Has anyone else gotten this deal texted to them? - Thunderbolt General

My mom got a text from Verizon saying we could get the TB for $100 and also get a $100 credit that we could use for another phone. Has anyone else gotten this?

amazon
amazon says 129$ right now with free shipping. I saw a tweet that mentioned will be free on monday (memorial day)

Yea, I read about that. But me and my mom can't go through amazon cause we're getting a deal off the plans from Boeing

Is this also work for upgrading because I will take another family members upgrade to snag a free thunderbolt if so

tweet: thunderbot free from where?
Where was the free thunderbolt being offered from on memorial day? It wouldn't be from amazon. Retsilers don't give better temporary discounts within the return period of an existing discount. It wouldn't make any since to have to deal with all the returns/re-purchases fromthe $129.00 buyers.... could you possibly post a link to the tweet please????
Thanks in advance..... I would jump on a free thunderbolt for at least two of my lines, and save another two for late this year/early next year for when the mobile technology starts to temporarily peak out again

It may be $129 tomorrow (Memorial Day) on Amazon for upgrades. Maybe cheaper for new customers. Check it tomorrow. If it is $129, I will probably pull the trigger.

As a new customer for AT&T you are able to use an online promotion that takes $100 off almost any phone as long as you order online. I tried it for the Infuse and it works, but since we're already customers we don't have access to any $100 off promotion. I didn't buy my phone at AT&T so I can't try getting $100 back.

So I called them today to complain about feeling as though I was "slapped in the face" as a loyal customer (been with bellsouth/ATT wireless since 1997). After a little interrogation and some hemming & hawing she gave me the $100 credit (105.42 to be exact). This phone rocks pretty hard with a $100 price tag...lol. I'm glad more of you have called and done the same thing. While I understand the importance of marketing to obtain new business, current customers should not be left out in the cold. ;-)

Spoke to two reps this morning both said no. One regular rep, another was the online rep. The online rep said I should just return my current unused Infuse, cancel the order and line, and re-order a new one for the $99 price since I'm under my 30 days. Made an note of it as well.
I'd loose the activation fee and have to pay another. Any idea's?

Ask for the retention dept, be adamant about the online price and tell them you want the credit. When I called I told them my brother just order the same phone online and got it for 99, the Rep said she couldn't do anything so I asked for a supervisor. He is the one that authorized the credit. Trust me if it comes down to losing a contracted $79 month customer over a $100 credit they will give you a "one time courtesy" credit. You just need to be persistent...

AT&T Infuse for $450

Guys, if you were on the fence about buying, at full price, an Infuse, AT&T is listing them for $450 online and in-store. That means stores like Best Buy have to sell them the same price through their price-matching policy.
Best buy will only price match if they are selling it for that price at an AT&T store. If it's an online only deal they won't match it.

Are you kidding me? I did post in the General forum that i dropped my phone a couple of days ago and ask any feedbacks from anyone who dropped their phone and fixed it. But everyone told me that if i try fixing it, its best to get a new one. Thats why I said 100 cause i know much it cost to fix it. If i just add another line to my plan it wont be more then trying to fix it.

Atrix 2 $1 at Best Buy

I was thumbing through the weekly ads out of my local Sunday paper and i usually check best buy to see what movies are on sale for the week. I came across the phone part of the ad and it has the Atrix 2 for $1 on contract. Now for one it pisses me off because i paid $100.For two when places start to drop the price on phones that is a sign that the phone is on its way out. That has me a little worried. If a mod think this should be closed, go for it. I just wanted to point out the price drop. Comments are welcomed.

Not to elevate your pissed-offedness more, but I got my A2 in October for $50 bucks at Best Buy, two or three weeks after it released. A buck, huh? Maybe that's just a crazy weekend promo or is it a full running deal with new contract? Could be that it's a significant an impending approach to the release of the ATRIX 3...? Interesting.

Could be, I'm not so sure AT&T is doing so hot right now so its probably just an incentive to get new customers on a 2 year contract. Either way, the phone is pretty damn awesome (coming from iPhone 3GS -I'll never make that mistake again) and thank Jeebus for the devs!

Interesting...I've come to expect that in the land of Android, devices have a very short run and then the next not piece of hardware comes out just a few months later and what was, is no longer. It's kind of why i'm excited and sad at the same time about the prospect of me getting an SGS3. I have a feeling the device will be a has been come Christmas time
I don't think the phone is going anywhere anytime soon though man, the only way I was able to get mine for free was due to a price match back in November when Radio Shack had them for free w/2yr contract. Luckily mine wasn't 30 days old yet so I was able to get the price match via refund . Here we are 7 months later and it's still around....AT&T still selling them for $99. Now when AT&T drops it to free, then be worried And just a FYI, AT&T had it for the same price when I bought mine the end of October. Unless they run out of stock, I don't think it's going anywhere anytime soon.

T-Mobile price???

Sorry for the stupid question but how much does this device cost with a 2 yr contract with T-Mobile. The website says 149$ now but is that the final price or will the final price be 50$ after mail in rebate? And is the price gonna drop anytime soon(hopefully on September) I want this phone more than anything right now but 149 is just too damn much for me.

Yea I've had the chance many times but Im hopeful that the Christmas season and the possibility of the HTC one x + coming to T-Mobile will drop the price significantly. My phone upgrade is on the 18th of October so all these will hopefully lower the price to like 50$

Yes with 2 year contract! There is one weird thing that happed. I had an older data plan which had unlimited fot $20. It was before the time when T-Mobile introduced 2G/5 and 10GB plans. On all other phones that I had including: Galaxy S and S 4G, Galaxy Nexus, Nokia Win 7 phone and so on, I was able to use Wifi HotSpot with that old data plan. Now when I got HTC One S, it stopped working and every time I wanted to activate hotspot on my phone, a page would open up, stating that I need to pay for $15 extra... So I called customer care and told them the above story. She told me that my plan is old and about 6 months ago the company started to monitor and charge users for hotspot service. She said I would have to pay $35 total. So at the end I made her do it for $20 for 2 year. So now I have new plan with 5GB+hotspot. I think phones with Android 4+ t-mobile started to block users without hotspot plan. So you know.

Wow that sucks! I'm assuming that since you're on xda your phone is rooted which means you can get FREE wifi tethering apps in fact that's one of the main reason people root in the first place. You should look onto it if you don't already know by now. Its just what you need!

Instead of $19 per litigant, LG should have provided ICS and we would be happy with that but the lawyers must be paid their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ so they settled for the cash to get their $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$... Lawyers get the most $ out of any class-action lawsuit which is why class-action lawsuits are a farce.

I bought mine used, and I got the postcard.
I'm pretty sure T-Mobile is able to see what phone is being used on their network.
Oh well, 19 bucks is 19 bucks
I got my post card yesterday.
$19 is a ridiculuos amount. but something is better than nothing. Submitted my online claim today.
You don't need to have a claim form to get the money,go to LGPhoneSettlement.com to file a claim. I might get $28 because I had a replacement a few months after buying one.
I heard we get an additional $19 for each replacement phone too.. Which is nice since I got like 5
It is very mysterious how they knew what addresses to send them to.
The address I'm currently living at has never been on my t-mobile account. They're obviously pulling public records searches based on both purchase and usage data from T-Mobile.
I bought mine new from an eBay dealer and I also got one replacement from that dealer. The letter says that you have to had bought your phone from T-Mobile in order to get your $19 and that you might have to submit proof of this. I think it's just a load of BS on LG's part.

I got this as well and got rid of the g2x a few months after release. Thou i think they sent it out to all T-Mobile customers because my mom got one and she never owned a g2x.
