I am pretty sure you dont get the rebate unless you get a 1 or 2 year contract with the phone. I submitted my rebate through the verizon online rebate center and mailed away with my verizon receipt from my online purchase and the rebate form I printed online.
Was this a fluke on verizon's behalf since I paid $530 for mine and not a new contract or extension? I mailed my rebate last week and got it today. $100 rebate card!
thats not sure. u can get the mail in rebate with full price. also i ordered mine from customer service over the phone and i still got a mail in rebate form, im pretty sure I can get that also, which they gave me the instant discount already
Wait I am thinking about getting switching to Incredible from the Eris for a few reason, but is this really true? Because, at 430 plus tax that is cheaper than going the ebay route. What can the rebated card be used for, can it be just used for cash?
if you are anywhere over 12 months into your plan you can upgrade to a new 2 year plan and only pay a $20 early upgrade fee... making the phone $220 .. U upgraded my secondary line for the incredible and they keep sending me emails for an extra 50 off of another incredible to upgrade my main account early... making it $150... if you wait verizon will send you some discount soon... especially if you are a long term customer.... I'm 9 years with VZW and finally I have a phone I'm not ashamed to own
The rebate applies regardless of the price you paid. The only way it doesn't apply is if you received an instant rebate at the time of purchase. I too, paid full retail, and got my debit card yesterday. Bringing the total cost of my Incredible, after I sold my Moto Droid and accessories, to $64.00.
Where would have it the lowest price eligible for the rebate?

I could of sworn the fine print said it was only applicable to people who got a 1 or 2 year contract, not people who paid full price. When I ordered the phone full price it did not show any discount available like it does with the 1 or 2 year contract, it shows price after rebate...

That's right, because when you re-up, or do a new contract, they give you the rebate instantly. When you go the full retail route, you have to mail it in.
I also paid full price for mine 529.00 at Best Buy and they would not give me any rebate, instant or mail in. You would think paying full price they would cut us some slack
Wow thanks for the info. I had no idea I could qualify for any rebates, but mine's on it's way right now. That extra $100 will be useful for a proper battery/charger/AF that this phone shoulda been stock with!
To find out if you are eligible for a rebate, simply go here, https://www.yourwirelessrebatecenter.com/promocenter/verizonwireless/promo_search.html, and fill in the required information.
The rebate only applies to 1/2yr contracts, so if you received a rebate and paid full retail then you lucked out. The *instant* rebate only applies online, telesales (if you tell them your are having errors ordering online), or sometimes indirect stores, other wise if your order at direct store or through customer service by phone, you would recieve a *mail* in rebate. Exceptions can be made depending on the situation.
All I know is, I paid $529 for my Incredible, ordered on the VZW website, did not extend my contract, sent in the rebate, and got my $100. If people aren't interested in $100, then so be it.

Yep I just sent mine in too, sold my TP2 for $300, getting this $100 back. Overall price for the Incredible - $164. I can be happy with that lol
i must have way over paid phone after tax was 620 last one they had in stock in Vegas was on vacation and won enough to buy one now need to sell xv6800 maybe get 100 for that then total would be 420 but i won 700 of 50 dollars so win win.
Thank you guys SO MUCH for posting about this! I also paid full retail for my phone, $530 + tax, with NO contract extension, and asked the store reps specifically if I was eligible for the $100 mail in rebate, to which they said NO, and even on my receipt "(Rebate NOT Elligible)". Why I ever listen to those clowns, I do not know... they also said I was not eligible for the free 2gb memory card... eh no big loss there but still I wonder.
Anyways, I followed the link and found that I AM eligible for the $100 rebate, got the form right from that link after filling in some basic info, and will mail it off tomorrow with my UPC and copy of my receipt. I don't forsee any issue with getting my $100 card
You guys made my day, and my wife's day as well . I also was lucky enough to sell my Touch Pro 2 to a coworker for $300, plus this $100, brings my total out of pocket to ~$150... Very nice indeed for a new phone after only 6 mos!
So anyone get their rebates yet since I posted this topic?

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up. I currently have a TyTN that I bought about 6 months ago, I finally convinced my wife that she should get a new phone today. We went to the local Cingular Corporate Store and what do we see...8525's on sale for $99.99 with a new 2 year contract. We picked one up for her and I picked one up for myself as a back up phone. You have to sign-up for the PDA Unlimited plan to recieve the mail-in rebate for $50. I opted to not get that plan becuase it's a rip-off, so we paid $150 plus tax for each phone.
I thought that I might spread the word. Maybe you care maybe you don't...just trying to give a little back.
One person at the store said that the special offer ends Monday 4/30/07 and one other person said that it ended on 5/2/07. So if this interests you, you might want to call your local corporate store.

hmm i guess this is a local deal? I believe in Dallas, TX its still $399.99 with 2 yr contract and minus a $100 rebate for data plan totaling to $299.99 but I do agree thats a rip off for the data plan
What are the details on this special? I can't find it less that $360. Was it a refurb?
yeah i got mine for 200 plus a 50 dollar mail in rebate
hmm I am going to check tomorrow just for kicks. I got the 8525 less than 2 weeks ago. Do Cingular offer price matches? If not, I'll just do a return/exchange

The 2 that I got were brand spankin new. If it helps they were purchased in Tustin, CA.
I called Cingular and game them your 92780 zip code. Price was still >$300.
Was this at a Cingular Store (I thought this was what you meant)? Did it involve rebates? Best price I've seen is $199 after rebates @ Wirefly (but I won't buy from them or anyone using them again).
I'd buy one today if I could get the deal you got!
Which store did you buy it from in CA, I'll call them directly!

Why do you think the PDA Unlimited plan is a rip off?
I have the PDA Connect (Shown as: "PDACNCTUNTLADD" on my bill) for $39.99 minus company sponsorship discount.
Is there a better unlimited data plan?
Thanks.
Got mine for $99 (after $50 rebate). It used a $100 rebate for the California market, but since it was a corporate store, they matched the final price here.
Love these forums, saved me >$250 on this puppy!
Today was the last day.
If you want to make a mad dash, call you local store and see if they will match the current promotion in California.

Because most pay 19.99 for the Media Max and get unlimited internet... you just need to tell them you have a non-pda phone...
I tried calling the stores AND the price is 150 -50 for PDA, BUT you have to upgrade in the store. They wont do any over the phone orders. And cingular.com will not honor the price.
FINALLY I was able to get one of the store in the LA area to upgrade me over the phone and ship it to me... but it is not 150... Actually it is 196.49 out the door with taxes (they have to charge tax on the original price or some BS like that). Still a deal.
SO ANYONE IN THE LA AREA JUMP AT THIS DEAL.....
Ron
It would be proper to mention all the details about the deal... They are NOT 99 dollars.
It's 149.99 if you pick up a 2 year contract (or have an upgrade available on the account)
Tax is 46 dollars and is based on the 399 price tag, not the 99.99 tag
And until now, I thought the rebate was for everyone, but apparently it's only 50 off if you get that unlimited data plan.
The phones are 196.xx out the door each NOT 99!!!

Wait I'm confused, was this just one Coporate Store? Are you sure it's over? I'm in the L.A. area, where should I go to see if I can still get this deal?
THanks for the help
yeah no kidding. I was gonna buy a TYTN for $600 until I saw this.
Well i was able to get the vibrant for Tmobile for 64.99 with 2 year commitment with $20 unlimited data loyalty plan, No upgrade/ activation fee, and free 3 day shipping and intant rebate. I was offered same deal on all 5 of my lines but will only take it up on one since i want to save the other upgrades for future phone releases. Only bad part is i wont get the vibrant until tuesday .
Im thinking of picking up one at tmobile tomorrow for retail price which is$439 to play with until mine comes in and then just return it, but i dont think tmobile will like that much.
Just really happy to get such a great deal and looking foward to android coming from the iphone platform

He has 5 lines. Phone companies always treat people based on how much they pay a month. The more you pay on your phone bill the more likely you are to get deals and fee's waived.
Also I see this confusion a LOT. $439 vs $499. It seems the $439 price is only for current customers, or people well into their contract. The $499 is for everyone else.

Ive been with tmo for 8 years and have 5 lines so im sure that helped. Basicly all my lines are out of contract and had previous considered going to ATT for new iphone. Tmobile offered free upgrades on all lines for any phone they had at that time with all fees waived. But they didnt have the vibrant out yet, so they told me to call once it was out to see what deal i could have. I called once it became availabe and they offered to waived all fees, bump up shipping and and additional $100 credit to regular upgrade. They ended up giving me additional $135 because i mentioned my upgrade only said 164.99, which was different from their $199, so they just added $35 to match the price.
Tmobile takes care of their customers! I have no issues being on a commitment with them.
Nice ^^^

I paid $499.99
i paid 499.99 also, and i've been with t-mobile for 9 years with 4 phones.
got one offered for $429+taxes (~$460) as my early upgrade price (i bought my mt3g aug last year).
moved on to the retentions folks who brought it down to $249 + taxes, which is only $50 more than a brand new contract, i was sold on that. had them make the note on my account and picked it up in-store locally for the same price! =)
loving the phone so far, big upgrade from the mytouch3g.
can't wait to get CM6 on this baby.
btw, im having market issues currently - "download failed" error. was initially able to download a couple apps, but none now despite several reboots.

For the rest of the day you get no activation fee ($36) when you buy the Epic 4G.
They only charge $239 for the phone to begin with. Given that I live in CA my savings were:
Tax: $28
Activation Fee: $36
Discount: $10
Total: $74 saved
Also I am not sure if I will get it but entering code WIREFLYBLUE22 should give you a free Bluetooth headset. People are reporting a 83% success rate on the site I found the code listed.

Yup, thats going to be your out the door price. You could always try Best Buy or radio Shack to get the instant rebate at the counter
Tax with sprint or any other store at that will charge tax off of the base price not the discounted price I believe, thats over 40 bucks in CA.
So look for no taxes, if you are worried about that.

I bit the bullet with Wirefly. My advice for anyone else considering this option is make sure you understand exactly what they are doing with your Sprint account. Somehow the call center ppl put the wrong plan after I had told them many many times how I wasn't looking to change the plans on my account at all.
Has anyone else had good experiences with this company? They seem like a lot of frustration
Wirefly is sketch. They have this bull**** 6 month rule when you cancel your new contract within 6 months with any of the carriers, then they bill you $300 for "equipment recovery fee". So, for Verizon, I got hit with $375 from Verizon for ETF and $300 from Wirefly for a ****ing Droid 1 that I bought for $189. Do the math. They ****ing tried to rape me. AND, on top of that, they charged $300 to the same debit card I used to do the original transaction about EIGHT MONTHS after I originally did business with Wirefly. They did that illegally without my permission. They had paper billed me for it and I was telling myself "no way they're getting $300 when the phone was only worth $449".. then a $300 charge from "Simplexity" shows up on my bank statement.
Hate Wirefly. And, their "discounts" aren't even ****ing discounts. $10 off a phone? Give me a break.
I got the phone from Wirefly. I knew going into it the 6 month rule and I do not plan on making any changes or cancelling in that time. Also they have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee, so I can return in 30 days without issue.
I know they have a bad rep, but here is why I got it from them anyway.
No tax in California
Amazon only does new contracts
A free bluetooth headset(see OP)

No rebate to deal with, $239.99 was exactly what they charged.

I'm not sure how long it will take, they had a overnight, 2 day, and free shipping options. I went with free. I did notice Amazon says "Ships in 7-8 days" so they are not even shipping on the 31st.
Good luck everyone who went this route. I chickened out and decided to not go with wirefly. I'm glad I didn't, they are sketch and I don't like dealing with online chats and outsourced call centers for "customer support"

Amazon.com just got the EPIC 4G on their site for preorders, it's $199.99 with new contract, or $499.99 without any service. Best deals I've seen anywhere. If these don't sell out, I bet it'll hit $150 by september 1st. This is just great if you are a new customer on Sprint.

Kinda blows if you're an existing one though...
Does sprint allow you to cancel and then sign up as a new contract? Because of the pro-rating of their cancellation fees, it would be significantly cheaper to get the discounted Amazon phone (even better if it follows the other Galaxy S phone pricing) than it would be to buy the unsubsidized Epic.

You mean cancel your current sprint plan, then take the amazon.com epic deal with a brand new contract? I think you can do that. However like you said, there is the prorated early termination fee, and you also need to consider that you would of course lose your current phone number. You could of course also switch to a prepaid account with some other carrier for a week or so though, and just port your number over a lot, but that could be a bit risky/flawed.
If you wanted to buy a cheap amazon epic 4g then cancel right after though, you'd pay a ton, amazon.com would hit you with early cancel charges, as would sprint.
If you cancel your contract, you have to wait 90 days before you can qualify for new customer pricing on devices.

Yes, I meant the first part. Cancel my sprint contract (and risk losing the #), then rejoin sprint on the cheaper (possibly much cheaper) amazon phone deal. Switching phone numbers isnt always a bad thing.
$199 wow! Way to stick it to Wirefly and their cheapo $10 off price.
I'm currently on the $30 SERO plan, and converting to either a 5-line EPRP, or a 5-line corporate discount plan. I guess there's no way in hell I can do either one thru Amazon.

Aha, thanks for the definitive answer. Could a family member qualify immediately? We don't share a last name.
Oh man Amazon is annoying, is there any way to see the final review order page without submitting the credit check info? I'd assume they don't actually perform the credit check until you submit the order, but I'd rather not take that risk, especially just to see a check-out price! I just want to see if they charge taxes and activation.

It says "currently unavailable" now...
this should be the sprint price for it, no mail in rebate.
I'm kinda regretting reserving through Radioshack now!
$250 + taxes comes out to around $270. I'm assuming Amazon will provide Prime shipping and next day shipping being around $20 bucks.
Can't refund the $50 deposit i put for the pre-order through Radioshack either. :|
How much is Sprint's early contract termination fee?
im trying to buy it on amazon. apparently there's no option to add a new line to an existing account. if there is can some1 point me out to it. all im seeing are the options to buy it for 500 as an existing customer or 199 as a new customer

I did that before, and it's 200$ per line... a very hefty sum

radioshack has 10 dollar off coupons, so its 240 + tax. I would do amazon, but with 2 phones, it will be a hassle, so I'm doing radioshack for ease of return if there are any problems.

From what I was told at the Sprint store, its a total of $240 early termination, or $10 a month, for each of the 24 months of the 2 year contract.
The longer you have the contract, the lower the termination fee is.
Does Amazon charge an activation fee of $36 per line? Also has anyone purchased from them before? Just wondering if they would actually ship the phone on 8/31 and if the return policy is any good? Thanks in advance.
post your experiences here and let us all know how it goes...were you able to get $399? $499? did the employees know what they were doing or was it a huge hassle? if you had to argue/explain/haggle your way to a certain price fill us in on how, why, etc... and let us know of any other issues someone going later in the week should be wary of if any....
Called a shop in Atlanta yesterday and the guy said "499, eehm, no wait, 399." A friend of mine is picking one up for me to bring to Germany, told him he can go up to 499 if it's deadly necessary..
I talked to one of my local stores and was told $499....
just bumping this up for tomorrow...or today if anyone's lucky....
The stores here said.they were getting.them tomorrow; ill call one now and see what the pricing is; if I can get it for 400 off contract ill do that.

It's 499 but you can qualify for the 100 MIR.

Is that the Mail In Rebate term I always see mentioned, what does it mean?

All I know is if I ordered through the premier site (business line) I qualified for an immediate 100 discount, which means I would get the same discount in stores. Could be the fact that I have a business line, but I'm not sure.
Granted, it looks like I'll be buying mine at a 3rd party reseller today since he's supposed to get it in stock and always does a sale before the release date if he can.
Also as far as I know it's $299 before a $100 MIR and AT&T lets you get the rebate on an off contract device if you have the qualifiers for data also. Which I will since I have my data plan and messaging plan.
naturefreak,
Have you found any stores local to you that are willing to sell you the phone today? I'm headed to Town Center in a couple hours..
My local store is selling it for $499 off contract OR $199 plus a $200 dollar upgrade fee. So buying off contract would cost me about 533 with tax, the other option would be about 412 but lock me into another 2 years. decisions decisions.
Pay $499 and submit the rebate for $100 back... that's what I'd try at least. As long as you have a qualifying voice/data plan I don't see why the rebate company would deny your $100 rebate...

Nothing in Boca, Phone Super Store in Boynton is supposed to get it today. I've got myself on their list. They should call me the moment it arrives, I'm happy I work around the corner from there.
I'm not too worried either way. I plan on showing the lady in the store tomorrow that I can order it on Premier and get an instant $100 discount and see what she says. If she gives me a hard time I'll just pay the $100 and submit the rebate form. I'm pretty sure the rebate company will give me the $100, but if by chance they don't.. no big loss. By the way, who did you ask about the $100 rebate if paying $499.. some person in the store or at telesales?

Hey, that worked 2 years ago when I bought my Bold 9000 at full retail. I swear I buy phones way too often. Since I bought that phone I have had the 9700, the Backflip, the SE C905A, the Motorola Backflip, and now the Nexus one. Next up is clearly the beast of a machine Atrix.
FU.. thats right across the street from me. Let the guy know that you know someone else who wants one.

$200 upgrade fee? That's highway robbery!
