Are you a AT&T customer that need a new phone for a good price? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Still on contract no problem their way to get around that. Only you need is a business (discount ) account. Call att (just say you want the 8525) tell them you want a price quotes for the phone. 8525 is 600, but regular customer don't really know about business discounts. So they will leave a note on your account for no 2 year contract price. (300) So hang up and call business care and talk a manager there is a note on my account for tech support manager and he look at your account and put in the order. Remember for tech support, that let know you had a problem with something .

But did you get it from your phone company for that price. If you did I can't say nothing else.

Where from?

Amazon.com had 8525s a few months back for $99, $149, and $199. Currently they are at $179.
These do require a new contract or a contract renewal if you are eligibile to renew.

Free 8525 if you have a premier account

I was trying to get a tytn but ebay and other sites weren't being friendly.
you can also get the moto S9 headset for $104 with free shipping ... i love the premier site

I am pretty sure that cingular gives you 30 days to try anything - any handset, any service.
i know a couple of people that have ordered phones with plans and data to get them cheap, then as soon as they activate their account they can go into OLAM (Online Account Manager) and cancel the data plan... and dont get charged for the phone, etc..

I got my 8525 like 2 months ago and I was premier eligible but when I saw the price I laughed and didn't add the data and voice to see it go to 0.00.
What kind of argument do you think I can make to cingular to see if they will refund me the phone price? I was able to get the phone for 225 before mail in rebate (100 Dollars) through cingular's tech support. However, do you think I have a shot at getting that 225 back because I have been workign for a company that was and has been certified to qualify for this program.

i dont think you will be able to get the 225$ back, cause phone prices go down over time as newer models come out . imagine everybody wanting thier money back on a phone that is offered for free now...
upgrading in premier

cruelneo said:

depends on the agreement with your company, etc... i believe that att employee's can do 4 upgrades per line per 12 months...
Unless there are different deals for different companies, which there may very well be, the deal that I see is a free 8500, I don't see the same free option for the 8525
I also checked my Premier account, and it didn't show any deals like are being talked about on the 8525. I then called AT&T Premier cust. service and was told that the Premier accounts are different for all companies and educational institutions. Each "store is unique".
yeah they are different. Some have ETF and some dont. You have to add the phone and data packages for the phone to go to $0.
Just checked my premiere and it changed to zero after adding everything also but I bought my 8525 when it first came out so I'm not upset.
I'll be waiting for the replacement before I try and upgrades..
some have reported using different emails and getting multiple phones (1 per email) and then combining them on a family plan.
I used 1 email address (my wifes) and bought 4 phones for different family members. Each one had different billing info, and I called at&t and had each one added to the family plan of that family member. Of note is that as these all required having a pre-existing numbers ported to them I had to go down to the local AT&T shop and pickup new (3g capable) sim cards. They noted in my account and I got these free of course.
I kept the data plans, so I can not speak to that.
My only suggestion in dealing with AT&T is if you are canceling an old (out of contract) line, deal with that after you have done the porting. Imply that you are simply switching the numbers as you want to use this new phone as your primary. Once that is all taken care of, cancel the old line. Otherwise they may give you a bit of grief about inter-company number porting, its BS, but that doesn't stop them.

Verizon xv6800 is now $50 for new customers, $150 existing thru bestbuy!

I just got a xv6800 thru Verizon direct, for the $250, 2 year contract price. I had a feeling it would drop when the touch pro came out, or even before to clear the way...
Well I just saw this. Best Buy is offering the xv6800 for $50 if your a NEW customer, and for $150 if your an existing customer, with 2 year extension. That's $100 cheaper then Verizon has it for existing customers, and $200 cheaper if your a new customer! That's huge!
I was p***** at the price drop but I'm within 30 days, so I called them and they had me fax them the ad here:
Here is the price for a CURRENT customer with 2 year extension ($149.99)
http://wireless.bestbuy.com/DeviceD...pgradePhone=true&ProductID=56946&CarrierID=60
And here is the price for a NEW customer ($49.99)
http://wireless.bestbuy.com/DeviceDetails.aspx?r=bestbuy3&zipcode=14615&ProductID=56946&CarrierID=60
And they're going to rebate me $100 (somehow, may come off my bill, not sure yet) - rather then having to return the phone and rebuy it (what a pain that would be)!
I'll let you know when that goes thru and how they do it, but heads up Verizon customers :-D

I could have just returned it and bought it thru best buy, then they don't get the sale, and i'm majorly inconvienced. I've been a verizon customer since before verizon was around here (Had bell atlantic mobile) so.. ya. Wasn't taking no for an answer.

ATT Pure FREE on HTC Online Store

http://www.htc.letstalk.com/
Price 179$ minus $179.99 LetsTalk instant discount
2yr. contract required, of course....
GREAT DEAL
Crrrrrrrrrrraaaaaapppp!!! If only I had seen this literally a couple hours ago!!!
I just picked one up at the local shop... So far, it's quite a nice upgrade from my Titan... Really anxious to try out a few new roms, but need a default to get back to...
Hmm.... wonder if I can take this one back... or if it's a simple matter of giving a call to 'ol AT&T...
Thanks for the headsup though... I'm sure others that were gonna take the plunge will appreciate it too!
AT&T retail shops have a $35 restock fee. Still worth it with there $199 - $49 mail in price.
If i already have an account, premier with a 25% discount will i qualify or will it screw anything up? I am available for upgrade though

You should get that if you log in through the premier site.
I called and I got mine for 25% off, and I wasn't even close to being out of contract.
Right now I am on one of AT&T's pre-paid plans. Does anyone know if I would be able to move my number over to the new contract?
I think upgrades cost a little more at lets-talk. I seen this a while ago and while it's free for new customers, it's more for an upgrade. Still cheaper though... but how much it is worth to go through the hassles to save a few bucks?
If you upgraded for $150 a MIR, thats not bad.
the rest of the story....
As it turns out, 29 days into using the phone, I called to cancel. Told 'em they charged me too much. The pot had sweetened... now, not only is the phone free, but the $45.00 rebate is applied... soooo... yup. they're actually paying people to use the Pure/Warbird/Topaz..
When I brought this to the attention of the customer service rep I got on the phone, showed them the website, wouldn't ya know, Good 'ol AT&T applied a credit for the 200.00 that I payed for the phone, and allowed me to submit the rebate form...
Pretty good customer service if you ask me...
Long story short, it's worth it if you paid anything more than zero to switch over and go with the pure.
--- Good Luck if you decide to get one. So far I've still been VERY pleased. Not only with the performance of the equipment, but the quality of the roms being cooked up around here.
Two cents worth... good luck.
hahaha thats funny i did pretty much same thing to them....
went to the local att store and i told em the whole lets talk deal so they gave me the phone for free nice one btw i was already more then 2 years with at&t ...
the phone from lets talk its only for a new customers , upgrade is not valid so if u are already an att customer u wont be able to get lets talk deal but hey ppl go to the store and they will do everything to keep u in they are crew
I bought my Pure from LetsTalk on Wednesday for $0. It was an upgrade not a new contract. I do have a family plan and it's only free when you upgrade the main line on a family plan.
I decided since I got the phone free that I'd pay $14.95 for overnight shipping. I had the phone before lunch on Thursday (yesterday). I honestly couldn't be happier with the phone and the fast service from LetsTalk.
Phone looks nice, but I don't want to be forced to the $30 data plan that is required now with this phone, as opposed to the $15 plans of old!
I got my Pure free from radio shack for renewing my contract for 2 years... ATT store online only had refurbs and local ATT would only do it for 99.00
For anyone looking for a Pure... check the radio shack. I also got a 30$ giftcard included... and my plan was only the family talk 550.
Woot!

Evo available on Wirefly for $189.99 with no MIR + $50 Bing Cashback

Well, I certainly woke up to a pleasant surprise. I've been stuck with having to buy the Evo on Wirefly to claim a hundred dollar savings I had won, only to see that the final price is thirty dollars lower than I expected! You pay $169.99 with a 35 dollar activation fee. There's no taxes, and the FedEx shipping is free.
For those of you wondering, Wirefly is a reputable place to purchase from. Two weeks ago, I purchased two blackberry Curves and a Hero from them with a new contract. They waived the activation fee via a promotion, shipped it within twenty four hours of ordering via two day FedEx for free, and the phones arrived in two days after it was shipped. The only problem is speaking to their sales department; it consists of nothing but overseas representatives who are difficult to understand at times and try to push device protection on your devices constantly. If you order online, though, there's absolutely no issues. They allow you to check on the status of your order, and include every detail of the purchase and plan in the sales receipt if you want to make changes.
Just thought I'd share this great deal .
Edit: Oh! I also forgot to mention that Wirefly is a partner of Bing Cashback. When you order through Bing, you get $50 cash back on your account. That brings the total cost of the device down to $119.99. Sounds good to me!
I have used Wirefly 3 times before and they are great! I am impatient and do not want to wait for my phone this time though haha
That sounds pretty awesome! I'm going to have to see what I can do with this one.
If ordering from them do you know if I can port a phone number?

Yes, you can port your phone number through them. I transferred my parent's and brother's numbers from Metro PCS to the Sprint phones without a problem.
I wonder what will happen if someone tries to upgrade who is not eligible for an upgrade and who is still on contract. I went through the motion of buying it there and the final price came to $180 or something. Wonder what would happen after I get the phone.

can't you just call up sprint once your order is processed to add the discount? nowhere in their terms state you can't add discount; it says you can't switch to a lower service plan, but adding a discount isn't lowering the service plan
here's the terms of their instant discount:
INSTANT DISCOUNTS
Wirefly promises you savings in the form of instant discounts with no rebates or gimmicks when you sign up for wireless carrier service. Delivering on this promise means that you must agree to maintain your agreement for a minimum of 6 months after activation. Deactivating your phone, or downgrading features or the rate plan, may lead to additional charges.
When you sign up for wireless carrier service through Wirefly, we discount your phone purchase price by an Equipment Discount amount ranging from $200 to $300. By ordering through Wirefly, you agree to repay this discount if, during the 181 days after your new equipment is activated, if you:
Fail to pay your balance due to your carrier each month
Disconnect this line of service
Transfer this equipment to another line of service
Change your carrier service rate plan to a lower monthly service rate plan
Deactivate the email/data feature if one was required at the point of purchase
Transfer/port an existing phone number from another account if this is a new line of service
Replace an existing account with this account if this is a new line of service
Return or exchange your phone and it is not in its original, new condition with no more than 30 minutes of usage
If you break any of these contract provisions, except as a result of a documented service quality issue related to the carrier service, you authorize us to charge your credit card in repayment of the Equipment Discount.
EDIT: they changed the price to $189.99
As of 4:30 this afternoon, Wirefly has officially run out of HTC Evos. The site lists the next shipment time in five to seven days. Fortunately, I was able to get my order placed at 4:00. Unless you really want that $50 rebate, I'd look toward other stores.
These things are selling out an alarming rate.
Now it says shipping within 20 days...
Oh man. Still $50 is probably worth it considering I still have my iPhone for the time being.
i know letstalk is getting shipment June 10, but they still have backorders they need to fulfill; don't know any other place where i can get it without waiting for the mail in rebate
sprint online store has them in stock and can receive in 2-5 days, but not willing to pay $1049 now and have to wait for rebates for 2-4 months

You couldn't be more correct. I stupidly placed the order for my parents and brother via Wirefly's sales department via phone, and it was a horrendous experience. It took over an hour for the idiot to understand what I wanted, write my name down properly, and to shut up about the extended warranty and accessories.
That being said, that's what the online store is for. It's just like the rest of them.
Also, wow. Shipping within 20 days? I was 15 minutes away from having to wait a month for my Evo to arrive? Insane.
I got lucky and got my order in before they raised the price. 169 + 50 bing cash back plus avoiding 45$ in taxes here in CA. It arrives tomorrow =).

Holy crap, shut up! Mine is arriving tomorrow as well! . Of course, I placed my order when it was back at $189.99, but it's still a great deal.
Any idea what'd happen if I tried to order this even though I'm not eligible for an upgrade from Sprint? I'm trying to see if I can grab one of these to participate in development. Although, I'm not sure I'm willing to blow $450 for the privilege.
Ok. I'm on Wirefly and I want to add this phone as a new line on a family plan.
I am seeing:
Service Plan: $9.99/month
Sprint Data Pack - mobile web, web-based email, and basic Sprint TV/Music: $15.00/month
4G Premium Data: $10.00/month
What's that $15/month part? If my family is already on the Any Mobile Any Time with data included, is that required?
I want to try and put this in ASAP!

It does look like I can get this for $189 (+$50 bing cashback) if I select that I would like to extend my contract with Sprint. I'm a little curious about this, you'd think that I shouldn't be able to do this, but at the same time Wirefly probably has no idea that I started my contract in November 09. I'm just worried about what happens when I get the phone! Is no one the wiser? Do people just not know? Maybe I should try this out and give you all an update as to the outcome. I'm willing to bet if there's some kind of foul up and a cancellation charge appears on my account, I could possibly settle it with Sprint feigning ignorance. It's not like I want to jump ship or anything after all, I like Sprint.
Hope you find out. I'm on my hero and not due for upgrade or anything... I wanna upgrade to evolution from hero, but don't have hundreds of dollars

Best place to get a Vibrant off contract

I've been following the Galaxy S and Vibrant releases for a while and love the Vibrant. I however have a problem concerning plans. Since I will only be using its Internet capabilities where I have Wi-Fi (college, home, work), I have no need or desire for a data plan. T-Mobile REQUIRES new devices are sold with data plans so my question is.
1.Would getting a Vibrant from Ebay (for ~$500) and using my old SIM be the best option?
2. Can I just walk into a Tmobile store and tell them I want to purchase a RETAIL ($500) Vibrant with no contract or SIM and get one that way (or are they going to add a data plan and ask me for my Tmobile line credentials to do so)?
3. Is getting a Vibrant on contract for $200 + data plan and then cancelling the contract after the 15th day the cheapest option?
I suppose I would prefer to buy it from Tmobile, even at retail price since I get the manufacturer insurance of 1 year (have needed it before) free though if not possible, Ebay is an option too. I'm just looking at getting it as cheap as possible without having to do a 2-year data plan contract.
Thx.
I bought it at T-mobile off contract, however i made some other account changes while i was there so not sure if they require anything account wise when buying off contract.
I see. What kind of changes did you make? Adding a data plan or something else?
Do you think I can walk into a store, and buy a Vibrant for $500 WITHOUT providing any account information so that they cannot associate my account with the phone?
I'd like to keep my contract AS IS currently, and if possible not renew it (it just passed the 2 years mark so I can technically get a discounted phone if I renew it but I do not like T-Mobile's new contracts. I have unlimited texting on my line through a Family plan)
you might try asking this over in the the Tmobile vibrant forum
i believe you can cancel the data plan after or during the first month but i'm not the expert
costco WAS selling Vibrants off-contract (even more plans) for $229. not sure if its still ongoing.
Either costco or t-mobile. At costco they have to tie it it to a new phone line, which you can cancel at any time since you aren't under contact, pretty sure there is no fee.
I opted to but at tmo, and have the price split up over 20 payments interest free. I already had an existing android plan though.

Even More plans are contract plans. Are you talking about Even More Plus plans?
Go by a T-Mobile store and ask or call their customer service. You'll get a much better answer straight from the horse's mouth than you will from here.
I've heard about people trying to get a discounted phone with a new contract or making changes to their plan so they qualify and then immediately change things around in a manner that would disqualify them from the discount after they got it and then T-Mobile hit them with the remaining amount for the full price of the phone in their next bill. I guess it's their way of saying "cheaters never prosper".
If I buy it from Tmobile with ANY sort of contract...Even more Plus or Even More, they WILL add a data plan to it. There is also activation fees for a new line so not only will I have to pay the $500 for an even more plus plan, but I would have to CANCEL the line...in that case I may as well get it off of Ebay and save myself the hassle of all that.
The T-Mo forums are really helpful with everything other than development. Try there or stop at an official T-Mo store. The third party official partner places get paid to sell contracts. I've had some bad experiences on eBay and had to go to resolution with the seller twice on pre-smartphone phones, so beware.
What kind of bad experiences exactly?
If I were you and looking for a SGS I'd buy the full model that has all the extras... or possibly even the version with a slide out keyboard and ffc. The SGS Pro i believe it is.

Wrong carrier on one occasion and got a refurbished instead of new phone the other time. I have gotten good deals as well, so it's a crapshoot. I probably didn't screen the seller as well as I should have, just looked at the overall rating.

you could probably call tmo or stop in to a tmo corp store and ask, I find they are usually very helpful about things like this. side note i actually had a long conversation w/ the rep at the store when i bought my vibrant about cyanogenmod and phone modding, which he has done to his phones.
OMG, costco was selling this for $250 no contract and noone spread the good news. SHAME ON YOU ALL.
Know if i can still get it @ 250?
if you find any good deals please post it here. thanks

Nope. A memo was sent out and they raised the price Tuesday morning to $479. Think the $250 was a pricing error.
The best deal is with Bing cashback! $325
Go to bing.com
search for tmobile (you should see gold dollar sign w 35% off)
click on the link to tmobile site then do your shopping
I got my phone for $325 and on top of that, 35% off activation and the $59 plan.
so my total saving was $208
But bing is ending its cashback program at the end of july so better hurry!
I don't see the gold $ when I search t-mobile nor when I do my shopping after clicking through bing do I get the discount.
Is there supposd to be some code you put? Is it possible for you to just post a link?
too bad Bing cashback is gone at the end of the month.

I went to check the phone out the phone at a local store and someone was playing with the demo so the rep let me play with his personal phone. I noticed he had the su app installed lol

I totally agree! I recently switched our 5 phones over from AT&t and we went with Even More Plus because it's cheaper in the long run and no contract. However, we had to pay full price for the phones. Two of them were basic flip phones, but three of them were Samsung Vibrants at $500 apiece. We bought them at a T-Mobile corporate store and the most they did for us was waive the activation fee (which I found out would have been done anyway as a AAA member) and give us one free car charger when we bought the other two. We shelled out $1500 for the three Vibrants and we could have paid $750 at Costco!!!!! We're still in our 14 day return period, obviously, so if this is all true I'm going to call T-Mobile and see what can be done.
