It is no longer available through Cingular. It's been discontinued. You can still buy it on an auction site or on an authorized retailer site or store. But you probably won't get the awesome discount.

I always have liked Motorola Razr BUT so far with this unlocked phone (using ATT/Cingular) I have not been able to receive any pictures sent to me. Is anyone else having the same trouble? I have a data plan and yet it says Network Not Available even though I know I am near a network tower.

I called the Support line, they have no idea when they're going to get their shipment of the GT Wifi. If this was a Samsung trick to sell more 3G tabs, it doesn't make sense that they would be available at other stores. I'm sending a message to Amazon: Make sure you hound your suppliers to ensure you have a product at its launch date. I'm "voting with my dollars". Amazon just earned Tigerdirect.com $350.

You should be able to take the ad at face-value. In other words, if it says its the Verizon version, it probably is. If you're still worried, take a screenshot of the ad and buy the phone. If its the wrong version, you should get a full refund, and I'm confident Amazon would support you. PS I love my Trance, I've had it many years, have replaced it 3 times with the same phone and will use it as long as I can replace the ones I break/drop/submerge or otherwise abuse :)

Jessica, Absolutely Do Not Buy this Phone! or any other phone on Amazon unless it is Brand New! & Directly from the Cell Phone company. I have gotten Ripped Off Big Time here! I bought this exact phone & it is said "Excellent - Condition Used" What I got was a an EXCELLENT FAKE/COUNTERFEIT/STOLEN/BROKEN Phone (Thinking I won't say anything)- I have no idea how Amazon or eBay Let's SoonerSoft Electronics sell phones here especially since SoonerSoft has a RipoffReport.com Report! & BBB.org which says exactly what I am saying & they advertise they buy broken phones & even The Boxes to misrepresent the sell to unsuspecting customers Like you & Me. I returned the phone back to SoonerSoft, because they told me to send it to them so they can fix it & Once they recieved it, They Refused to send me back to me. (Probably so I have no Proof & they cannot be Prosecuted) & They Kept the Phone & Did Not Refund Me no matter what- I told Amazon about this & They do not want to do anything about this. I have so many customers emailing me about this phone, I wish I could save every customer customer, If I can I Will! P.S. I want to add here Amazon is a Fantastic Company & 99% of the Time I got wonderfull deals on here - This was the only time I ever got Ripped off here. Thank you so much!

Choose one of Cingular's data plans that fits closest to your usage (all of the plans are fairly pricey). If you only want data service, I know for a fact you can to do so at a Cingular store. It may be possible through Amazon, but I haven't attempted to do so. Beware that Cingular stores currently offer this device for $399.99 w/2 yr agreement, versus Amazon's excellent $199 price.

Did you ever find the answer to this question??? I am trying to upgrade my SECONDARY line & it's forcing me to choose a plan. I still want to stay on the family plan. Can I still purchase this phone as an upgrade? HELP!!!

I am beyond frustrated. I just bought this phone after seeing all the answers here & thinking I could just transfer my current pre-paid plan w/o the data plan. I spoke with a supervisor at Verizon. She said there is NO way this phone can be activated w/o a data plan. Verizon is trying to phase these older models out but if you are willing to pay a minimum of $50/mo for the data plan, you can activate it. She said any plan w/o a data plan will not be supported on this phone & she tried numerous ways to get around that to no avail. I don't know that I would have better luck taking it to a Verizon store. Sounded pretty hopeless. Any comments or tips anyone? I am beyond frustrated.

Thank you VERY MUCH...So let me see if I completely understand this:1) I buy an unlocked phone2) I take the card out of my sprint phone, and put it into the unlocked phone.3) the new unlocked phone WORKS.Is that correct?Are there services that will NOT work when I do things this way? For instance, this phone can browse the internet, and act as a modem. Do I lose those services (or others) if I buy the phone unlocked and use it on Sprint?Thank you again, I really appreciate your time.Dmitri

Dc urbanite said he was able to use this phone on consumer cellular service, I have not been able to get internet working on the service even with consumer cellular help when not on my wifi network. The phone works, but not mobile internet. If anyone has been able to get the the Internet working I would love to know how!

Hope you got your phone. usually as this question to a seller specific. These questions are general for the product not about shipping. Each seller has different shipping times. Sorry for late response. I do not work for amazon. I am just selling a phone on here ;)

This isn't Amazon directly selling it for $330. It is a Amazon marketplace seller (Toyzz) listing it at $330, which is incredibly overpriced. This phone appears to be either discontinuing or production issues. Amazon hasn't had much stock whenever they list it directly. BTW, I have two of these phones and love them.

Rumour has it that Cingular and Rogers are getting the phone - but they do a lot of testing and they probably won't have it for another few months. Even if they do release it, then you will have to sign a long contract and still pay a few hundered dollars. Many people, including myself, are more than willing to pay an extra bit to get the phone unlocked and unbranded.

As of today (7/17/13) LG customer support tells me, with a measure of vagueness, that they are "concluding a contract with Amazon to provide connectivity to more LG players, and a software update will be coming out mid-July." By my lights, it IS the middle of July. This sounds like BS to me. LG agent was vague about recognizing my particular unit (label on back reads "LG BD572 Aug 2010", clear as day). Amazon customer support agent, equipped with same HW information, attempted to talk me through the process, took me down the exact-same avenues I'd already explored, arrived at the identical impasse I'd arrived at: inability to get LG device to cough-up a five-digit "access code". Do any of these bozos know what they are talking about, re the HW/SW products they are taking our perfectly-good money for????

I bought it for that reason and NO you can't. I confused me & I wish I had asked first. I bought it for my Dad because he lost his phone. We couldn't use it. They(Verizon) he could use it 60 days after their plan ended if he wanted a pre-paid option. Its still in the box!

I talked to Amazon.com customer service. The rep had to ask around to a few people, but it appears that it's okay to port a number from a different carrier. However, that number may not be a Cingular number. I would suggest that you also check with customer service to make sure you get the same answer. If so, it seems that they need to clarify the rules.
