Without all the boring details I need to get a cellphone. I have never had one, my wife did and I used it once in a while, but know very little about them. I only want it to be able to be contacted, and as long as I am getting one would like to be able to bet online thru it. Will not be using many minutes, don't ever plan to text. So do most offshores have a betting app. Right now am using 5 dimes, betdsi, ezstreet and SIA. Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

get an android based cell phone.. they have 100s of them at every carrier known.. and you wont need a mobile app or any of that because you can surf every website just like you are at your home computer :toast:

You know this is bad advice Murph for someone who has never had a smart phone.

ok get one of the droids with a pullout keyboard still in case you can't get used to touch screen

honestly reverting him to the stoneage is something I just can't do... if that is the case just get an obama phone puff_>>

thanks for the replies, so I'm guessing then that there is no real way to bet online thru a phone without having an expensive monthly plan?

lol murph its funny that I forgot totally about that, have not called in for a long time. So I assume a prepaid phone is not capable of bringing up the sites thru the internet.

that is the part I don't understand, I know a prepaid can supposedly go online, but yet is not capable of putting in bets online.

yea bud.. I was just teasin ya a bit :)

of course they have packages (airtime/web/etc) you can buy for the prepaid cards and what not that include web.. think 1mb of data equivalents to 1 min of talk time or something.. but dont quote me on it. (recommend going into one of those cell places and just ask all the stuff you wanna know and they will surely help ya out :) ...just say you wanna use google or some other websites instead of 5dimes and pinnacle.. LOL )

another options is get a nicer phone or someones old android and then use free wifi where you are to use internet and even be able to talk on phone with some apps for free.

was told by a guy who runs a best buy store that handles only cellphones that I could probably make a prepaid work if the online book had an app to use. Problem is I don't want to buy a cheaper cell and then find out it doesn't work for me

The guy at the best buy lied to you.
If the sportsbook has a website you can bet on your phone. No apps needed
Never listen to the geek squad.
Had one person tell me that if I did not buy a 3d tv I would not be able to watch the superbowl because the superbowl was only going to be in 3D.

hmm.. most books dont have "apps"
they have mobile sites.. or they just have regular site and u can view and bet it as normal

I would suggest getting a lil better phone than the most basic.. that way if u have internet access u can pull up any site you want no matter if the book has a mobile site or not :)

Yes you are going to have to pay a monthly fee to access the internet...Some companies to have an all in 1 package where ur internet, textz and phone charges are all 1 flat monthly rate but no phone that accesses the internet does so for free..
