How to Get a Quad Band World Phone for Only $15 !
In this video, I show you how to unlock a Samsung A157 cheapie cell phone that you can pick up almost anywhere for $15. (Don't be intimidated by the word "unlock", you are simply going to enter 6 digits that I give you into the phone, and it will be "unlocked".
It turns out that once unlocked, the Samsung A157 is the cheapest quad band GSM phone that you can buy! I picked one up a couple of weeks ago to use on an upcoming vacation to Thailand. All I have to do is buy a Thai SIM card when I arrive and I'll be able to place and receive cell phone calls! The great thing about quad band GSM phones is that you will be able to take this phone ANYWHERE in the world, pop in a local SIM card, and start using it.
The two major GSM carriers here in the US are AT&T and T-mobile. So you can unlock this phone and use it on one of those two networks (or as I said, pretty much anywhere else in the world), however this Samsung A157 phone will NOT work with Sprint/Verizon/Boost Mobile/Metro PCS/etc as they do NOT use GSM radio frequencies.
