Cell Phone for a friend...

I need a little help. I have a friend that lives in Bogota. I want to buy her a Nokia 7373 (the pink one...lol) cell phone. I have had no luck at purchasing one online from one of the sites listed on here. I have tried to buy something from "the Colombian e-bay" and was not happy with the modes of payment. Anyway, I can not find the phone on any of the online sites that are listed on here in posts. I would really like to buy one online and have shipped there. Preferably a Colombian location, but if I continue to have no luck with that, could I purchase an unlocked phone here, US, and take with me down there in a couple of weeks and it function properly. Thanks for your help and any suggestions.

I agree with webmanco. The easiest thing is to Buy it here and then set it up in colombia.

Why not just buy one off of ebay? I did a search and there are 48 unlocked ones on there right now. It is a pricey phone however, about 200 dollars. Would cost you more than that for sure in Colombia....

a side order request here; since so many people here are from Canada....what other numbers must one dial, to dial from the USA to a cell phone in Canada? at least I think it's a cell phone. maybe include landline too, just in case I am wrong.

Thanks.

Calling Canada from the United

1 - country code for Canada
area code - 3 digit area codes
phone number - 7 digit numbers
US to Canada dialing format : 1 ??? ??? ????
this country is part of the North American Numbering Plan - NANP, therefore it is not necessary to dial the 011 exit code required for international calls

Thanks for the information. If you buy a phone for Colombia, make sure it operates on 850mHz. I noticed that only phones that operate on that frequency work in Colombia. I noticed right BEFORE I pushed the BUY NOW button on a phone I was going to buy on E-Bay.

Thank you.....Goodnite Now!

The network will depend on which service you're using. Here's a thread about this. The information is correct. For Tigo you need 1900.
