At home we have been going through our boxes of collected “stuff” and getting rid of things we don’t need, and we’ve unearthed a rather large collection of previously used cell phones that are in perfectly good working condition. If anyone wants/needs a cell phone (to use as a spare, to give to a child, etc.) here is what I’ve got—it’s yours, for free. (Anything that I can’t give away I’ll donate to a women’s shelter or something, but I figured I’d see if anyone could use any of these first)… the links are just to whatever I could find about the phone on the internet—some are reviews, some are ebay listings, whatever I could find, just so you could see the phones: [ul] [li] **AT&T:** Blue Motorola T720G; AC charger ([link](http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=101))[/li][li] **Virgin Mobile:** Kyocera KX9D-125; AC charger ([link](http://compare.ebay.com/like/200752132995?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar))[/li][li] **Verizon Wireless:** [LIST][/li][li]LG VX7000; USB charger; car charger; extra battery ([link](http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=430))[/li][li]LG VX7000; AC charger; car charger ([link](http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=430))[/li][li]LG VX8100; AC charger; 1GB miniSD card ([link](http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=665))[/li][li][del]LG VX8300; AC charger, USB charger, takes a microSD card but doesn’t come with one. ([link](http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=905))[/del] [TAKEN][/li][/ul] [/LIST] I also have several car chargers that are [_ **mini** _USB on the other end (_ **not** _ _micro_USB like all the new smartphones use](http://www.thebluedot.net/blog/2010/01/20/mini-usb-vs-micro-usb-tutorial/)—sorry). I think some bluetooth headsets also use this type of charger, but I’m not sure. Other \*\*chargers \*\*I have, in case you have the phone they go to: LG VX8500 AC charger LG VX8300 USB charger LG VX6100/VX8300 car charger LG VX8350/8500/8600/8700/9400/9900/5400 car charger LG VX6100 SH car charger LG VS6100 (? I think?) car charger If you could use any of this stuff, let me know. I’ll keep it around for a little while before donating it. I’ll give it to you for free if you pay for the cost of sending it to you; which is the cost of a bubble mailer\* plus print-at-home First Class USPS shipping (cheaper than getting the postage at the post office). I’m not going to add any kind of “handling” or anything, I will just tell you what it’s going to cost me to get the phone to you, and if you cover that, the phone will magically arrive at your doorstep. \*If it fits in a 4"x8" one, I have some of those on hand. Let’s call it 50¢? I don’t remember what they cost. If it doesn’t fit in that I will find out how much the envelope costs and let you know. (I also have an original Motorola Droid [A855], rooted, that I was planning on listing on Ebay or Craigslist. If anyone is interested in knowing about that just email or PM me.) ---

I call dibs on that AT&T phone until further notice. I have a friend who’s in need of a replacement. I’m awaiting her reply to see if she does in fact still need a new phone. ---

I formally retract my call of “dibs”. My friend already has a suitable replacement phone. ---

Welcome to the board, **sjb99**. I’m sad to report that **OpalCat** died a few months ago, so you can’t get the charger that way. I’m closing this thread.
