Of course, ebay would likely be cheaper but through Cingular's site you get a warranty I think. Watch for the cheaper prices on the same phones on cingular.com/gophone though - those would be reconditioned models. |
You can also buy T-mobile-To-Go prepaid phones as well, but you'll have to unlock them before using them with Cingular. You would also need to make sure you get phones with 850/1900 bands (most domestic dual/tri-bands and all quad-bands).
You can also try contacting Cingular's CS to see how much it is to upgrade your phone. You'll probably have to extend your existing contract (unless you purchase the phone full price), but you shouldn't be forced to change it (unless you are an old AT&T Wireless customer still on a grandfathered plan).
