Buying a mobile phone/ anyone been to Seychelles?

I would like to first of all wish everybody a Happy New Year.
I decided to buy myself a new mobile phone this year, considering mine is a bit old. A person’s mobile phone tells a lot about a person. So I do not want to feel uncool by having a huge,cheap & old mobile phone, thus came the necesity for buying myself a new, small, slick one.
However I live in the Seychelles. It’s a really small island, far from everything. We do have shops that sell mobile phone, but usually they consists of outdated models. The new ones are scooped up as soon as they reach the store. These new ones are also really expensive so as to cover the cost of bringing them to the Seychelles. It’s much more cheaper for me to buy them overseas. Therefore I decided to check the internet for prices of the newest models, but could not find any. At the website of the manufacturer of the mobile phones, they never give the price. At online shops, the price of the phones are never given. What they do give are packages!
my question is…does anybody know a good website where I can buy a phone without any special packages??

p.s. Any one of you guys been to the seychelles?? How did you find it??

First, make sure you know what technology is used on your island. Then, determine which phones work with that technology.

Then, I’d recommend eBay - you can get a used phone for cheaper than a new one. The only trick: Make sure the phone you get is not locked to some service provider in the US or Europe.

Good luck…
