Hi, all. I've never bought or sold a used cell phone, so I don't know what's required to connect to a new or existing service. Because of this, I don't know how to advertise what I'm selling.
Here's what I've got:
>>a blue Nokia 8260 in good (but not perfect) cosmetic condition
>>a battery that holds a charge (though I'm not sure for how long)
>>a standard charger cord (not a car charger)
>>a protective leather (I think) and plastic jacket (made so you can use the phone while it's in the jacket)
>>an earphone and mic device (where the mic hangs down by your chin)
Now, I think I also have some kind of identification card or chip. There's a slide-off cover (separate from the battery cover) I can't seem to undo where I assume it's housed. Some questions...
1) Should I have that removed for privacy and/or security purposes?
...or...
2) Should I make sure it's there so I can advertise it as included? In other words, is it something a buyer would need or find useful?
Also, and perhaps most importantly: What services can this phone be used with? It's been so long that I don't even remember the service I originally used (though I think it might have been AT&T). Or would this phone work with any service from Verizon to Cingular to anything else? How do I find out?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks a bunch!
