Well, actually, you can have it for free - but there's a slight catch.. you have to pay the final month's phone bill, which is only something like 20K (definitely no more than 30K). I am getting rid of it for a friend who has just left to head back to New Zealand. He is not worried about it not selling for much, as long as it covers its last phone bill.

Here are the specs:

LG Anycall SPH-S4850 camera phone.
1 year old (less than a year old, contract started on 27th August, 2007)

It comes with:

A phone charger
A Data Cable for PC
Original Earphones
Manual in Korean..

Anyway, if anyone is interested, PM me.

It is NOT a pre-paid phone. It is a monthly billing one. I can help you set one up if you need it. I live in Daejeon, btw.

If they are leaving, then why are they worrying about paying the bill? Why not just leave? If the contract is good till Aug 2008, then the new owner would have to sign a new contract or extend if possible. I think what they do is transfer the account to the new owner.

Why would they do that with a used one and pay a final bill when they could just get a new phone and not pay a bill?

I don't see the point with this offer (then again, I am having a bad day so possibly I overlooked something).

*shrug*.. I don't know.

All I know is if you wanna get a new phone and join a provider, you need to pay 30K joining fee. If you want a crappy phone, then sure, it's free. This phone isn't half bad and when the guy got it, he paid 20K for it. So if you want to get a relatively decent phone and joining fee, you are talking about 50K. This also isn't a prepaid phone.. it's billed monthly, saving you the hassle of needing to charge it up or worry that you aren't going to have enough credit for a longer phone call. If you do direct-debit, you don't need to go get it paid, either!

Someone's already asked about it.. but if anyone else is interested, feel free to PM me.

I never paid a joining fee. My first bill was 11,000 won. I paid it in person, and they took my bank account info. So, when they went to take money out, I overpaid. I have 11,000 won credit and only gave out 22,000 so far. I will get my second bill this week or next.
