Dump it and get a new version when you get where you are going.
It will all be changed by then anyway.

depends on how good ur cell phone is.

Anyway, if you just bought a cheap pay as u go type phone, dont even bother... |

what country will you be going home to? this is important because u'll have to check and see if your phone supports the bands that your carriers use...
if its a gsm phone, then you'll most likely be able to unlock and use it. if its a cdma phone, 95% chance your out of luck. so just sell it. |

| Have you decided on anything yet? I'm looking to take over the contract and phone of someone who's leaving. PM me if you're interested. |
