Yeah...surprisingly Att is pretty good about matching prices-even though they never say anywhere they will match a price...but if you find a deal at another store and go to Att they will usually match the deal
For this to lazy to check out the thread...it basically says that the op went to Att and said radio shack had it for like $99, so the sales rep checked and then matched the price...

Radio shack had a $50 off any smartphone deal. Idk what hat the OP pulled that deal out of...

I'm thinking AT&T wanted to beat the deal. I'm guessing it'd be a lot cheaper for them to issue the phone themselves than have RadioShack issue it on a AT&T plan

Did you use your SIM card from your Atrix? I'm thinking about doing it since I have an iPhone 2g laying around, but I'm not sure if it'll work with my SIM card that already has a data plan.
But I'm still waiting to see if I even use all of the data I can. There is no point in spending an extra $5/month on something I don't need.
I was grandfathered in from an iPhone plan. Yay me
the iphone 2g is the only phone that will force att to give you unlimited internet. but back in January att said they will allow all prior att iphone customers to get unlimited back on there contract (provided it is the same number/contract) had they removed the feature at any time.
so I'm pretty glad I had an iphone. even if I had to deal with all the bs like no mms, no tethering unless it was jail broken, no video, crappy camera that didn't work indoors or if it was cloudy without a tripod. wow that phone sucked for the first couple years. but I'm glad I had it.
This is interesting.
Now to try and get my hands on an iPhone.

Might I suggest that you instead send him your SIM? Much less chance of something bad happening to an expensive (and still somewhat useful) bit of technology that way
Grandfathered in as well to the old unlimited data gotta love it

Yep, I did this back in April just to see if it worked.
edit... yes it worked. Just be persistent when you call the rep and let them know exactly which plan it will be. (in the event that they try and tell you it doesn't exist.)
I'm good now... Hooked up, got unlimited days now

Same here... I found one for 40$ with a cracked screen on my local craigslist... Thing is local is 2 hours of driving to get the phone and the seller doesn't want to ship it...

AT&T also has to set roaming agreements with Tmo if it falls through. While not 3/4g, it will give better 2g rural coverage.

Verizon is not the same phone and you need to sign up for two years. I think it is a good deal, but that is me.

If you guys are still selling your phones, I would recommend putting an ad up on your local craigslist. Before I dove into the root world and unlocked my SG4G to its full potential, I posted an ad up to sell my phone for $200 and got all kinds of offers. This was about two months ago.
Sad to see many people moving away from this phone. Although I do believe it is becoming outdated, I still think its a great phone nonetheless. I'm personally holding onto it because I will be spending a year abroad and have already unlocked it for international use.
Best of luck.
I'm trading for an hd2 and beats!

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!

I haven't checked on the price of this phone since i got mine and yes it did suprise me. It suprised the hell out of me to tell you the truth. Plus it's still the newest moto phone for att so you would think they wouldn't be done with it yet. I must be out of the loop.

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.

Is there fine print?

What's stopping me from adding 2 lines to my plan, getting 2 skyrockets or iphones for next to nothing, then selling them for $280 each, then buying out the contact on the 2 new lines, and pocketing $160? Am I missing some fine print?

Seriously? This is the worst idea ever. I know you need the money, but this is not the way to do it.
Like someone said, it's going to cost you $722 plus tax just to get them both off contract. You won't make a profit, period. That's even if you go for the iPhones because no one's going to buy a 3GS when it's about to be unsupported starting TODAY in like a few hours time. The iPhone 4 8GB is not worth it either when you can get the 16GB for the same price.
When people look to buy phones, they don't want them at retail prices, which is what you would have to do in order to make a profit.

Actually latest report I read said 3GS actually showed up on the leaked iOS6 file links.
*confirmed now
Seriously wish Android makers would steal this aspect from Apple. One of the biggest downsides to Android is most of the phones lose official support in 10-16 months. Apple is still updating 3GS after 3 years.
