Giveaway: My iPhone 3GS
I’ve had a blast with my new iPhone 4 which means that I’m “stuck” with an unused iPhone 3GS, which is in great condition.
Instead of selling it to someone for a few bucks my team thought it would be a great idea to give it away to someone in need.
I agree.
Here are the deets:
To Enter…
Drop a comment below telling us about someone that really needs an upgrade on their personal cell phone. This could be someone who’s got an old Nokia from the late 90′s or someone who’s recently lost their phone or damaged it but is unable to afford a replacement.
If you send us a video comment, even better…!
Our hope is to provide a handset for someone that seriously has a need instead of someone who’s just wanting to upgrade for upgrades’ sake.
Hit us up!
Buzz it!

If I win the phone I’ll give it to my buddy who has the worst luck with phones ever! That luck had changed once he bought his first iPhone, the 3G. He had it for a full year, which happens to be a record for him, before it pooped out on him and the touch screen stopped working. He was able to upgrade to a new 3GS a few months ago and it worked great until he went to Disneyland. Splash Mountain decided to dump a bucket of water into his pants pocket and into his 3GS. The back light on the screen stopped working after that. He took it to a repair shop that quoted him over $300 to fix it, which he said no thanks to. When he got it back the screen didn’t work at all. Of course the shop said that’s how it was when they got it…shady! So now he is stuck using his old Nokia brick that has the game “snake” on it and hardly does text messaging. He is a youth leader and small business owner who really needs another iPhone for work but can’t afford to buy one until he’s able to upgrade in a year. He’s a cool dude. I wanna win the phone for him!
I would be a great choice to give your 3GS a home – find out why here:

Cuz we need some cool gadgets over here in Maun, Botswana! Somethin to play some good tunes, access the internet and connect us to the rest of the world! Its worth a shot!? Been here for 23 years and the world keeps on gettin better all the time as we plug away day by day-year after year to try and help people be all they can be!
Thanks for the heart behind the gadget! Jana
It would well used by my mom.
She is a part time connections secretary at our home church. A few weeks ago her purse and another ladys purse were stolen. My mom does alot of volunteer work throughout our church and being able to consistently connected to her email allows her to continue doing what she loves to do. With that my mom is very fruggle with get money and cannot afford the 700 it would cost to get another iPhone like the one she had stolen. My mom loves to help others and would definately benefit from this giveaway. Thanks so much for reading this.
I’d love this for my wife, who inherited my 2g iPhone that I dropped two weeks before she got it, partially obscuring the earphone port. She had the money to get a new one but chose to use that to pilot a program to teach children the value of money (and how important it is not be in debt) at our church in conjunction with Financial Peace University at we are now helping to facilitate.
I would absolutely love an iPhone…I’m a missionary who is currently on furlough working in the school district teaching little kiddos until heading back out on the field. My phone is an older run-down sprint phone that keeps going on roam if it’s on for too long and has to be restarted/turned off&on often. Also, it would not work well overseas so an upgrade would be absolutely amazing! Either way, this is an awesome thing you’re doing! love it and am sure whoever will be blessed immensely!
i “nominate” dan reeves… a missionary wit his wife in cyprus (http://cyprusjourney.wordpress.com/ // http://twitter.com/danreeves) … the man could use an upgrade for his old-school “brick” nokia!

Hi John
My name is Nick, I’m a Chinese. I am a CCC staff. My old phone was broken. I really need another one in my work. I really want this phone if it is possible. I think it will be very useful for my work.
thanks!
Nick
Hi, My name is Nick, I graduated from Tibet University. I accepted Jesus as my personal Lord while I was a sophomore in college. God has called me to follow him and to share the gospel to the nations. I have served in the Southwest Minority University and other universities. God used my experience to let me know and reach some unreached people groups. (About UPG: http://www.joshuaproject.net) .Currently, God is leading me join the ministry to reach those Unreached People Groups.
My cell phone was broken in past month. I was intend to buy another one or get a gift from others. there are too much troubles on communication after my phone broken. if you I win this iphone, I can do better on my ministry and use GPS to reach more UPG. And there are some friends in US can bring it to me if i win it.
thanks!
Nick
my Nokia is falling apart, I will never be able to afford an iPhone, not in the immediate future at least.
but I would seriously love one.
P.S. if by some luck I win, there are peeps coming from NP to South Africa for Married Life Live
sweet
much like many of the other commenters, it would be for my wife.
My wife does an amazing job corralling our 4 kids. Two of those are our 3 yr old twins…that’s says enough right there. But also add in that our 7 yr old has type 1 diabetes and my wife does an amazing job of managing that all day long… let’s just say, my wife has her hands full. so anything that can make her life easier (such as an iPhone!) is always a good thing!
Could use one because my last phone died of some screen failure (Nokia 3600) now i’m stuck with my old one (Nokia 3210) and my country doesn’t really provide iphones and prolly never will so it would be nice to actually get my hands on it someday.
Thank you and good luck to the other competitors.
