Nice phone, and you make $190 on the purchase of it... not bad at all.

Just posting it in case anyone is in the market!

did someone say... deal?

Fuck, I just ordered a T616 from AT&T this past weekend. I already have service through them and I am contemplating adding my current plan to this one.

Owenn,

Did you start a new account when you ordered the T616? If you did, you can cancel it, no question's asked, within 30 days. You just pay a pro-rated bill of the air-time you use.

Not sure whether you knew that or not, but I ended up getting a phone, cancelling it, then getting a 200 dollar phone for free after I started a new plan.

So, as Im showing my coworker this deal and logging on to buy it... he says "hey, Ive got one of those phones in my trunk, Ill sell it to you for $50"....

No wait, and Im the proud owner of a new phone

This is a great deal....but you have to commit to a $40/month contract.

Yeah, but that's pretty normal - at least for me.

I just got two of these locally on a Family Time plan with T-mobile and made $140 in rebates. Excellent phone too.

Actually, I did start up a new account with the purchase of that phone. My idea was to see if I liked it and then upgrade my old phone, crappy old Nokia, to GSM as its a TDMA phone.

I didn't read it too closely, is it required that you go with T-Mobile, or could I go with AT&T?

Shame they don't have any on the Verizon network. I'm not switching services until a competitor can even come close to it's service.

My cell phone is a horrible, antiquated, mess though

Both the rebates require activation on the T-mobile service. Why would you not want to use T-mobile over AT&T? Both are available in this area and IMHO T-mobile wins in every regard compared to AT&T.

I've used AT&T for 10 months now and haven't had any problems with it.

My friend at work has T-Mobile at work and is always bitching about his service thats all.

This has expired by the way. Apparently the phone for $80 was a pricing error on Amazon's part and they might not even honor the orders that were placed. (I'll be pissed!)
