Firefly Mobile Phone, Cheap!

My daughter broke her phone charger and I picked up a Firefly branded phone like the one above for $10 at a going out of business Ritz Camera store. It was not branded and none of the labeling or anything said it was an AT&T or Cingular phone. You are supposed to use the prepaid SIM that comes with it.

The good news is it worked with her AT&T contract (not prepaid) SIM without having to be unlocked.

So if you parents need a cheap kid friendly phone, it may be worth a shot to buy an old Prepaid firefly and use your AT&T/Cingular SIM in it.

Your mileage may vary.
