Even more glad I got in on the Wal-Mart deal now.

Nothing makes me feel more warm and fuzzy than 2.4GB of free data, split up over 12 mos, in order to contractually obligate my business to them for the next 2 years!
LOL I jest, I'm pleased with tmo ATM, so I'm not *****ing. But it is pretty damn lame compared to other promotions they have had, especially Father's Day last year.

Yes it seems kinda lame, do the math though and it's not so bad.
250 upfront for the phone
50 mail in rebate and a 120 bill credit=80 for the phone.
Better that the wallmart deal, it just takes some time for it to pay off.

i was getting worried about having to return my sensation to walmart to go for a better deal @ tmo..

I don't understand.
What if you have a $30 / month data plan.
Wouldn't that be a savings of $360?

Ah, I see the grayed out text at the bottom now, barely readable so as to hide it from customers.
The graphic in the picture says one year of free data without any asterisk at all, not one year of free $10 data.
Isn't that illegal false advertising? Jerks. I hate when companies do that.

& to think I almost waited for the Sat sale. Need to look closer @ details & see if we can access this for our grandfathered plans, I'm not giving that up. Wish I'd picked up those free phones for my kids in Feb, arghhhhh!

The word from my market manager is that there will not be any more free phone sales (like last year's father's day sale) because of high fraud / cancellation rates.
This market manager is not a very reliable source ( calling her an idiot is an insult to idiots everywhere ) but this makes sense now that we know what the sale is.

FYI, if you are adding a new line or are a new customer, tmo currently has the MT4G and SGS 4G for free if you do it online. One of the phones ends today, but the other one doesn't expire until Thursday. Won't work for upgrades, buy if you are adding a line for your kid, this is the way to go. Pull the trigger quick though.

Great Customer Service!
I went to a local store here in Fremont to get my first look at the Sensation and asked about the Father's Day special. A salesperson named Candice answered my questions and handed me a Sensation to play with. I asked for her business card and told her I would be back on Sunday, thinking that was the day of the promotion. I then went to find my wife and daughter at the Michael's craft store next door. About 15 minutes later, I run into Candice while shopping inside Michael's! She realized that I was mistaken about the day of the sale and actually ran next door to find me and tell me it was on Saturday!
I know that she probably gets a commission on phones that she sells, but I still think it was very kind of her to find me and tell me the correct date. Imagine if I had shown up on Sunday and was told that the promotion was the day before!
So to thank her for her kindness I am telling her story here on the forum in the hopes that some of you will buy a Sensation from her. Let's see if we can help her get the "Employee of the Month" award! I don't know if my credit will qualify for a two-year contract, but I intend to find out on Saturday! Wish me luck!
If any of you live in the Fremont, CA area and are planning on buying a Sensation, please go to the T-Mobile store at the corner of Mowry Ave & Fremont Blvd (store address 39172 Argonaut Way) and ask for Candice.

A little extra for you folks I found today over at fatwallet. After you get your phone head over to this link and follow the instructions to get a 125$ visa card if you are a NEW T-mo customer.
http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1099398/
So 250-50 mir-50 sensation promo-120 fathers day-125 for switching to Tmo= they are paying you 95 bucks to get this phone on Fathers Day. I'd say that's a bit better than a free phone.

Nice, dude! Good lookin out, thanks for sharing.

G2x for $49 with instant rebate and free activation on new 2 years and upgrades!

Yo, I just preordered my G2X for $49 and free activation with 2 day Fed Ex Shipping! Yo, I didn't believe it neither, but check it out below:
http://daburghspot.blogspot.com/2011/04/g2x-for-49-with-instant-rebate-and-free.html
Figured people would want to know!
With all the trouble people are having with Wirefly in the other thread, this is an alternative. This company is a direct affiliate of T-mobile, check out their site for more company info on them. But they offer the newest handsets at the cheapest I've seen yet for new activations. I believe they even have the Sidekick 4g for below $49.
If this don't help you, pass on to somebody who can take advantage of this offer. I know I did!
Update: Phone is now $99.99

G2X + Contract from T-Mobile
I've been off contract from T-Moblile for over ten years and was getting nervous about the AT&T crud. I decided that I didn't want to be caught without a decent plan at the time of the sale and have AT&T force me into one of their crap plans.
Called up TMO, asked them what my options were; told them I DID NOT want a 2gb throttling ceiling; and would prefer to keep my Loyalty plan (5gb throttling ceiling) but to put under a contract.
Much to my surprise and pleasure, the rep told me they would keep all the terms of my existing plan (unlimited everything) and give me the 79.99 price of their new plan. Saved me about $10.00 dollars a month!
.... and I bought the G2X for the $199 price.

Yes, I see it is a little more for you, but the prices change depending on your situation. But it's a guaranteed $49 for new activations, whether you add a line or just opening an account, plus with all the problems people in the Wirefly thread (shipping), it really starts looking like a good deal, especially with 2 day Fed EX delivery, you will have your phone on the 20th if you order it today!

To be honest, in my opinion I'd go for the G2X. Just for the simple reason of it being flagship, along with Sidekick 4G and the Gslate.
I really don't see T-mobile cutting into those sales at least for a few months.
We probably ain't gonna see the Sensation until mid summer and then even then I'm pretty sure the G2X will hold value, you could just sell it.

Very shady site! Not in a good way IMO Thye recalculate the price of the phone on every little choice ya make an thier plans are all higher price than t mobile an thier ETF are higher to. plus in terms an conditions they make you agree to pay thier legal fees if they have to use legal means against you.

G2x for $149 or less as an upgrade

This forum helped me a lot answering my question so now it's time for me to contribute a little to it.
I don't know about new activations, I'm just talking about my case which is an upgrade and I've been with T-mobile for 5 years already.
My contract has ended for a while so now it's time for an upgrade and I waited for this fone as the GS2 takes too long to come out. So I did a little research online and found out that I can match the price of this phone (currently $199 after mail in rebate on Tmobile website or store) with Wirefly's price at $149 using a promotion code "courtesy" when calling them.
First, don't talk to a regular representative, they have no power to reduce the price, ask to talk to Customer Loyalty, and insist on it if they refuse to transfer u to them. Then just tell them that a friend or other people can match the price with Wirefly. In my case, they even lowered the price to $103 after taxes and shipping, no rebate watsoever. I have a 3 lines family plan with them, I don't know if it helps, but for the price, it's great compared to other people that have to buy them at $149+tax. I'm pretty sure some of u got the fone for free, I don't know how u guys did it, please tell us how.
I got it free Cuz they. Screwed me over on data for 3 months... and they sent me two broken vibrants as refurbished ones..... I was in the process of canceling when the manager came on and offered two new phones I got this one and saving my next free one for sgs2 if it comes to T-Mobile. I have two lines and only been a customer for 11 months. Just gotta know how to talk to them

Wow, that's a great deal u've got. But ur case is very special cuz they screw u up. At least u got a really good deal on the phones. I guess because I'm not born here in the USA or else I'd get a better deal than that, lol
sorry to bump this but it sort of goes along with my question
on october 27 i'll be eligible for my 22 month upgrade, but can i upgrade earlier and still get the phone for $149? when i'm logged into mytmobile account it shows that the g2x is $149 after rebates but since i'm not exactly eligible to upgrade, would i still get the rebate?
basically i can't stand my current phone anymore and i don't think i can wait a month and a half haha
Go through the checkout and see. You probably will only get a partial discount. I suggest waiting it out to see what the nexus prime is all about...

If you were looking online a couple weeks ago, you would've gotten them free with a 2-year contract or add-on line.

i'm going to try it, i'm just not sure if upgrading early will affect my contract price in any way. and i just looked up the nexus prime a little bit and found this "It’s said that the Nexus Prime’s screen could be as big as 4.65-inches." that is way too big for me

Ouch... Good point. I like 4" and would settle for 4.3" but no higher.
As far as upgrading early, it will just start your new 2-year contract from the date that you actually upgrade, not an extension onto the end. At least that's how my partial upgrade was a few years back. If you have 2 or more lines and can stick it out a while longer, T-Mobile's new $99/mo unlimited for 2 lines is awesome if they're still running the promotion. Unlimited calls, texts, and 2GB data for each line (throttled after 2GB). But it requires that you're not under a contract when you sign the new plan or there are some pretty hefty migration fees. Just food for thought.
Got mine at CostCo as a 2year contract upgrade for $149, then they sent me a $50 gift card, so $99 out of my pocket. Later they had it for $79 out of pocket.
i'm about to order it soon... it will be $149 with mail in rebate so i'm happy with that my g1 was more than that when i bought it haha

New G2x for less

Hi, I got my G2x recently and love it with all the customization I did on it. Now I want to buy one for my wife, but do not want go for another contract and monthly rate. My wife already has a prepaid account with t-mobile.
So if I buy the phone today (coming for free with 2yr contract) and cancel the account after 20 days and pay them around $270 ($200 ETF + $35 Activation + around $35 for 20 days of service), will there be anything wrong?
Hope T-mobile will not ask me to return the phone if I it is after 20 days and I pay the ETF.
Did anyone has done this in past?
thats how i got my g2x to start with..i paid the 199$ with 50$ rebate so 149$ paid etf after 15 days 200$ paid 349$ when phone was 500$ outright.
they said nothing.

Thanks for confirming that. At less than 300 its a nice phone to have..
If you can do that you are getting an excellent price for this device new. I paid $255 plus shipping for an excellent condition used device. New ones from reputable websites cost over $450.00. You are fulfilling your obligation under the contract you agreed to so I see nothing wrong in doing this. This type of practice is why Verizon raised their ETF fees. People were getting new phones, paying a $150 cancellation fee and then selling the devices on eBay for more than double what they paid.
Try going to Target. My local target just gave me an amazing deal. They have much more leniance when it comes to upgrades and new plans. Im on a family plan with 5 lines. Only 2 were eligable for upgrade. He gave us 4 phones at upgrade price while only upgrading 2 lines. Three G2X's @ $149.99 each.
I just ordered the G2x for my wife. Wish there was a way to tell t-mobile that I really do not need 20 days of service and want to cancel now
Go on ebay, you can find a bunch of these phones on their now.

Minimum I could find is $315. And ebay purchases always have issue with warranty. So getting form t-mobile for less than $300 is much better.
Wow. you guys are brilliant. lol. I think i'm gonna try that now that the g2x is free.
If it works out then great. I'd make sure to read through any fine print very carefully before making any commitment to sign or cancel the contract. Are there special conditions/fees when you're getting the handset for free?
Yea he has to carry the data plan on that line also for the.partial month so that's another small fee you have to figure in plus activation fee.

I added everything in my first post:

Service = 35 for 21 days. ((50/30) * 21)
total = 270 + tax...
Everything should come for less than 300.
Right on.

You are right about eBay. No warranty as they are resales and/or not authorized resellers. The warranty is for original purchaser from authorized sales channel only. eBay and Craigslist are not authorized sales channels. Go the T-Mobile route and have a warranty. Good catch. Enjoy your low cost phones.
This should be stickied, haha. Tmobile would be getting all kinds of people doing this.
dont make a habit of buying phones!! I have a pretty long list of them, anyways Ill probably being selling a sensation for a g2x and $140 today. Just not a fan of sense UI!

That's one of the reasons I bought a G2X and imported it to Thailand. The 2X models sold here have the god awful LG UI, which appears to be a mimic of the Samsung CrapUI. I hate them all. I prefer plain Android UI thank you. Plus the demo unit I saw at the LG store at a local mall here had more craplications on it then I have ever seen before. Three or four screens of them. Way more than the few apps T-Mobile forces upon us.
Yea MIUI is running pretty nice on mine. Loaded up Go Launcher and I'm pretty happy.
Really happy with this phone. Lots of development for it. CM7, MIUI, custom stock, OC/UV kernels. Very nice.

If you bought the Skyrocket at $249.99 I got GREAT NEWS!

I just called the Customer Service of AT&T with the argument that I pay $100 bucks extra for the SGSII Skyrocket aditional from other customers that bought it from $149.99 only. After a little talk with the rep. guess what? They refound me $100 dollars to my account as a credit ... I have to say that I'm more than happy! For you guys that try this, good luck!
I hope more people can take advantage of this. I happen to live in a market that won't see LTE until the 1st or 2nd quarter next year and only paid $149.99 from a local corp. store. They should price it the same everywhere (corp stores that is) imho...
Just picked mine up for $149 @ best buy...told them about the att store and online then they price matched. And no $35 restocking fee

Strange... I called At&t on Monday and asked if I could upgrade early (I wasn't eligible for an upgrade until January 15th). Not only was I told yes, but I was given the $150 price for the Skyrocket. And in my zipcode it was coming up as 250 online.
Plus, I was told they will waive the upgrade fee. (I still have to call now that I have the phone to make sure that happens).
All I did was just ask nicely for the upgrade and the rest just happened. Now I've got my phone and I couldn't be happier.

i want to early upgrade too! how many months do i have left on current contract to be eligible?
I bought mine for $149.99 also. I called AT&T and complained about the fact that I had to pay $249 when others in CA or NY have only to pay $149.
After 30min on the phone the answer was still "no we can't do anythinbg the best price I can offer you is $239" When I told her that I could buy the same phone for $199 at walmart or Radioshack she said she was sorry but could do more.
I told her it was sad because at least Verizon and T-Mobile are not changing their price depending of the city and then I asked to talk to a manager.
The manager was "not available" but I got the promise he will call me asap. One our later, I got a phone call, the price was accepted, $149.
It was worth the time
Am I the only one who would rather pay the $100 than spend 30+ minutes on the phone with an ATT CSR?
Hmm my local ATT store asked me what area code showed 149.99, but ones I knew that should have showed 149 seemed 250 and he said he cant bring down the price.
What area code shows 149 still from ATT website.
If you bought it from Bestbuy, just print out a screen shot of the AT&T website showing $149 and they will refund you the $100. I attempted only 1 time and had no problem.

I don't see it for $149 on the AT&T site. It's $249.
Not cool..

Whenever I get home I am going to do this.... Those extra $135 will definitely help!! ($100 for phone + $35 restocking)

Tried this with 2 different reps.... no dice.
Before my upgrade, my account expires next month. Told them ill return the phone, and move to verizon as "it seems your company has a $100 mark up" on this device.
Was pretty much told good luck with verizon. LOL

I just went to Bestbuy and showed them the price on my phone. So he looked on their computers and it said $250 and that it was because my zip was in Oklahoma City on my phone(I used the zipcode a few posts back). I just said my parents moved out there, and after this semester of school I would be moving too. I just said I didn't want to return it and have to have my parents buy it and ship it to me.
He asked a manager and they approved it. Probably didn't want to lose store numbers on contract renewals and bit the hundred bucks.
I would advise saying you didn't want to have to return it and buy it there if your zip is different, they want to keep their numbers up.

[SOLVED] Where to buy a Galaxy S Blaze?

Hi fellows!
I’m about to fly to US and I’ll need a phone in there. BUT, being an Android user and an avid XDA reader, I know I should buy ONLY telephones that can have unlocked bootloader and at least a CM kang rom option. (once you leave a stock rom, there’s no going back!)
Well, it seems this Blaze 4G is the best phone I can get. Sure, it rom scene it’s still gearing up, but I have hopes it’ll get better by the end of the year – I have hopes we’ll get at least CyanogenMod support somewhere down the road.
So, my big question to you guys is: how much did you pay for your Blaze 4G on a Monthly4G plan?
Through T-mo website, there’s a good offer for me – 299 with a 50US card. BUT, I’m not sure I’ll be able to buy it from the web. Is this offer available in a brick and mortar store – WalMart, BestBuy, Target, anywhere else?
It’s really a simple question and I’m just trying to provision myself for this long trip.

Well, thanks XDA fellows for all answers. I guess I have enough info for now.
I bought mine on Ebay. For my monthly 4G, I went to Walmart and bought on of those cheap flip phones, took the Sim card and activated the $30/mo plan which gives Unlimited Text, 100 voice minutes, and 5GB of 4G before you are throttled to 2G speeds.

You can get it from a T-Mobile store. But to get a plan you'll need a social security number.

im getting ready to pick one of these up for my daughter at walmart. price listed for me with a 2 yr agreement upgrade on her line is only 18.88
UPDATE: so i didnt get it at walmart, went to the tmobile store. paid 150 for it, but got a 50 dollar rebate and got a 50 credit on my next bill, so total was 50 bucks plus tax. now my 12 year old daughter has a better phone than both me and my wife LOL
I bought mine at t-mobile my plan is close to minimal with 500 minutes 2gbs of 4g then unlimited 3g after its used up and unlimited text. But i dont have insurance its practically useless when i can fix any software malfunction myself. I pay $73 and change a month for a single line i personally think thats expensive but all well.
