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.

I ordered two phones from Cellhub, but don't expect them for a little while still. They're supposed to ship today, then probably 3-4 days shipping (just a guess).
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. NO THANK U Take my $ an business to more reputable people, Tmobile
So I wired my younger brother the money to pick up my phone in the US and send it back with my grandparents who are there visiting... He went to AT&T today and they denied him the ability to purchase me the phone off contract. He said he tried for a little, but they kept saying that they would not sell it to him off contract. I told him to try and go back if he can, but he might not be able to due to work and my grandparents leaving soon.
Can AT&T actually deny selling the phone off contract? I told him that if he is able to go back, to tell them that it is being sold from AT&T stores for $549.00 and to ask how it is possible for them to deny the sale.
I understand that they dont make money selling phones, but rather the service, but to just deny him is crazy...
Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?
Thanks everyone! Have been at this android thing for almost a year and I am still without one...
I have never heard of them denying someone to purchase a phone off contract. Tell him to go to Target or Wal Mart they sell att phones off contract.

I'm not sure if there is one near him unfortunately... I guess I should mention he lives in Boston at the moment, not cool on the part of the AT&T he went to.
Do you happen to know how much Walmart and Target are selling them for?
they can deny anything to anyone. but you can buy it on there website. they dont want to run out and are hoping that this will attract many new contracts so they prefer to sell to new subscribers. my att reps dont care either way and i had the option to buy outright, i shoulda taken that option but it is too late now. im not sure if i can cancel an early upgrade in the first month like a new contract.

about $50-$100 more as far as i can tell but some regions are jacking up the price even in the at store. i think it is $579 on att's website. my store is $549 but some stores may be $600 or more
Is he a ATT customer. It is true they wont sell to non customers and they dont have to.
Crazy how some places jack up the price like that. The reason I cannot order it online is because I would have to pay a 16% tax for it to get through customs here in the Dominican Republic. So i have been trying to coordinate with friends and family that have been in the US and this was my big chance so say.
Pretty annoyed about this, seems like everytime I try to get a phone i am unsuccesful for one reason or another. Already had the issue with the G2X not being quad-band.
I hope he was able to go back this evening and get it... Not sure what to do next if that doesn't work out.
Ya. Inspire was $399 off contract at att. Went to buy at best buy because I had a 10% coupon and they wanted $599 for the thing! No.thanks! I'd call corporate and complain about the store. Either way its bad customer service for them to turn you down like that. "Can I give you $550 for this item" rep "no" ... "only $199" doesn't make sense. I'd raise hell. I realize they make money off the data plans and.contracts and how att works but either way you look at it that's poor customer relations and incorrect information directly from a.corporate store.

+++ Inventory is thin right now. They would rather sell that phone with a contract, which they probably did short after. Or if not, at least sell to a current customer.

Yes, AT&T rep told me that first couple of weeks no AT&T store will sell a new phone without contract.
You have to go to bestbuy for that. I bought mine there for $599 without contract.
Another option is online purchase from AT&T's website for $549 without contract, but there may be some issues with that.

Just happened to me today as i got my Infuse...
ATT store said that they do not sell new phones off contract for the first month after release....
I had to go to Radio Shack to buy the phone...
Ok, right to the point, I need some money, real fast. I had an idea and need to know if it will work. Could I sell my inspire for about $300, keep my sim card, buy a cheap phone, like, an iphone2G, pop in the sim, and use it just like nothing happend, would that work? or would I have to do someting in order for it to work. My bill is due on thursday and im not gonna be able to pay it. It must be payed by then or they will shut off my service. I love this phone, but I need the money, not just to pay my bill, but other reasons as well. What do you guys think? I can always go back and buy a better phone later on, not worried about that now.
Opinions needed.
I think you'll have a hard time gettin $300 out of it when they can be had for so much cheaper now, new.

That's really dependent on its condition and how good a salesman you are or how bad the potential buyer wants the phone..

A quick check on eBay shows many used Inspire auctions in progress with bids in the $250 - $300 range. You can't compare a free phone at Best Buy to this, because that free phone comes with a $1500 contract. People will pay much higher than the carrier subsidized price to get a contract-free phone.

thats kinda what I was gonna say... I dont see whats wrong with $300 or maybe $250, its in MINT condition, its been in a otterbox defender the whole time, so absolutely nothing wrong with it. If i had to Id throw in the 16GB class 10 SD as well.
Edit: BTW Its about a month and a half old
My real question was, if i sell it, will who ever buys it be able to use it with their own SIM Card, since i still have service and am under contract, would i be able to keep my sim and use another phone?

I bought ans Aria, then about a year later, bought an Inspire using an upgrade option on another account, but I don't have any problems using the Aria SIM in my Inspire, nor any other combinations of phones and SIMs on the other accounts in my plan (I have 4 total accounts in my plan). Also, I loaned my wife's Aria to a friend that had some AT&T non-smart phone and he plugged his SIM into it and it worked fine. His wife has a data plan with her iPhone on the same account and it worked fine without even upgrading to another data plan.
In short, the SIM is the account and the phone doesn't matter. You shouldn't have any problems.
For a good comparison for asking price check craigslist.org. See what they are going for on there. You could also post an ad to sell it there.
Yeah y would u compare contract price with no commitment price.
U can easly get in between 250 to 325 depending on the condition and accecories you have.

Exactly, 300 is a fair price and what is to be expected for a fairly used contract free Inspire. A new one can go as high as 425 off contact.

Reminds me of a joke from "Larry The Cable-Guy" about crashing your truck to get the insurance money to make the truck payment....
One thing you'll need to do is call AT&T to change your data plan to an iPhone data plan. Nothing will change with the rate, but they have two types of plans. One is a smartphone plan that our Inspires use. The other is an iPhone plan with the same data/cost, but they need to know or you won't be able to do anything on it. Other than that, yes, you should be able to do this no problem.

I've decided its time to move on from my trusty inspire but would like some feedback as it relates to purchasing a One X.
Currently, both walmart and amazon have the phone at $119.98. If I walk into an ATT Corp store, I'm looking at $250+.
I know many people purchased from amazon back when they had that great deal before the phones release, and I would appreciate feedback from both amazon customers and walmart.

Walmart only carries the black one in store, other than that it is really no different than going to an AT&T store.
If you don't have the unlimited data to keep, you can buy from anywhere. They are the same. Otherwise, it is a hassle to call AT&T to get your unlimited data back because 3rd party online retailers can't let you keep them. I had one experience with Walmart store. Let's put this way, the guy behind the counter has no idea what is a SIM card and why there is a need for SIM card for my AT&T phone. The activation process asked him to get a new SIM card and he had no idea how it looks. Then when he found it and activated my phone, he promptly threw the SIM card into the trash bin. Walmart online runs through a different outlet (wirefly or something).
Got my HOX yesterday from Best Buy. Called ahead and they pricematched amazon for me. Called 2 att stores before and neither could match. just a heads up if anyone reading is interested.
Amazon is excellent. 30 days no questions asked return policy and at least where I live no Sales Tax.
The only caveat is if you're on an unlimited data plan you'll have to add a tiered plan instead then call AT&T and get them to switch you back.
Amazon was very good to me as well.
I've also heard that Walmart isn't bad either.
Still, I would go with Amazon.
I would love to use amazon and or Walmart/bestbuy etc but they don't deal with business accounts, which sucks...

I have a business account and I added a line just fine through amazon.
FYI to anyone attempting to get this deal. It only applies to people who are new customers to att. If you are already in the system the price of the phone would be 179.99 to add a line. Also if you try to cheat the system and get the line in your girlfriends name and then take over responsibility with your account, they will charge you a fee. It has to be a totally new line of service and kept for 6 months to qualify for the $119 price.

I'm not seeing anything that says it has to be new customer @ Amazon. They even have an upgrade check tab on the site of the phone, though I am not happy with having to change the plan to try to get the lower price. I went to AT&T store before I knew about this deal and asked them to PM Radio Shack's 179.00 price and they wouldn't so I bolted. Only probem is that RS only offers in white. Need the Gray one for myself. I should try to call AT&T and biotch about the plan thing but only in advance not after buying and then hoping they revert the plan. I don't currently go above 3GB in a month but I'm on a WM6.5 and who knows where the Data usage will go on a new phone.

I would love to buy from Amazon, but I don't want to give up my 2GB data plan which I pay $20.50 for and my 1000 texts. If I buy from Amazon I won't have an option but to choose 3GB for $30 and either no texts or Unlimited for $20. So it is either pay $200 for the phone at AT&T and pay $30.50 for what I need or pay $120 and add $20 to my monthly bill. I would buy from Amazon if I knew I could get back my data and text plans. I just don't trust I will be able to. Anyone with experience in this matter? Have you been successful in getting back your features/services after buying from a third party?
I price matched at Best Buy. Total came out to be around $160 with tax. However, they allowed me to keep unlimited data, which is more than worth it IMO.

If I buy from Amazon I won't have an option but to choose 3GB for $30 and either no texts or Unlimited for $20. So it is either pay $200 for the phone at AT&T and pay $30.50 for what I need or pay $120 and add $20 to my monthly bill. I would buy from Amazon if I knew I could get back my data and text plans. I just don't trust I will be able to. Anyone with experience in this matter? Have you been successful in getting back your features/services after buying from a third party?

I got mine from amazon and kept my 2GB plan. You can just ask AT&T to change the plan back when you call them to activate your new phone. They'll do it.

No. I'm usually telling them how to do their job because they're clueless.
I got mine at Sam's club. They were on sale for $98

So I am thinking about starting a contract with T-Mobile because they get decent service where I live and from what I have heard they are cheap. So my question is when I go to set up an account with them will I need to have any cash to sign up? I am broke till payday but really need a phone. If anyone knows I would really appreciate the help. Oh and also I just need 1 line if you have an account with just one line on it could you please tell me what plan you use and what your average bill is. Thanks in advance!
If you sign-up and get a free phone, you will only need a credit card. This way they can charge $1 to it to make certain you're worthy. Of course this is online where you will find the best deals. The stores usually do not have very good deals.
Also I was looking through the Market forum today and found another website http://www.wirefly.com that is seemingly legit to me (I checked my upgrade eligibility and it worked as it should). The deals there are great.
Hope this helps. BTW... T-Mobile has the worst customer care ever, and Asurion, their insurance company, are thieves. Just another FYI.
