A large part of our cellular inventory consists of GSM phones. Some GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) providers include Cingular, Tmobile, AT&T, etc A GSM network differs from a CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) network in several ways, the easiest to distinguish by being that a GSM phone requires a SIM card (which is not included). SIM cards can be obtained from your provider. When purchasing a GSM phone you should take into consideration which bandwidth frequency is available in your area. Please contact your service provider for assistance. The frequency coverage depends on the area and your service provider. GSM cellular phones only run on 4 possible frequencies, 850/900/1800/1900. Quad Band phones can run on all 4 frequencies, Tri Band phones will only work on 3 out of the 4 frequencies, and Dual Band phones will only work on 2 out of the 4 frequencies. 850/1900 are US frequencies, and 900/1800 are international frequencies. The majority of our Tri Band phones are 900/1800/1900 which means they work internationally as well as on a US 1900 frequency (850 frequency will not work). Please check with your provider for details on the frequency in your area prior to placing your order. All phones intended for use with carriers other than GSM networks are marked accordingly. As the majority of phones we offer are international models, and are not assigned to one specific carrier, unless marked otherwise, the GSM phones can be used on any GSM network: Cingular, Tmobile, AT&T, etc However for best service from your cellular phone, the above frequency regulations must be observed. *Cell phones which are marked as unlocked ( being international phones ) are not capable of working on the internet. They are not enabled to browse the internet and will not be able to access it. We also provide you with certain CDMA and IDEN phone models which work with the provider specified ion the item description. All phones intended for use with CDMA and IDEN networks are specifically marked.

Laws & Safety: Scooter laws vary by state and are currently changing, especially as scooters gain popularity across the United Sates. Rather than provide you outdated information, we recommend that you contact the following agencies: Your state legislature to learn what the scooter laws are in your state. Your local legislature to learn what the scooter laws are in your area. (Certain cities have different scooter laws than the state scooter laws.

We will not issue any refunds based on claims of unsatisfactory legal status. SAFETY RULES Gas scooters / pocket bikes are exciting and a whole lot of fun when ridden safely, but they are also motorized high speed racing vehicles. Due to their high speed and design, the rider must take extra care when operating these bikes. Without the proper precautions this activity can be dangerous and serious injury or fatal is possible. Here are some basic safety tips to follow at all times when riding the scooter bikes; Wear Protective Gears: Always wear the proper clothing and pads including; a helmet, elbow pads, knee pads, gloves and shoes. Be sure your protective gear is durable, covers the entire area you wish protected, fits properly and does not interfere with movement, vision or hearing. Helmet: A certified pocket bike helmet is the most important piece of protective gear you can wear. Failure to wear an approved helmet may result in serious injury or death. Helmet certification standards for use with pocket bikes vary from state to state. Check with local authorities to determine the required helmet certification in your area (ANSI, Snell, DOT, etc.) Be sure to always wear the chinstrap securely buckled. Elbow Pads & Knee Pads: Knee pads and elbow pads with hard caps (plastic or otherwise) offer increased protection. Gloves & Shoes Most athletic shoes are good for pocket bike riding. Stay away from wearing sandals and other non-protective footwear. Check Local Laws: The laws are there to help keep you safe. We highly recommend you observe all local pocket bike laws and regulations. Contact your local law enforcement agency or DMV to determine local pocket bike laws and legal places to ride your pocket bike. Pay attention to local helmet laws as well. The helmet certification requirements for pocket bikes may vary depending on where you live. Age Recommendations: Generally speaking, children under 12 should never ride pocket bikes and children ages 13 - 16 should not operate pocket bikes without close adult supervision. However, parents should also and abide by the pocket bike manufacturer's age recommendation and all local laws regarding age restrictions. Stay Off The Streets and Sidewalks: Do not ride your pocket bike on highways, streets, sidewalks, roads, paths, or other areas used by motor vehicles. Not only is doing so illegal, but due to a pocket bikes low profile it also puts the rider at great risk of being hit by a motor vehicle that does not see them. Never Underestimate Your Pocket Bike: Although they are small, most pocket bikes are capable of surprisingly fast speeds. Pocket bikes have an incredible power-to-weight ratio and more power on tap than can be used safely in all situations. It's important to recognize the power your pocket bike is capable of and respect that power when riding. Ride in an Open, Clear Area: Make sure that area where you ride your pocket bike is free of obstructions, debris, pedestrians and other road hazards. Be sure you've got plenty of open space to ride in. Never Ride Your Pocket Bike Off-Road: Pocket bikes are not designed for off-road use. Always ride your pocket bike on smooth, paved, hard surfaces and avoid riding on streets or surfaces with water, ice, mud, sand, gravel, dirt, curbs, cobblestones, grates or other rough or discontinuous surfaces. Avoid Riding Your Pocket Bike in Poor Weather: Never ride your pocket bike under rainy, wet, foggy or icy conditions. Avoid all weather that impairs traction, braking or visibility. The risk of an accident is dramatically increased under poor weather conditions. Do NOT Ride At Night: Only ride your pocket bike during the day or under appropriate lighting. Any condition that limits your visibility should be avoided. Riding at night or at dusk can limit your visibility which will dramatically increase the like-hood of an accident. Get to Know Your Pocket Bike: Read and understand your pocket bikes owner's manual and observe all safety instructions and warning labels. Check the controls. Ride very cautiously until you become familiar with the way the pocket bike handles. Take turns slowly and give yourself extra stopping distance. Maintain Your Pocket Bike: Perform regular maintenance on your pocket bike to reduce the risk of riding mishaps. Before using your pocket bike, riders or parents should check it thoroughly for hazards such as loose, broken or cracked parts, sharp edges on metal boards, slippery top surfaces, wheels with nicks and cracks, loose or missing parts and proper brake function. Avoid Hills: Pocket bikes are not built for use on hills. The added strain can cause motor damage or failure which can lead to a safety hazard. Use Common Sense: Never hitch a ride from a car / bus / truck / bicycle, etc., never ride more than one person on a pocket bike, never walk your dog while riding, never stunt ride or take unnecessary risks. Be smart, be safe.
