Here's the Captivate URL for order on AT&T website.

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...msung+Captivate+(TM)+-+Black&q_sku=sku4760319
And yep, it's $499.99 full price.
Free overnight shipping.

It's on Premier also, for those with corporate deals.

I can't seem to access the premier store tonight. Is the pricing any different?

I'm a little confused. I didn't add any plan to this but I do have an upgrade credit. If I do this am I locked into another two years?

Yes, the $199 price is for new customers with 2 year contract, or upgrade with 2 year extension.

I feel like that should be a lawsuit in the making. Nowhere does it say I would be under contract for another 2 years.

it says "Two-year contract required. Requires purchase of a $15/mo data service." under every smartphone when i go to upgrade. i dunno how it works for premier accounts but i assume its the same case.

You would think that... but not so much in reality.

I was confused about this also. No where on there does it say that I need to do an upgrade until I put the item in my cart, and I'm literally about to check out. I guess I'll just have to go to AT&T this morning and try my luck

data plan is not required for phone ordered through premier i believe
i tried to add the pure a while ago, no data plan needed

On the page with the list of the phones, at the bottom it says view pricing details. Click that and it says:
Your Price
"Your Price" is the optimal price after factoring in contractual (i.e. equipment discount), business and consumer pricing based on a one or two-year service agreement. This price is independent of eligibility requirements.

Off-Contract Price

Does anyone what the cost is for an Inspire 4G off contract is? I talked to best buy and they said it's 600, but it's not confirmed anywhere. thanks

I haven't seen anything confirmed yet either, but this user says its $450:

i just pre-ordered my phone at radio shack today.
The no-commitment price of the phone will be.... $450, (better than the speculated $500)
i can confirm this as, i am buy the phone no-contract and i personally read through all the literature that radio-shack hands out to their employees about the phone and it's pre-order (im not a radio shack employee, it was just on the counter as the guy helping me had no clue how to pre-order at the no-commitment price)
so radio shack here i come on sunday!!
p.s. as everyone knows, radioshack is offering a $30 accesory credit when you pre-order the phone, which at their prices basically means a free case

Tonight someone is reporting that $399.99 is the price:
http://androidforums.com/htc-inspire-4g/275826-399-99-confirmed.html

Yep, $399.99 at at&t COR. BestBuy and Big Box stores usually sell it for a lot more off contract than COR does.

Ok thanks for the replies guys. Hopefully it is 450.

I think you mean hopefully 399...
God knows I hope that is right, and I'm an atheist!

Wait so just to confirm- AT&T is selling the Inspire on the 13th and probably around 400-500 dollars? Sounds like a much better deal than best buy!!!

Yup, kirbo said 399 at AT&T corporate retail stores. That makes me quite stoked.

If its 399 at att corp then I will deff sell the i4 and get one and take my profit and save money on a touch for my media

Wow I really can't believe that ATT is gonna be selling it for less than Radio Shack. Thats, Wow, all I have to say is Wow.

I can confirm a $599.99 price at Best Buy.
Not sure why its sooo much higher than ATT COR

I'm interested to know this too, as I'd much rather get one from Best Buy at $399 and no interest finance it (so I'm always poor, lol)

Yea we do price match any local store with the device in stock...however the managers might have to look twice about taking a whole $200 off.

A friend of mine works at an ATT store. Its $479.99 off contract according to him

just talked to one of my best buys and they said that all I would need is an online document or printout of atts website with the non-commitment price and they will match it.

just got my TB, (speedtest pics included!)

Here are the initial speedtest benchmark when i got out of the store:

If you look you will see there are 2 data plans. one for the $30 and one for $50.
if you don't want to call verizon and complain ( which I would and would hold out for them to give you something in return) just log in on line and make the change to the $30 plan. you'll be fine

Sounds like you're on a legacy plan, and they'd like you to "upgrade" to one of their current plans. Which plan are you on?

I got a message like that about 6 months ago. I called them and they offered me a better plan for $5 less a month.
Call them. You can always turn their offers down.

The down side is that you sign a new contract and are locked in for 2 more years.

But on the plus side, at least it doesn't affect your upgrade eligibility. If you're comfortable with T-Mobile's service it might be not be a bad deal for you

I agree. If you're happy with your service, coverage, data speeds, etc, it might not be a bad deal. In my case, I'm long since out of contract, but am extremely disappointed with T-Mobile service where I now live, so upgrading to a current plan and signing a 2-year contract in the process does not appeal to me.

I had the same issue with AT&T before. I told them if I received 1 more call from them about any offers I would be cancelling my service. I have never received another call.

Lol I might have to do that or call customer service and complaint about all this cause its kinda rediculous

[Q] Before I resell my One S...questions about rebate and micro sim...

I recently bought a Galaxy Nexus, so I used my Tmo upgrade to get the One S, and now I want to turn around and sell it to subsidize my Nexus.
The $50 rebate sounds like I basically have to use it. The requirements are:
1) To qualify for this rebate card offer, you must reach the qualifying handset and Data/Messaging requirements below through T-Mobile Customer Care. Qualifying activations include T-Mobile Refurbished Device products.
2) Offer only valid on plans with a two-year contract.
3) To be eligible for the rebate card: (i) your submitted materials must be validated by T-Mobile; (ii) you must have an active account meeting the rebate eligibility requirements; and (iii) your upgraded handset must be used to complete at least one call on your extended line of service.​
Here's my dilemma. Most people who will want this phone won't meet those requirements. So selling the phone with the rebate unfulfilled won't be useful to a lot of people. It also wants your customer account number, so they might do some cross checking to make sure you really bought the phone.
For me to claim it before selling it, I'll need to make a call on my line, meaning I'll need to activate the included micro sim on my account and make a call. That means I'll have to use the micro sim included.
Is it that hard to get a new micro sim? If I use it, can whoever buys the phone just walk into T-mobile and get a new one? Was hoping to sell it NIB without opening it, but now I can at least power it on and take a picture showing it working.
Anything I'm missing? Thanks for the help everybody.

I dunno about the whole rebate situation but I know you can get a micro sim cutter that turns a normal sized sim card into a micro sim. Maybe there'll be one included in the box (I dunno about that yet, I get my One S on Tuesday ) but they can be bought for pretty cheap anyway.

Any idea if I activate and use the micro sim that came with the One S...will that deactivate the old sim I'm using in my galaxy nexus?
And feel free to give your opinion...what would you rather get...a NIB never opened One S....or one that has been opened with proof of powering on?

Yes, it will. You can only have one sim activated per line.

That's what I was afraid. Tmo has made it pretty darn difficult to redeem this thing. Would have to activate micro sim (now buyer has to get one), and then I have to go get a new regular sim for my nexus. Ugh...not worth it.
I'll include all the rebate stuff and whoever gets it can try and claim it!

Go to the Galaxy Nexus and ask it there,we don't need thread like this to take up space or dial 611 and ask them and close this thread!

Bought two (one on wife's line, one on mine). So I'll sell one opened with proof of powering up, and the other completely unopened. Trying to claim the rebates seemed like too much of a pain. Maybe if the buyers get lucky they'll be able to claim it.
Thanks for all the help.

Regarding the sim card: There's no problem about activating the micro sim and using it in your GN as well. Sim-Adapters work fine and really don't cost much.
