First, I would like to commend you for your efforts in Haiti. I think that Haiti is one of the most beautiful places in the world and will again someday be able to show the world what it has to offer.

With that being said...my name is Paul H. Pearson. I work for a large wireless provider in the U.S. as a Transport Engineer, (I design the path for Cell Phones to get from Cell towers to switches).

I am also previ to the # of cell phones we purchase for our store on a quarterly basis due to the fact that I have to build capacity on the network to exceed the # of units that we see coming onto the network.

Which lead me to inquire, because we never have as many units sale as purchased...what happens to the phones that don't get sold...after a fiscal period. What I found was that these phones along with those of most cell phone companies are sold for pennies on the dollar to whole-sellers who often raise the price and cell them to foreign markets.

My girlfriend (She's Haitian from Jacmel) and I went to a wedding recently and saw first hand what people were paying for phones there and I instantly though about the possibility of getting some of the surplus equipment to Haiti.

I can get wholesale phones both CDMA and GSM quad-band for export to Haiti for as low as $2.80 per unit plus shipping and handling. I can sell in bulk only and the order must be for at least 100 units. Does anyone know of a service provider/distributor who would be interested?

I look forward to your response,

Best regards,

Paul H. Pearson
