Sorry to start another thread, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that Let's Talk now has The Fuze. I have been waiting to see if it would pop up there or on Amazon first. I bought it through the Walmart website. You can get the phone for either $99 or free. The free option requires you to start out with a voice plan of at least $59.99. The $99 option let's you choose a voice plan of $39.99. Although, both options make you get a data plan, but I was going to get one anyway. My total price (tax and all) was 195.53 before the $50 mail-in rebate. I'm very happy, and can finally stop wasting time at work.
I was going to upgrade through them, but they told me something completely laughable. You can upgrade a family plan, but EVERY LINE ON YOUR PLAN BEGINS A NEW 2 YEAR CONTRACT!!!
I was like, what're you ****ing kidding me? That'd be five 2 year contracts to get a cheaper upgrade, thanks but no thanks.
I tried this with my 4-line family plan. The configurator allowed me to get two of them free and two lesser phones free of charge. None of my lines are currently under contract... I am finding it hard to see the drawbacks to this.

Was this a representative that told you that or on the internet because it sounds completely inane :O?
If you talked with somebody, i'd try to give it another go.
Interesting, if there is a way to do this without extending all the contracts on the line I'll take mine back to the AT&T store. You can do this in store right?
The website states that whether you upgrade one line or all lines there will be a new 2yr contract for all lines in a family plan.

The upgrade price is $249.99. Be careful when dealing with LetsTalk. They have different terms and conditions in addition to AT&T's that are more strict. You MUST have a data plan to get this deal, and MUST have the data plan active for at least 6 months, or they will charge your credit/debit card at least $250.00.
I maybe retarded but I can't find how to upgrade 1 line on a family plan. It never gives me the option of choosing one line, just selecting a plan. If I select the family plan that I have it asks me to add at least 2 phones to complete the order.
Any ideas on upgrading just one line on an existing plan? Thanks.
Hmm...I just went through the LetsTalk procedure and it's telling me that, with an upgrade, you can get two Fuzes completely free? If this is true, I'm running immediately back to the store and returning this $350 dollar one.

Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully I won't have any issues, as I was already planning on getting a data plan. If anything "weird" happens, I'll be sure to let everyone know.
Just a head's up. I have been with AT&T for years. Simply put, purchasing ANYTHING from letstalk.com is like walking into a mexican brothel without a condom. I have read many situation regarding these people, they are 100% sales driven. For those not wanting to believe me, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read ALL the fine print. You might save a little now but 80% of the time you will spend much more later.
This has been a public service announcement from KD8DNS
I too have been with ATT for many years, and read of many angry stories related to orders from them. I have ordered from them twice in the past and have not had any trouble either time, BUT... I agree with KD8DNS, there is an expansive amount of fine print with many rules that govern the purchase. Read this twice even three times, so that you won't be one of the many complaining in 6 months that Letstalk charged you $250 per line because you violated terms.
yea...
This looks too good to be true...
I am moving from T-Mobile and need my number ported...
I am planning on getting a hefty voice and data plan anyway, so that shouldn't be any issue...I need the data plan for work and I pay a arm and leg to T-Mobile now so over $100 is par for the course.
I think I am going to wait to see if this comes through for someone else...signing up for new service on ATT, they say that I am only going to have to pay $99, and get a $99 rebate after 6 mos of service...that is not a big deal, but getting the phone for free really seems too good to be true!
BTW, I have been looking to jump from T-Mobile for quite some time now as I need a WM phone on a 3G network and Sprint/Verizon service leaves something to be desired in my area...
I mean, come on...$99 out of my pocket for this phone???? And I get that back with a rebate after having service for 6 mos????
That is just crazy...seems way too good to be true.
I don't get it how people have problems with Letstalk. I have ordered twice from them and had a great experience. The rule is
You can NOT downgrade your plan and you can not be late on your bill. If you do that for 6 months, it is a great deal.
Simply put: If you take the LetsTalk deal, you cannot alter your account in any way for 6 mos. If you move and have to change your number that may cause your rebate to be rejected even worse they may charge you the $250 I mentioned earlier. If you are stable and the features you select are fine for 6 mo. it may be worth it. It is not really to good to be true. They make the bulk of their money in commissions paid by AT&T. However, the commissions are tied to you living up to your commitment to them/AT&T. I have ordered from them before without issue, but I admit that i am a rare breed. If you decide to take the plunge, just know what you are getting into.

Yea, that fits me to a tee...
I have done the research and know what I want...I am not going to alter my account at all. I am not going to move at all.
They don't have them in stock though...backordered...D'OH!
It's also only good for new contracts or porting from another carrier. It's $250 for existing ATT customers with a 2 year contract extension.
I already bought my fuze through the At&t store. Can I return it to take advantage of this freebie deal Let's Talk has? What it he penalty for returning it?
I was an out of contract, upgrade available customer. So I ended up getting my phone for 260.

I took mine back and all that I had to pay was $20.00 a restocking fee. The rest of the fees were all reimbursed. I was told by the 800# that it is up to each store whether they charge the $20.00 dollar restocking fee. The store I went to did.
I bought our family plan almost 2 years ago from Letstalk.com and it was a great experience. I have not changed out plan at all other than changing phones and data/text plans. But the base talk plan has stayed the same.
Jeff
I was actually considering buying from letstalk.com. I have my fuze that I bought yesterday all packed up like it's new and I'm returning it first thing. They also said that if you're returning and it has no problems, they'll take $20. If it has a problem, they'll waive that fee for you. But what's up with this part in LetsTalk's Terms and Conditions? :S
If you extend your contract length on a family plan, all lines will be extended.

Friend just emailed me....the Captivate is now just 1 cent. Not a bad deal, eh?
http://tinyurl.com/2a9d8az
This is Amazon, much like WireFly,LetsTak and any other reseller they can price the phone at whatever price theyd like since they make comission off the monthly plans more so than the actual hardware. Theyll take a big hit ($200-$300) on the phone in order to make it back up with the plan.
BTW this is for new contracts only via Amazon, renewals are still $99 and Family is $149.
I just ordered one from Amazon for a penny. So long Sprint and so long samsung moment (blech)
I ordered mine from Amazon along with 3 other phones on a new family plan with 1400 minutes. Total cost after shipping: $.04.
makes me feel I made a mistake getting the phone in the first place. Good thing I like the phone.

Why would you feel like you made a mistake getting the phone if you like it just b/c the price went down? Hell, I paid $175 for mine (Family plan upgrade-secondary line) and I'm still happy with my purchase. I agree that it is annoying to see them offer such good deals for new users and screw over "loyal" customers though...
AT&T charged me $100, they gave me the $100 discount for being a loyal customer. Funny thing is i joined when the iPhone 3G came out.
I tried to get my wife to get it for 1 cent but she insists on getting the EVO, loyal yo sprint.

To be fair Amazon's a dealer like Wirefly. They make nothing on the sale of phones but get paid on selling the contracts. The Captivate is 99 dollars if you are renewing or adding a line on Amazon. Still a better deal than anywhere else. As a NEW AT&T customer I would have spent $199 on the phone at the AT&T store. I was all about to buy a Vibrant yesterday for 70 bucks on Amazon when I found the penny deal on the Captivate. So here I am.
Difference is, when you buy it from the AT&T store, they cover your warranty for the year - and their warranty is great.
If you buy it anywhere else, you have to deal with Samsung directly unless you get lucky and AT&T ships you a replacement regardless.

Not so much a mistake, I am happy with my purchase. It's just the price that we pay to get the best in tech before everyone else.
I've never done that before, and used to tout that my motorola karma was pretty much the same thing as a smartphone.
Obviously I had no clue what I was talking about.

It's what I was told from AT&T and when I spoke to Letstalk, Wifefly and so on. But FWIW, people have stated that they just called AT&T and they sent them a replacement - but that could just be a YMMV. I would try to verify as well before you add insurance in case you don't need to.
But for $.01, I'm jealous!
Amazon has such a great rep that I doubt they'd have entered the Wireless sales business without some assurances from carriers. Wirefly has a shady rep from what I was able to google.
i paid full retail cause i wasnt up for upgrade... and thats for two phones too.. -_-. bye 1000
The thing many of you guys are not realizing is that this price and other similar deals are for completely new accounts only. Upgrades or even new family plan lines will bump up the price to $100-150. Under the circumstances most of the people I know who paid for Captivates, they wouldn't have saved any more money if they had waited, as everyone I know who has a Captivate was already an AT&T customer.
And quite frankly, while the Captivate is a great phone, it's not worth putting up with AT&T over if you're on a good carrier, especially since there is/will be a Galaxy S for all major carriers.

True, but reading through Amazons policy, they only support the phone for 30 days - as do all online retailers besides AT&T itself (they have a full year). Other online retailers pass the warranty to Samsung. But for the period Amazon does cover it - they have great customer service.
I'm not saying that's bad as I never dealt with Samsung for warranty purposes. I just know that AT&T deals with warranty issues very well. But regardless, $.01 for this phone is an amazing deal. The chance of needing a replacement post-30 days might not even occur for you - and if it does - you can always try AT&T for replacement.
Just sold my iPhone a good hefty amount Wheres the best place to get out of contract pricing? 400 isnt much, but I've heard of people getting it for 300? Anyone know where?
Also, my two year ends 02/26/2011, do I qualify for the upgrade pricing from Costco which is 79.99 or do I have to wait until that date?
Alex
Yeah, go to Costco and ask them if you qualify for the early upgrade right now. If not, wait until the 26th... its a great price. ($79) I tried yesterday but they turned me down for an early upgrade, told me to go to the corporate store, and I can get it there. Try your luck!
Would love to know where I can buy one online at a reasonable price with no service contract.
att.com don't sell them without a service contract so that is out
AT&T stores have it retailed for 399.99 without commitment. They probably need more than a few in stock to sell it to you but that's the cheapest I have seen.
Just got mine today from ATT off contract $399 seems to be the cheapest right now anywhere. Seems kinda odd that they wouldn't sell u one.

Seen eBay prices as low as $320. Could probably dip below $300 in a week. I trust eBay more than say, small obscure handset websites, because I've never had a problem bidding on a phone and getting what I wanted in a timely manner, but when it came to an actual online retailer, they would give me the run-around on shipping or send me a defective product.
sometimes http://www.wirefly.com has good deals on early upgrades.
Just got mine at BB for 324 plus tax. That was no contract price.
I got a pretty good early upgrade yesterday.
I have 2 lines, 1 shows ready for upgrade and the other addon line shows eligible on 4/24/11. Contract is up in August.
I went to a corporate store and they said 99 for the normal upgrade and 399 for the other.
I went home and called customer service and got the same story.
I then asked them what charges I would have if I cancel my account early.
They told me and after a couple of min. they gave me the retention rep.
Ended up getting 2 new Inspires, free shipping, for 79.99 each!

The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.
Att store used an early upgrade for a non data enabled line for us and it was $300 and put on the data enabled line for me, but then i gave it to my wife. THEN the data stopped working for her line and we had to call and explain because there was something that needed to be enabled on her line for the 4g phone, EVEN though att was out of the 4g cards. So we have to go back to the store to get the 4g card i was supposed to get, but going to get for her line now.
Untill i buy another one. Maybe today. But that will probably be the full 400 price. Ill check bestbuy store see if its cheaper

Has anyone NOT living in an LTE area managed to get it for $149 either in person or online?
What is a ZIP code I can put in that will show up as a $149 area? I want to see if I can put that in, then proceed with checkout and see if it will let me do it.
If not I may just put in a ZIP code that gives a $149 price and then take a screenshot and see if Best Buy will price match based on what it shows on there.
Maybe it'll be a bit better if you listed where you lived. Someone in your area may chime in. There are so many zip codes that's offering it. I got mine at Manhattan, NY for $149 @ AT&T store.
Ours is $149.
I got it for 149 by calling customer service. I got to upgrade over 2 months early, they have me the cheaper price, and waived the upgrade fee. 95670 is my zip. You can see I was supposed to be charged 249.

They wouldn't budge for me. They say that my only options are to buy it for $249 online or in store, or over the phone for $349 (yeah, thats with 2 year upgrade!) so I guess I just have to wait until a better deal comes along unless Best Buy will price match.
Walmart has it for $199 via LetsTalk. Amazon has it for $189. The Best Buys in my area usually will accept Amazon pricematching.

I am not officially eligible for upgrade until December 1st, but AT&T agreed and notated the account to let me upgrade early but retailers can't see that, they can only see that I am not yet officially eligible for upgrade. So I can either upgrade in an AT&T store or over the phone until December 1st, and as I said they would not give me the discounted price over the phone.
I got in Huntington Beach California for 149 in Att store
I got mine by calling the ATT customer service line and telling them my friend in California(91101) just called and got his for 149 and I wanted to know why I had to pay more. After that I used the old I don't want to switch carriers but ... After that they agreed to sell to me for 149. I had to buy it from them though(over the phone). FYI I live in FL.

I called and told them I was having problems with my phone and that I had gone through all the steps Apple told me to (I have an iPhone 4) and that it didn't resolve the issue and since it was out of warranty repair wasn't an option. I then told them that a friend of mine had been allowed to upgrade early when he was having problems with his phone and since it was only a month early and I had always been a good customer, never behind on payments or anything and that I wanted to upgrade early.
They put me on hold for about 5 minutes and when they came back they said I could upgrade but with them only, so either over the phone or in person at an AT&T store because they say it is impossible to change your official upgrade date, all they do is put a note on your account stating that you have been approved for an early upgrade and retailers (like Walmart, Best Buy, etc) do not have access to those notes so you could only upgrade with AT&T. I decided to just wait because I would end up paying $50 more for the same phone to buy it from AT&T.
I did find out some good news though, with AT&T upgrades are by the month, even at retailers. So if your upgrade date is 12-29-11 you can still upgrade on December 1st at any retailer you would like. When they check your eligibility it will say you are eligible. Helpful for people with upgrade dates in the middle or end of the month, not so helpful for people like you and me whose upgrade date is at the beginning of the month anyway.

Thanks for your info.
I thought this deal required its own thread. Amazon is selling the HTC One X in gray for $49.99 on ANY family plan line. Unlike the the Radio Shack deal which requires you to be the primary on the line, Amazon does NOT require that.
Here I was, with my $400 saved, thinking this phone was going to be $299 + $55 CA tax + $36 Activation fee... and I end up spending $50 total.
For that price, the Galaxy S3 is not even an afterthought.
Couple of questions -
1. If there are any problems with the phone, do I have to return it to AT&T, Amazon, or HTC?
2. What do I have to do to keep my unlimited plan if I order on Amazon, just call AT&T afterwards?
1. I believe you have to return it to Amazon for the first 14 or 30 days. Afterward, I would assume AT&T.
2. I also have an unlimited plan. The process is as follows:
Call AT&T and let them know you're going to be getting your phone through Amazon which requires a data plan change. If he's a knowledgeable rep, he will annotate your account and will tell you to call them as soon as you receive your equipment so they can revert you back to the unlimited plan. It took me 3 different reps, but the 3rd rep guaranteed me that he will annotate that in my account and verified with his supervisor that its possible to revert back without any issues.
Order through Amazon and choose any data plan, preferably the $30 dollar plan (cheapest one).
everyone i have talked to about ordering through amazon and keeping the unlimited data has said to order OVER THE PHONE. This ensures you keep your data plan instead of them saying "hey you selected this plan and are screwed"

I thought this deal required its own thread. Amazon is selling the HTC One X in gray for $49.99 on ANY family plan line. Unlike the the Radio Shack deal which requires you to be the primary on the line, Amazon does NOT require that.
Here I was, with my $400 saved, thinking this phone was going to be $299 + $55 CA tax + $36 Activation fee... and I end up spending $50 total.
For that price, the Galaxy S3 is not even an afterthought.

Whoa!! Thanks OP.. This is really great. Had pre-ordered for $149.99 on Amazon ( me too in the money hungry CA !!) . Was thinking of cancelling the order and re-ordering it, called customer care instead and they took care of it (Amazon--FTW!)
This is truly unbelievable .. Grey ATT HTC One X for $49.99 !! (psst.. dint order grey bcoz of the lower price.. i wanted a grey itself!) .. Yippppeeee...

Amazon has absolutely nothing to do with keeping your unlimited data plan. They don't have the power to do anything about that.
I too called Amazon first. And they simply said that's something AT&T will have to take care of.
the only thing that has me curious is about the exchange policy....i really hate getting a new phone and something being wrong with it. I returned my captivate 3 times, and my inspire 4g twice to finally get a "good" one.
Apparently through Amazonwireless, you can't exchange phones, only return it. So, if you get a good one, then you got a good deal.......but if you don't, then you are kinda screwed.
Hmm debating this... but I really wanted the white.
Anyone do a cancel with ATT on the pre-order? I checked my upgrade status and it says 2014 on the line. I would need to cancel... and see how quick they unlock the upgrade...

I cancelled my original Amazon preorder and preordered this gray version immediately afterwards without a problem. Not sure if ATT works the same.
at radioshak the guy said he will price match to online 49.99 so will i be able to get a white one there for that price ?
Worth a try but probably not. This whole thing started w/ radioshack selling the gray HOX for 49.99 on family plan's primary line, and Amazon price-matched radioshack. Hence only the gray HOX is 49.99 while the white remains 149.99.
Given that radioshack is the company that started the low price, I assume they have good reason driven by demand not to lower the cost of the white one.
Does anyone know what I need to do to get Radio shack to match the price on Amazon? I already have a pre order in place. Do I need to print out the AmazonWireless page or something? Thanks!
man.. I really REALLY hope this deal is on until the SGS3 announcement..

I think you can return phones on Amazon Wireless right?? And we still have 30 days to return it without any penalty right?? I heard somewhere they add another $250 on top of the $350 if we cancel the contract after the 30 day period??
sounds great. im a fan of amazon mobile they have great deals and fast processing and shipping.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
So If I preordered for an upgrade for family plan line, they will do a price match at this point right?
placed my order on the 26th of April for $150... I can cancel and re-order with the new price right? I chose grey both times anyway.

I think someone else said that they just called amazon and they refunded the $100 difference
