JDWTopGuy's Journal: I got a cell phone

I'm now the prowd owner of a locked (onto Cingular) Nokia 5165. Note that it's GSM and Cingular is switching away from GSM, so I can't use it with Cingular.

Not that I even talk on the phone.

I should figure out a way to make it ring so that I can use it as an excuse to ignore people I don't want to talk to.

Any suggestions on what to do with a cell phone with no service?

Wear it on a clip, hanging off your belt, so that it's visible. It will make you look more important than you really are. :)

(I carry my cell phone concealed in a pocket... I don't use it much, but it's a lifesaver when I need it)

Two problems:
1. I don't have a clip, which means I'd have to buy one.
2. It's quite cold around here, so I'm wearing a big coat... can't see anything clipped to a belt that way. Of course I can do that when the weather warms up.

Maybe I could get a string and hang it around my neck or something.... nahh, too dorky.

I will have to figure some way to show it off, otherwise it's pretty much useless. :P

Why not unlock it

And sell it on ebay for easy profit?

I'd probably have to buy a data cable. I can't even get *#06# to work.
