Walking into T-mo store, I was thinking the the Sensation is $199 with two year contract. Well it was $249 after mail in rebate. So I would have to pay $299 plus tax... Is that what they really are at every T-mo store? They were also telling me this deal where I pay $249 plus tax but I pay $10 a month for the phone for 20 months? That sounded ridiculous honestly.
That was just too much for me so I hit up my local costco and they have it for $129 after $50 mail in rebate.
They also give you a free bluetooth earpiece, leather case, and car charger on any new phone. Costco is the ****tt!!! BTW, their MT4Gs are 29.99. damn costco gots the hookup!!!
The $10 a month thing comes with a lower service plan cost.
Sams club has it for 180, no tax, and no activation fee.

There pricing is very similar to Costco. Is there a mail in rebate for that as well? If so, with no tax, Sams Club is offering one hell of deal as well!
I paid $179 + tax. $219.86 out the door. No activation fee and a $50 mail in rebate. I hate rebates but whatever, I'll take it. They also give you free accessories. bluetooth, car charger, and leather case. In the end, I've learned to never walk to into a T-mo store ever again. $299 - $50 rebate... JEEEZZZ

Are serious!!!!?
thats target online and you have to wait, costco they give you back your activation fee on your first bill. also you have a 90 return policy at costco... sams sucks, target sucks. if you want to buy a cell phone go to costco first. and the mytouch in my area is actually free
Sadly no mail in rebate. But still a heck of a deal.

Don't know if still is the same price but I got my sensation for $160, that includes tax, at walmart

Would you need a new 2 year contract with this deal they offer at costco or sams or can you get this deal if you already in a two year contract?? For the MT4G
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
One benefit of costco is that you can return your phone within 90 days and get a full refund or use it as a credit for another phone.
I am holding on to the sensation until the galaxy S II comes out. If I dont like the galaxy SII i can always go back to the sensation.
Oh how the times have changed.
I paid 149.99 for mine at Virgin Mobile Canada, no contract, phone on tab.
costco has a different phone on special each week. last week here the costco had the mytouch for free the galaxy 4g for 30. if you just wait to see when the phone goes on special you get a hell of a deal and if you get it then next week your phone goes lower you can ask for the price difference back with in the first 30 days. the Only down fall is they have different pricing for new contracts and upgrades.
I wasn't fully upgrade eligible, so my only reasonable choice was to go through T-Mobile. My.tmobile.com and the T-Mobile retail location bother wanted $329 before rebate + tax + upgrade fee. It would have cost like $375 up front and I'd get $50 back in the mail. I called customer loyalty and they gave it to me for $199 + tax, no rebate necessary and waived the upgrade fee and shipping cost. Total I paid $136 up front and the other $100 split over my next 3 months bills. In all I saved about $150 by calling. I didn't have to complain or threaten to cancel or anything like that.

My sister and brother inlaw both got theirs at target for $99 actually my brother inlaw traded his rooted hd2 in got a 105 back for it so he pretty much walked out with a free sensation.. in total they paid about 100 something for both phones.. I was shocked.. no rebates no nothing just a family 2 year contract
thanks for the heads up on target,, confirmed im picking one up tomorro in the store for 99....no extra fees just the "upgrade" fee (which i will try to get tmo to waive bc its ridiculous)... they also have a trade in option... I have an old blackberry 8900 curve they are going to give me $40 for.. In all, I will walk out with a new sensation for $60 !!!! crazy deal
by the way, the deal is only thru the 30th
Bought mine from Costco too for all the same reasons mentioned in this post....great price ($249 + $30 tax = $279 - $50 mail-in rebate for a grand total of $229), free accessories and 90 day return policy. Sweet! Right? Well, I went to Walmart a few weeks later and saw the phone advertised for $149 w/ the same 2-year contract renewal...and NO mail-in rebate needed to get this price. Seeing how I don't use the free bluetooth or leather case that Costco packaged w/ the phone, I would have much preferred to walk out of Walmart w/ the phone for $80 less. (boo-hoo) Oh well, you live and learn to shop around 1st.

$249+ 30 tax is a bit high for Costco... You must have bought yours right when it came out?
I hope I'm not off topic here but, I purchased mine through Walmart.com (aka let's talk) for $139, no activation fees and no shipping fees.

$90 after taxes but before the $18 upgrade fee from Costco. Includes an accessories bag, which has a belt case, crappy headphones and a working car charger which I was very happy about. This is on contract by the way.
69.99 Amazon with contract.
I want eligible for upgrade, att gave me $249 but added few of accessories and bluetooth. Phone came to $179. I check best buy, best they could was sell me retail.
Note that another att store i went to say $299 for my situation. 2nd att store is $249 befire the extra acc i bought the same time. Didnt hesitate. Although my next upgrade date is 2 years from now. And i still kept the unlimited data plan.
Not bad of a deal afterall, considering that i shelled out $700 for the touch pro wgen it first came out (dumb move)
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I paid 299 each for them with early upgrades on non data lines, but had them add the phones to the 2 data lines. My kids dont need data on thier lines.
I feel the phone is worth it and i have been waiting a long time for att to get something like this in. Im not sure if im going to keep using the inspire or the dell, yet. But my wife feels better now that she has a real replacement to the EDGE only hd2 she had before the crapdivate she just replaced.
$70 on contract with amazon and new contract but convinced ATT to give me a statement credit because my last phone's screen died three days ago after 10 months, so it was free

$49.99 from AT$T , off contract but with a new commitment. It was a knife in my side to " re-up " with AT$T because they suck so bad.
Would have gone to T-mobile, but really wanted this phone. Here's hoping that AT$T bites the dust now that their cash cow ( iPhone ) has been spread a little thinner.

That means that my 2 year contract from my Tilt ended and I was free to take my number to another carrier with no early termination fees to AT$T.
After 18 months AT$T will allow you to upgrade your phone at a discounted price if you sign a new 2 year contract. But you cannot go to another carrier until your contract is up.
I had to sign another 2 year contract, so AT$T will easily make up the cost of the phone by taking everything I own and my first born child in outrageous service/data plans and obnoxious fees. There is a reason they are at the bottom of every customer satisfaction survey. They work hard to be there
Went to Radio Shack today to buy an Inspire case. The guy asked me what I paid for the phone - $99.99 of course. He said they had it for $49.99 through today.
I had seen that earlier in the week but assumed it was a misprint. It wasn't!
So I headed over to Bestbuy where I bought mine two weeks ago, armed with a RS ad & my rewards card and got 50 bucks refunded. No questions asked.
And to think a guy at Radio Shack told me go do it.
Don't know if it's nationwide, but maybe this will help someone.
Wow...I got my Inspire from bestbuy as well. So I can get an ad from radio shack and take it to bestbuy and they'll refund me $50?
I got mine at radio shack like 2 weeks ago for 99.99 and i just brought my receipt back and got my 50 dollars back from them dropping the price, i love price guarantees
You guys are talking about 49.99 with an upgrade right? Because I'm going to be buying an inspire for 300 bucks (1 year discount at AT&T store, factored from renewal price + 200 dollars) and was wondering if maybe radio shack could get me a phone for 249 instead of the 300 with the deal.
Any idea with radio shack does 1 year discounts? And also is the 49 dollars only today, because if so just disregard this post :3
will this only work today? cuz i dont have time to go today and are the ads online or do u actually have to go to one?
Does anyone know if ATT would do a refund if I brought the ad in?
I do not think ATT will match rs price

Staples has been selling the Inspire for $49.99 w/new contract or upgrade.
I got mine from radio shack 3 days ago for $49.99 as an upgrade straight. I know about the trade in phone, that deal was two weeks ago, $99.99 but if you bring a working phone its $50.00 instant off. I liked last weeks deal $49.99 new 2 yr contract or upgrade, total $53.53 and it took 15 mins, opposed to ATT $99.99 for an hour of BS. Thanks RS!
I got mine at Amazon for 69.99+ no tax - $35 refund for late 4G sim card delivery
For the phone trade-in, is their a specification on which phone? Or could I buy one of the $20 go phones and then trade that in?
Yes thats what i did for one, bought 15$ throwaway and traded it in. The recycle is good on any phone i believe. Gotta call bull**** on a couple of these posts, everyone wants to claim the best deal. How it werked for me was 99 dollar phone - 50 credit PLUS tax on radio shacks price for the phone... (almost $50.00) then att matches the 50.00 rebate.....
Mine came out to.67.00$.... maybe this bull**** tax.thing.is only in cali?

Return it if you got it from At&t and buy it at best buy. If you bought it from Best Buy go with your receipt and they should give you a refund for the difference!!
,,,,35 dolla restock fee at AT&T...with unrooting, and drive time, and time spent dealing with sales idiots......Not worth saving the 30 bux...Bastids....
ahhhh i pay $99.00 dollars
I bought mine contract free but thats a good deal. I'll have to show some of my friends.
gayy i paid 99.99!!!!!
Umm, Costco had the Inspire for $49 since day one back in Feb. No activation fee. 90 Days replacement policy (vs. 30 days at most other places.)
My local Costco store had it for $0 new with no activation fee a month ago.
if you bought it from AT&T, you have 30 days to return for a full refund. But if you call them and explain the price change, they can give you a credit on your account for the difference. They have done it for me several times. Its easier for them than return, refund, and then have to get it refurbished to resell again. Just ask, they will do it.

I also was able to get a credit for $35. I called and asked for the manager. I explained I had bought 2 weeks ago and was within my 30 days return policy. I explained I could save $70 by upgrading at Best Buy and that I could return the phone for a $35 restocking fee. I asked if there was anything they could do for me so I didn't have to bring my phone back in... He offered me the credit.

Best buy is having a midnight sale and they have posted the G2X free w/ contract.
Typed on my CyanoSavaged SuperEvo.
And Amazon has it for $.01. Sucks for me because I just spent $79 on mine through Amazon yesterday, but at least I'll have it on Friday.
kind of makes me wish i didnt shell out 200 on opening day :/
yeah and i bought mine a week ago... and amazon's FAQ says...
Do you have a price guarantee?
If a price changes on an item you have already purchased, we are not able to refund the difference. We do, however, consistently work to maintaining competitive prices on everything we carry.
if it's before 30 days you can return it to tmobile
Paid $333 for mine from T-Mobile.
- BFL
how does upgrades through best buy work? or amazon for that matter.
Best Buy has a price guarantee. 30 day price match. If they didn't you could just return it and get it from Amazon. It's better for best Buy to just match prices.
Anybody know how long that sale is going on for?

T-Mobile.com:
+ Can keep your plan
- $325 ridiculous up-front cost ($250 + $50 tax + $18 Upgrade Fee + $6 Shipping) (See attached screenshots)
- $50 Mail-In Rebate hassle
- $50 SENSATION50 promo code box doesn't appear for upgrades, wtf??
Amazon:
+ $179.99, No Tax
+ Free 2-Day Shipping
- $35 Activation Fee
- Can't keep your current plan at all, you MUST choose from the new plans
Wirefly:
+ $179.99, No Tax
+ Free FedEx Shipping
- $18 Activation Fee
? There is a "Keep My Plan" option available but what plan options does it keep if forced to choose a new data plan anyway??
Is there a less expensive way to go about it?
And what the heck is this "Activation Fee" if my account is already active, and why is it more expensive on Amazon?
(See attached pictures)
The activation fee is a joke. T-Mobile has to do zero work to get the phone to work on their network. All we need to do is move a sim from one phone into the other. I wonder if they'll waive the fee if you call t-mo?

Let'stalk even paid for the california taxes (which would be $50 since smartphones are taxed the full price of the phone in california), so I only paid a total of $149. Seemed like an awesome deal to me.
You cant go wrong with costco... 199 after rebate, you keep your plan and you can exchange the phone for a new one in the next 90 days.
Got my g2x and after me being very disappointed with it - swaped for the sensation.
Plus, they will match the price if it ever goes down (got my g2x for 200 and got 100 back when they started offering the phone for 99)
So id say -costco has the best deals on cell phones. Ever. And to think that I used to get phones from amazon before....
Good luck in your search!

Unfortunately, they force you into the 5 GB plan no matter what, even if you keep your plan:
And they do charge tax too
And they charge the $18 upgrade fee too (see bottom of picture). They just don't add it to the final price.
So it ends up being almost as much as T-Mobile for a total of $315 (free shipping though at least)

Ummm... I kept my unlimited Data plan... I just called in to make sure, and Yes - my unlimited Data is still active!
Try your local Costco, its different when you deal with a live person. They tried to sell me the 5GB, but they couldnt. I said that that would be the day that i move to ATT, cause thats the only thing keeping me with tmobile, since their signal at my house is just... missing in action
So try the local store, they can work with you better than the website.

I think the 149 upgrade price expired yesterday.
I asked T-Mobile about the promotion and the rep didn't seem to have a clue about it...
~Tracy W: I am not finding anything in regards to a promotion code, what I would recommend is calling our sales department at 1-800-672-5390
I asked a rep from Amazon and they said that you can keep your $10 data plan and you don't actually need the $30 one.. you can switch it at any time.
Also, I think you clicked 'new plan' instead of existing plan, I get a different checkout page.. see attachment
Hey Paul you should try checking craigslist. I got mine brand new for $365 yesterday. Might be worth a shot instead of paying up to 325 and having to use your upgrade.
Nope, got mine using my full upgrade today for 148.88 + tax at walmart. but the deal only works I'm store though I think.
