John’s Phone: $113.30 (79.99)

Phones today are far from simple, they can play music, give directions, track your loved ones — sometimes it can be too much. There was a time, not too long ago, when the only thing people used cell phones for was to make calls. While it’s impossible to go back in time, there is a way to go back to simple. John Doe Amsterdam designed the simply named John’s Phone to only make calls — no text messaging, no pictures, just calls.

Braveheart Awards

WAREHAM – The community is encouraged to participate in a ceremony to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks during the Second Annual Braveheart Awards held at Wareham Crossing from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17. The special ceremony will be a small part of Wareham Crossing’s signature Braveheart Awards event. A small parade led by Wareham Ford vehicles, military personnel, rider-less horses and children will kick off the event at 11 a.m.

The Braveheart Awards’ mission is to honor everyday heroes who have shown courage and compassion, bravely defying the odds to make a difference in other people’s lives. These heroes have been nominated by their families, co-workers and friends and will be honored during the event to thank them for their service to community and country. Last year’s winners included U.S. Senator Scott Brown, local New Bedford teacher Warley Williams and “the thermometer man,” Richard T. Porter.

The event is also a large-scale collection drive for items for our overseas military to be put in holiday care packages by Cape Cod Cares for Our Troops, a local nonprofit organization started in 2005 by then 12-year-old Dylan DeSilva. Last year, Dylan received a Braveheart Award for his work sending more than 10,000 care packages to our members of the military fighting overseas.

Wareham Crossing shoppers are encouraged to participate by bringing or purchasing items from participating merchants such as socks, T-shirts and other much needed items to be sent to the troops. The collection drive will begin Sept. 10 and conclude on the day of the Braveheart event. Participating retailers include Lowe’s (collecting bug spray, duct tape), L.L. Bean (collecting lip balm), J.C. Penney (collecting white socks, underwear, undershirts), T.J. Maxx (collecting white socks), Old Navy (collecting white socks), Michaels (collecting white socks), and Red Robin (special toiletry bags available for purchase). Lindt, Qdoba, Red Robin and Elements Gym will also be drop-off locations for all items. Wareham Ford will be an offsite collection location for the donation drive. They are located at 2628 Cranberry Highway.

Members of the community are also asked to donate their used cell phones through Cell Phones for Soldiers. Cell Phones for Soldiers was started in 2004 by two teenagers from Norwell and have since collected more than 7.5 million cell phones and provided military personnel with more than 90 million minutes of pre-paid calling cards. Wareham Crossing shoppers can donate used cell phones and phone cards to ATT, Best Buy, Così, Verizon and J.C. Penney.

The celebration is a family friendly event filled with free activities for adults and children. An exciting concert by the popular band, ENTRAIN, will take place from noon to 2 p.m. Many other activities throughout the day include J.C. Penney raffle of a signed Tom Brady Patriots football; host, WAAF’s Greg Hill from the Hill-Man Morning Show; free samples from Qdoba, Pepsi and Lindt Chocolates; Army vehicles including a Black Hawk helicopter that people will be able to tour; horse-drawn wagons; artistic face painting by Art on the Spot; Marion Heath Greeting Cards will host a “Send a Card to a Soldier” table; Air Force XBox games; fun photo booth; free giveaways; kids arts and crafts.

Each cell phone provides one hour of free phone conversation for a member of the armed forces.

At Calfee Funeral Home alone more than 15,000 minutes for troops have been raised in two years.

Cell Phones for Soldiers: www.cellphonesforsoldiers.com

Everyday the consumer market is witnessing the launch of a new electronic product and it has become very convenient for handset users who can easily come across used cell phones for sale. Cell phone is one such product which is supplied by innumerable manufacturers and they are always on their toes to offer new and useful features to their clients. What does it mean for users? It means that the handset you purchased three months back is no longer attractive and you want the smartphone that has hit the market last week. This is why used cell phones for sale are in high demand.

Why used cell phones : Consumer behavior is responsible for available used cell phones which are still in well working condition. So, if you are looking for an affordable handset that sports a dashing look and offers features useful to you, you can opt for used cell phones. While some of the handsets owners dump their old phones and forget about it, some prefer to sell them back either to the retailer or to the junk house. If you are looking for used cell phones for sale, chances are that you will spend a paltry amount and get a handset which complements your daily activity.

What you can have : If you are eager to buy a high-end phone such as BlackBerry etc, you will be surprised to find that BlackBerry R series phones are available at around $60 only. If you can afford a little more you get even better sets. Online stores having long inventory of used cell phones for sale are many and they are reliable as well. They provide their clients useful details about the phones’ make, model, year of purchase (by the first owner), and features. In fact, there is no reason to worry as you will be paying exactly for the device you get. Even if you are looking for sets with android, you wouldn’t find it hard to get a store that showcases android-based used cell phones for sale. In addition, if you are concerned about the telecom service brand, you have options for choosing among Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and other carriers.

But if you are determined about approaching a retailer who offers used cell phones for sale, you must be careful about certain factors.

If the original owner has used the phone for more than three years, it will be wiser not to buy it. Though some electronic devices work for ten years or so, no one can be sure how long a smartphone will work in the hands of a second owner.

You should also enquire about the features of the sets. Some applications in the high-end phones require a download fee. So, if a used handset comes with already downloaded apps, you should buy it.

Make sure that the phone has the original casing and design. Buying a refurbished phone can be a waste of money as they can be older than what the retailer says.

So, be careful and check well before buying used cell phones for sale.
