Don't even THINK about shipping used cell phones abroad!

The GSM phones in North America operate at 1900mhz, and most GSM phones elsewhere operate at 900/1800mhz.

I can get surplus cell phones here for as little as $1, the problem is that many US models are not compatible with intl standards.

You silly goose, I'm trying to give you a used Nokia 6190! But it is not tri-mode, and will only work in North America.

D'oh! I'll accept the offer then. :)
