AT&T Wireless is offering several refurbished GoPhone Pay As You Go phones for as low as
$8 (based on ZIP code) with free shipping. No annual contract required. The pictured Nokia 2610 GoPhone is $10 with free shipping, and includes most goodies you'd want in a phone.
Sony Ericsson Z750a GoPhone (Pay As You Go) = $60
LG CG180 - GoPhone (Pay As You Go) phone $33 - $25 rebate = $8
Samsung A117 - GoPhone (Pay As You Go) $55 - $20 rebate = $35
Tempting for the Sony Ericsson Z750a but they only have purple and pink left... I guess a case would work.
Regardless, can't find an easy way to unlock.
Need a cheap phone for use in Australia/Canada over the next 15 months. Any ideas?
Australopithecus would love a purple or pink phone, if she didn't have one already.
also tempted by the z750a.. even though the 580i seems sexier.
Battery consumption on the z750a worries me..

No. 1, you might want to keep an eye on the T-Mobile site, as they regularly have deals on quad-band phones and will offer more help with unlocking them than you'd get from AT&T. Also, the T-Mo phones are new - as opposed to the refurbs that AT&T is pushing. Currently, they have a Motorola v195 (actually, a v195s, which is a better phone) available for $30, but if you wait a bit they regularly sell it with a $25 airtime card for the same price. You can see what else is available here:

And you can get word of sales by checking d*e*a*l*news.com - after removing the asterisks, of course.

The comments so far have given me an insight into the deal .. thanks Ben!
i just got a117 at worst buy for $10. it was $20 regular, still better than walmart $38, but turned out to be even a better deal. brand new, not refurbished. these are very good as a backup. not for everyday use.
