    Subsidy Question
    I broke my cell phone AGAIN:mad:


    As most of you know my daughter and I are involved in the rescue of abandoned and neglected animals, between the equine rescue and the guinea pigs, it is double LL on our cell phones, the other day while working with a horse my cell phone popped out of my shirt hit the ground and I cracked the LCD screen,:eek: now I have a wonderful rainbow effect. One of my friends gave me a Motorola Razor phone, it said AT&T on it but had been used on a cingular service. I put my sim card in it and it said subsidy password needed. I called cingular, cingular said call Motorola, Motorola said call AT&T. When you call AT&T it switches you back to cingular because cingular bought AT&T. now what do you do. EBAY has a site where you sent the cell phone a way to unlock it, another site makes you pay on line, and then they will tell you a location to go to, to get it fixed. That is scary if you asked me. All I want is the code for a V505 Razor. It is sad, can some one help me?:confused:

    Sorry about the phone
    Sorry about the phone, I had a similar issue ( different brands) and I took it to my local store, re-newed my contract ( salesman made a little money) and he went to the back and came out and the phone worked.

    Now do you are really resure Guinny Pigs, are there really there many out there neediong to be saved and where do you find them.

    I just have never heard of this before

    As far as I know you can't always just pop a SIM card in another phone and have it work. Some phones will only take certain Sims.

    You might try looking for a replacement screen here:

    I've bought from this site several times and been satisfied with the results. Their prices are great.

    Yes I do save guinea pig and Horses too, right now 1579 so far because of Have-a-Heart and its rescuers. Most piggies are saved from local animal shelters where they are in danger of being euthanized. Others are turned in from their owners because they no longer want them. And other are just abandoned. We took in 62 piggies in December, some one dumped 119 of them behind a church in Baltimore Maryland. The poor guy thought it was a Christmas donation when he opens the box it was guinea pig. It is sad what we do to the things that depend on us the most. If you would like to look atHave-a-Heart orH.P. Precision Rebuilding Center which is the equine rescue they are here for the peeking. H.P. Precision Rebuilding Center has not been updated in a long time because the lady that was doing it for us left and we can not update her page, but you can get and idea about how we work and it Christian backing H.P. actually stands for His perfect Precision
