525640 2007-02-19 00:59:00 Hi all

I have upgraded my old Nokia cellphone to a new Samsung one.

Anyway - the Nokia was on prepay and I have my Samsung one on prepay also. I have the same number and had everything transferred from my old phone to my new one.

As a result I have a working Nokia cellphone, with good battery, wall charger and car charger (and manual) here which is no good to me.

Can somebody else go into a Telecom store with my old phone and have it hooked up onto prepay or onto a plan? Just trying to decide whether I should flick it off or give it to a family member if this can be done.

Cheers.

525641 2007-02-19 02:08:00 Is it 025 or 027.

525642 2007-02-19 02:23:00 I've been wondering that too. My father has given me his old phone which is gathering dust in my room. bob_doe_nz (92)
525643 2007-02-19 03:40:00 If it's 027, there shouldn't be a problem. 025 is just junk now... johcar (6283)
525644 2007-02-19 04:19:00 It was 027. That number has been transferred to my new phone so technically it doesn't have a number now. Tukapa (62)

025 is not junk yet, the network is being switched off on March 31st. My Nokia 5120 is still going strong; and I am holding out on Telecom until they offer a decent replacement 027 mobile.

Presently they are offering a Nokia 2118 for $79!

Perhaps I should make an offer on that phone of yours Tukapa?

525646 2007-02-19 08:59:00 Sorry - when I said 025 was junk, I was referring to their resaleability with the Great Impending Switchoff and their current reconnectability with Telecom (nil, for some time now).

Good luck on getting a good replacement for your 025 - the lower end of Telecom phones doesn't have a big range of good ones...

I'm gonna chuck it on TradeMe for $50 reserve - if you are interested drop me a PM here otherwise I will chuck it on in a day or so. Just wanted to make sure first that it could be used by someone else - don't wanna rip anyone off.

Cheers.
