowners insurance even checking to help any prospective buyer know they can get Ins. without problems.
Other things such as Plumbing and electric will be things to check and possibly upgrade, NEW washer/dryer, New or repaired Decking, Screenrooms etc. Add a storage building, Pave the drive, even with gravel, create plant beds, Carport or garage, ROOF substance and condition??? The CURB appeal will be the initial HOOK, if anyone is interested.
Having no idea at all what your budget is, if you happened to spend 4K, bringing you up to 60K, you might consider you'll take a loss no matter, but at least be more able to sell, than advertising it AS IS.
Can you afford to RENT it? Hold the mortgage? Offer a Low down?
Steven Wolf
Just my two "sense"
Reply:It isn't clear whether you are talking about selling the mobile only or the land as well. You can't do a lot about the value of the land, usually. You also don't say how much the place is currently valued at, so we have no idea how much added value you're looking for. Whether you really get your money back when you do improvements depends on what you do, and how you do it. A major improvement such as a new kitchen will certainly get you a higher selling price, but it's unlikely to get you back more than you spent on it. It's like a car; if you have a $2,000 car and get $1,000 worth of repairs done on it, it doesn't mean you now have a $3,000 car, you probably have a $2400 car. If you do the work yourself, then you will effectively pay yourself for your labour when you sell. Think about projects low in materials costs but with your own labour used, such as painting. Clean and tidy the heck out of house and yard, that always helps and could be worth a 1000 or 2 at selling time, depending.
Kind of wish we had your real estate prices where I live. I've got an 18-year old mobile on 3 acres, it cost $250,000 almost 2 years ago and has gone up since which is nice but I'd rather have paid less to start with.
Reply:land scap curb appeal . focus on the Kitchen ,if the new buyer the wife doe not like the kitchen or the master bed room and bath, they won't buy no matter what the price is.
remember a fresh coat of paint on all walls is a pluss. No wild colors just a clean look , a pallate for the new owners to work with
Reply:Steven has given a very good synopsis of the situation.
Personally, I have always been against purchasing a pre-manufactured or Mobile home because of it's continual depreciation. It's like buying an expensive car. You can never re sell it for what you have invested. As a matter of fact, here in Georgia, a problem with disposing of unwanted mobil homes is developing. No one knows what to do with them.
Basically, it's like paying rent. If you are not concerned about building equity, that's your choice.
But, that's not solving your problem. My advise to you is to sell it for whatever you can, take that money and run! I hope you will learn from the lesson and buy a nice stick built home that builds equity.
Reply:I agree with Steven. Any money you stick in the property will get you very little in return. I would make it as attractive as possible. Plant some flowers and clean the place up real nice. Talk to a few successful real estate companies in your area who handle mobile homes. See what they have to say. Tell them what you need to get out from under it and go from there. Good luck.
Mobile home..water sitting on pad.?
I'm putting in a double wide mobile home onto my property...Ive got concrete runners installed on a clay pad, the top of the runners are "flush" with the pad itself. The pad slopes away from the concrete runners but rain does not run off when it gets on top of the pad itself .In fact the rain water just sits on top of some of the runners (in some areas over a inch deep) because there are mounds of dirt in between each runner...Should I level out the mounds? or should i put more dirt in on top of the runners? . Today is Wed. and I'm moving the home in on Monday. It rained lastnight and there is water on a few of the runners just as ive been talking about...With sunlight, it will evaporate in notime but once the house gets in im worried this wont be the case...Although the clay pad and runners are above the "regular" ground level im pretty sure rain water will eventually get under the house after i move it in and i wouldnt want it standing on the runners for long...Any advice is apprecia

Try using sharp sand instead of dirt in between the runners.

Mobile home question..Concrete runners installed..water issue.?
I think that the home will prevent it from getting wetter. Skirting shouldn't be installed untill it dries out under the home. It will dry out even with the home over it.

Mobile Phone Tools?
I recently got a Motorola RAZR V3i. I got Mobile Phone Tools off the internet as well. When I hook my phone up to my computer via usb cable, MPT opens and there is a phone on my screen. But it doesn't recognize my phone. And no matter what format, the ringtones and pictures are in the wrong one. Can anyone help me?
Mobile Phone Tools?
The cell-phone only works, when recognizing by the MPT.
There can be more than one defect.
Check the cable (possibly newinstallation).
Check the battery of the phone ( must be full).
Check the MPT installation.
Check Ur steps to conect the phone.
Does this look good

I have got a digital camera, an Mp3/4 player, and a mobile phone, which is not so hot. It's an old Nokia phone, would it make any sense to get a new phone, because I've already got all this stuff? It's all better quality than what is in one phone, right???

Mobile Internet in Spain (pay as you go)? UMTS 3G?
Hi, I am using 3 PAYG Internet in the UK and need something similar in Spain. Mobile Internet in Spain - pay as you go. Thanks for you help guys.

Mobile Internet in Spain (pay as you go)? UMTS 3G?
Depends who your provider is. I use Orange/Wanado and on Pay As You Go too - no problems so far and I've been with them for over 10 years. Costs are a 'tad' high, but remember that incoming calls are charged.....so, best to 'discourage' anybody from ringing you ! Receiving texts doesn't cost you anything - sending them DOES !
Reply:ive got the mobile internet connection from movistar.the biggest mobile company in spain.my contract is 1 euro a day up to 10mb of traffic,if dont use it you dont have to pay the euro,lol.no fixed charge,or minumum fee so thats okay.if you go above 10mb in the same day it costs you another euro.the coverage and speed depends where you are.sometimes its pathetic,forget about big file downloads,only good for reading your mail,messenger runs okay.also depends which part of the country you are,madrid and centre of spain are more movistar orientated,whereas north and barcelona have better vodafone coverage(vodafone other big mobile company in spain).by the way you have to buy the modem, pcmcia/usb but they give you a discount if you sign a contract for a year.about the vodafone service i only know the prices,dont know if the service is better.with vodafone you have to pay a fixed monthly rate,about 30 euros,but you still have a limited daily traffic,if you go over they charge for excess. they have unlimited traffic contracts but i think it goes up to more than 60 euros a month.hope this has given you an idea.

Mobile phone prepaid simcard..?
Hey,
I got this phone that works with a tiny little plastic card that goes under the battery in (some of them) mobile phones, also know as the Simcard. Well since most of the american phones does not work with a replacable simcard was i wondering if i can just buy a Sim Only or a cheap phone that works with a prepaid sim card. I already have a phone (I came from Europe but It does work here!!) so I only need just a simcard on which i can put prepaid money (plastic cards from wal-mart for example). I don't need any annual plans or something because it is only for 6 months.
Is this possible?
I have been to a couple of hardware stores like Best Buy but they seems not to know what i`m looking for....
I would like to use Alltel or AT%26amp;T as carrier..
thanks!!
Mobile phone prepaid simcard..?
Its not just a question of Sim card. You have to sign with a carrier, usually they wont let you have less than a year contract. Also check your phone model, as the US uses a different frequency than European GSM, the only Phones from Europe that work in the US are Quad Band GSM/GPRS. Check your users manual or phone manufactures page for this info,
Reply:If your phone is unlocked and you said it works here - yes, you can just buy a sim card. No need to buy a new phone. I have a quad band int'l phone and I just bought a sim card at the T-Mobile kiosk. Paid $40 for the sim card and free 300 minutes. Then I just buy a refill card (prepaid cards) as they call it here to load more minutes. They range from $10 - $100. I only pay for the minutes used. But remember, incoming texts and calls are also charged. They have different prepaid cards plans also.

How can i determine someone change her mobile no / just switch off?
Whenever i call to the no., the response is always" the mobile number u have called is currently switch off or unavilable..."
* usually when someone switch off their mobile, it would just say "the mobile number u have called is currently unavailable"
So y there's suddenly there has " currently switch off"... HN it happened for more than 3 days to that person
If u dun believe, u could swtich yr mobile n try it yourself to call directly to it from other phones
How can i determine someone change her mobile no / just switch off?
Different providers have different messages. This is a typical message that I have heard before.

Mobile phone uses Radio wave or Microwave?
My lecturer said mobile phone uses microwave but I found some web sites and books say radio wave. why is this?
I have been confused...
Mobile phone uses Radio wave or Microwave?
Microwaves are also radiowaves.
Cell phone frequencies do fall in the radio frequency region of 300 MHz to 300 GHz - which is referred to as microwaves.
They're called microwaves because of it's wavelength which falls in the 1mm to 300mm band.
When you drive down the road and you see the high towers with the satellite dishes these are microwave towers for telephone communications.
Microwave ovens use these same frequencies to "cook food", but at much higher power. That's why people were concerned that they may be getting brain damage from using a cell phone alot. Nothing has been proven, but I wouldn't walk around all day with a radio transmitter connected to my ear. Use the earphone/microphone attachment.
Reply:Mobile phones do use Radio Waves- although the border on the EM spectrum between Radio Waves and Microwaves is very fine and difficult to distinguish.
But, yes, you are correct officially mobiles are classed as using radio waves, but your lecturer wasn't entirely wrong as it's a fine line between the two.
Reply:RADIO WAVES!!!

Mobile phone towers for rent in our own land?
we are in idea , to provide the land for rent for setting up of mobile phone towers, whom should we contact 2 to do this.
Mobile phone towers for rent in our own land?
First you need to contact your county, make sure they will issue a permit for a tower. You can't just up and decide to build one.
As the other poster stated, the location of each tower is pretty specific, and dependent on the location of other towers. The companies proactively contact landowners and companies (most are actually on top of huge stores so that they are not an eye sore) in area they need coverage. You will know if they need coverage where you are, cell phones will not work.
Here is a list of what Verizon requires for towers, I am sure the other companies are the same as this is all regulated.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/reale...
Reply:The mobile phone companies will contact you if they see a need.
The towers have a specific location needed, based on coverage areas. Odds are, if they thought they needed an additional tower in your area, they would have already been in contact with you.
If you want to go the other route, though, contact the phone company's general information number and ask to be connected to the property acquisition department.

Mobile phone?
There are various ways did it come with a u.s.b. cable? plug that in and if you are on windows vista it should find the phone and be able to download from it, otherwise does the phone have bluetooth if so you can but a bluetooth dongle for about a tenner and these plug in to your usb port and you transfer using the bluetooth program on your phone.
Reply:through wire
Reply:there are three ways.
1. if this phone has a memory card, use a memory card reader to transfer whatever you want.
2. Data Cable. you would have got it with the phone. install the phone browser that is on the cd you got along with the phone.
3. Bluetooth
Reply:Did it come with a USB wire? If so connect that from the phone to the computer and Bob's your uncle!

Mobile Phone Help??
I had a mobile phone but it broke and when I asked my Mum for a new one she wouldn't get me a new one (which is fair enough). So my Mum is getting me one for my birthday and I am trying to decide on what type to get.
I need one that can call/text (obviously) and take videos/pictures plus have a few games on it and maybe music. Needs to be under $150 australian dollars and internet access isn't at all needed.
So please help me! Thanks in advance by the way =)

Mobile phone - Prepaid Credit VS Plans/Cap Plans?
I'm a return full-time university student, therefore i will be unemployed/or have minimal income.
My mobile phone plan has expired and am considering which would be suitable for me?
Which offers a better deal? A pre-paid credit or a plan/cap plan?
Thanks in advance!
Mobile phone - Prepaid Credit VS Plans/Cap Plans?
depends on how much u talk or text on ur phone. if u dont talk that much then i say prepaid if u do a lot of talking then it just might be cheaper to get a plan. or if u have metro PCS where u live u might look into that because it gives u unlimited talking and texting for like $45/month.
Reply:Hello Maria, I think, if you think that you're out of budget for your cellphone bill, don't use a plan...just a pre-paid.
It's just a matter of self control regarding expenses.
I'm jobless now for 3 months and I'm also using a plan for my cellphone but I cut it out. I cancelled my plan and use prepaid. It works, I don't have to worry for my monthly bills.
If there are important people you would like to call, just use a landline phone and call them.
I hope it will work for you too...have a nice day.

Mobile phone tools vs mini sd card?
which is better and why? I've heard that using usb mobile phone tools makes your pictures show up blurry and small
Mobile phone tools vs mini sd card?
Hi ANASTASIA,
Mobile Phone Tools does not make your pictures blurry. It transfers the pictures you have to your phone. If it is a good picture it shows up good. If it is a bad picture to begin with it will show up blurry.
You can't hurt anything by trying it and it isn't expensive. For current eBay listings go to eBay and do a search for “Motorola Phone Tools”. Look at the ones that offer digital delivery. I have seen it as cheap as $1.95
Once you have the software Motorola updates it free forever.

Reply:you can download either way neither will produce any different effect on your pics

Mobile home cost?
How much would a 4 bedroom 2-3 bathroom mobile home cost in new mexico?
Mobile home cost?
Catties answer is BRILLIANT!
If you want an approximate price for used, try www.mhv.com. When you get the site, put your zip code in. You will see many homes in the area for sale, where they are, possibly photos and prices.
Reply:Homes are not called "mobile" unless they are older than pre-1976 I believe. Your question is somewhat open-ended. It depends upon the same factors as with any home...location, quantity of property, age, and the condition of the home. Today a manufactured home is in many cases better built than a stick built home . My two most recent quality builder stick built homes lacked severely in many areas i.e. linen storage. The floors squeaked. I love the ingenuity of the manufacturered home designers. I can't understand why a stick built builder can't apply the same principles. It is unfortunate that public persona is still biased against manufactured housing.

Mobile home question?
i have a 1998 doublewide mobile home 28x54 southridge it is on 1 acre of land i would like to sell this but it is currently not valued at what i owe. i would like to know what improvements or remodeling i can do to it to increase the value of it. the current payoff is 56000.00 so i need to make it worth that. what improvements can anyone suggest.
Mobile home question?
I've been there!! You don't say where it is (state, county or city etc.). In a time with real estate being so suppressed, it is likely the land is worth more than the mobile home. No matter what you do to it, it is still a mobile home. I'm sorry, but you will either have to just ride it out to pay off, default, and let the mortguage company forclose, or sell it at a loss.
Reply:you dont say how short you are in value. if a few thousand dollars then yes some updating would improve its value. if tens of thousands well then you might be stuck. see if you can divide the lot into two then maybe you can sell both parcels for that much
Reply:You might want to talk to a Realtor specializing in mobile homes and ask for their suggestions. You didn't mention the appraised value vs the mortgage owed. if the difference is substantial ($20,000+), unless the existing conditions warrant it, investing another $5,000 for cosmetics/updates probably will have little if any results. You may also talk with your bank and ask if there are any hardship programs available if your having a problem making the mortgage payments. this may include a refinance or extended payoff.
Reply:Not knowing anything about the county, or the market for mobiles there, I have some thoughts.
Living in one now, and having owned others, I want to agree in part with answer 1. First of all the value for you is in the land, not strictly the mobile, No offense meant.
You state it isn't VALUED at what you owe, which isn't at all uncommon, it is after all a 10 year old "Vehicle" I have no idea how long you've owned it, but have to believe as a buyer, a major part of the value to you was the land. I'd want to KNOW exactly what the tax assessed value is, or was last time you paid taxes, and registration/tag fees.
Also not knowing at all, the condition of the mobile, or the land I suggest NOT putting huge $$$ into either. As one answer alludes to, CURB APPEAL and cosmetics may help, but it is a mobile. To make major improvements or upgrades will never get you, your money back.
Part of the problem is getting financing for mobiles, especially now, with the Real Estate market in a slump, and the fact that it's an election year, and that we are approaching a recession, all contribute.
Certainly you can start small, such as upgrading 10 year old fixtures like sinks etc., Lighting fixtures, carpet, wall color or paneling, door knobs, cabinet handles, making cosmetic, practical improvements to the property, adding or offering in the sale, some small appliances, NEW, or furnishings, etc..
You're obviously "Upside down" in the mobile, but to spend thousands won't get you the 56 K. Whatever your choices in upgrades and improvements you should probably consider them sales points, but not profit increases.
Certainly when it's advertised, be creative, but honest. Play up the 1 acre, no neighbors within earshot, the value of the land, any improvements, even Freshly Painted. Shopping close, JOBS, recreation close, schools, etc. etc. State what the taxes are and adv. that as LOW. Consider Homeowners insurance even checking to help any prospective buyer know they can get Ins. without problems.
Other things such as Plumbing and electric will be things to check and possibly upgrade, NEW washer/dryer, New or repaired Decking, Screenrooms etc. Add a storage building, Pave the drive, even with gravel, create plant beds, Carport or garage, ROOF substance and condition??? The CURB appeal will be the initial HOOK, if anyone is interested.
Having no idea at all what your budget is, if you happened to spend 4K, bringing you up to 60K, you might consider you'll take a loss no matter, but at least be more able to sell, than advertising it AS IS.
Can you afford to RENT it? Hold the mortgage? Offer a Low down?
Steven Wolf
Just my two "sense"
Reply:It isn't clear whether you are talking about selling the mobile only or the land as well. You can't do a lot about the value of the land, usually. You also don't say how much the place is currently valued at, so we have no idea how much added value you're looking for. Whether you really get your money back when you do improvements depends on what you do, and how you do it. A major improvement such as a new kitchen will certainly get you a higher selling price, but it's unlikely to get you back more than you spent on it. It's like a car; if you have a $2,000 car and get $1,000 worth of repairs done on it, it doesn't mean you now have a $3,000 car, you probably have a $2400 car. If you do the work yourself, then you will effectively pay yourself for your labour when you sell. Think about projects low in materials costs but with your own labour used, such as painting. Clean and tidy the heck out of house and yard, that always helps and could be worth a 1000 or 2 at selling time, depending.
Kind of wish we had your real estate prices where I live. I've got an 18-year old mobile on 3 acres, it cost $250,000 almost 2 years ago and has gone up since which is nice but I'd rather have paid less to start with.
Reply:land scap curb appeal . focus on the Kitchen ,if the new buyer the wife doe not like the kitchen or the master bed room and bath, they won't buy no matter what the price is.
remember a fresh coat of paint on all walls is a pluss. No wild colors just a clean look , a pallate for the new owners to work with
Reply:Steven has given a very good synopsis of the situation.
Personally, I have always been against purchasing a pre-manufactured or Mobile home because of it's continual depreciation. It's like buying an expensive car. You can never re sell it for what you have invested. As a matter of fact, here in Georgia, a problem with disposing of unwanted mobil homes is developing. No one knows what to do with them.
Basically, it's like paying rent. If you are not concerned about building equity, that's your choice.
But, that's not solving your problem. My advise to you is to sell it for whatever you can, take that money and run! I hope you will learn from the lesson and buy a nice stick built home that builds equity.
Reply:I agree with Steven. Any money you stick in the property will get you very little in return. I would make it as attractive as possible. Plant some flowers and clean the place up real nice. Talk to a few successful real estate companies in your area who handle mobile homes. See what they have to say. Tell them what you need to get out from under it and go from there. Good luck.

Talk to a few successful real estate companies in your area who handle mobile homes. See what they have to say. Tell them what you need to get out from under it and go from there. Good luck.
Mobile Phones?
Hi was just wondering i want to buy a mobile phone for someone in USA, but not sure what to look for on ebay as i don't think phones from Australia work over there, can anyone help
Mobile Phones?
you can order anything on ebay and let them deliver it to USA and the payment will be in Australia like as if you are sending/ordering it as a gift. i think if it's purchased online, then the phone is unlock. to get signal/transmission, the receiver has to register that phone in USA.

Mobile phone - Prepaid Credit VS Plans/Cap Plans?
I'm a return full-time university student, therefore i will be unemployed/or have minimal income.
My mobile phone plan has expired and am considering which would be suitable for me?
Which offers a better deal? A pre-paid credit or a plan/cap plan?
Thanks in advance!
Mobile phone - Prepaid Credit VS Plans/Cap Plans?
Hello Maria, I think, if you think that you're out of budget for your cellphone bill, don't use a plan...just a pre-paid.
It's just a matter of self control regarding expenses.
I'm jobless now for 3 months and I'm also using a plan for my cellphone but I cut it out. I cancelled my plan and use prepaid. It works, I don't have to worry for my monthly bills.
If there are important people you would like to call, just use a landline phone and call them.
I hope it will work for you too...have a nice day.
Reply:depends on how much u talk or text on ur phone. if u dont talk that much then i say prepaid if u do a lot of talking then it just might be cheaper to get a plan. or if u have metro PCS where u live u might look into that because it gives u unlimited talking and texting for like $45/month.
