ok i was anticipating the att fuze being on sale (50percent off) but i just calleda nd only the quickfire and the matrix (lame feature phones) were buy 1 get 1 free...Im so upset i was really looking foward to this and i would have put my money on them having the same sale as last year especially since people are dying to make a sale because of the economy...maybe i can haggle em
I'm very upset aswell. I thought there would be good deals. Our economy really is in the drain. I didn't even head out for black friday. The deals were horrible.
Microsoft Cash Back seems to have 25% off
I searched ATT Fuse from Microsoft LIVE and got a 25% off link back to AT&T. That's no 50%, but better then nothing. You must be logged into Live for this to work.
its actually 30% off now

Got any more info on how to do this? I searched for it but just see general info links, nothing about discounts...
Thanks
Yes I can't figure out this deal either, but 30% is definitely a lot. I would like to have some more info too.
can't find it anymore
it seems like they pulled it - live search had the 25% cashback logo next to the at&t text link.
its still there, i swear i feel like i've explained this 20 times...
1- go to www.live.com
2- search for "buy it now" or "cheap wii"
3- you'll see the save 30% on ebay link at the very top, click on it
4- this will take you to ebay, and you'll see a 30% off thing at the very top of the page
5- search for whatever you want, and when you buy it now, you should see the amount of cashback your getting
good luck
omar
but who wants to buy a fuze off of ebay& theyre going for like 400-500 bux? it would be chepar to get it directly through att unless you are stuck in contract and not eligable for an upgrade...
OK...so if you search enough times the cashback ads in the grey box will come out, but I also read that it is only for new lines, not upgrade or add a line and things like that. Man I miss those coupon codes.
25% off from ATT Store - no upgrades
Use this link, be sure to click on the ad in the grey box, not the search result.

The following purchases on www.wireless.att.com are not eligible for Cashback Rewards ("Excluded AT&T Purchases"):
a.upgrades, add-a-lines or device purchases with GoPhone (prepaid) service;
b.purchases that are not completed using www.wireless.att.com's checkout flow
c.Purchases that have a total due today of zero
Live.com Search Cashback still works but...
I bought a new sealed AT&T Fuze 11/29 on ebay. The cost was $499.99. I paid through PayPal and received an INSTANT 30%, $150 live.com cashback credit to my paypal account. I transfered it to my bank account and it was credited on Monday. I haven't even received the phone yet!!
I followed "omaralt's" instructions, but I searched for the HTC Tilt. The Tilt appears as a cashback link to ebay. I followed the link, searched for the Fuze, found a reputable seller, and clicked the "Buy it Now" button. The cashback logo then appeared and the rest is history.
The Live.com Search Cashback still works but has been reduced to 20% at this time. Not bad if you don't want a contract (and want to keep your unlimited MediaWorks).
In my case, I paid $350 for a new Fuze; no contract and no plan changes.
Good Luck!
Hi All,
Can I just share my poor experience with HTCSimUnlock.com.
Got the wife a new HTC Wildfire, which needed unlocking, so I had a scoot about a couple of threads on here and HTCSimUnlock.com seemed to be OK. So I paid my fee and waited for my code. Needless to say, it didn't go well. 20 minutes later I got an email back from them saying they couldn't find the code, but they had an *EXCLUSIVE* service for a deep search that I couldn't get any place else, but it would cost me the same money again. So started looking for the process to start this fully automatic refund they are supposed to offer. Nothing, I even tried with a second browser just in case Firefox has not showing it. So I ended up emailing them.... and again, and again. Nothing, other than spam offering insurance and backup services for the code they never sent me.
I've sent it to the credit card people as a fraud now, and it's up to them to chase these people.
I ended up going to a UK unlocker who were charging the same fee HTCSimUnlock.com tried to charge by deception, but at least they had the decency to stipulate before hand that newer handsets would cost more.
Needless to say, I would not recommend these people(person) Their claim of an automatic refund is untrue.
Interesting I went to them aswell based on the good reviews.
I also paid for my order yesterday to unlock the wildfire. But as of yet no e-mail.
It does say it can take up to 24 hours, so the INSTANT DELIVERY on their home page is a little misleading. I'll see how it goes and report back for people that are interested.
Great, I just ordered a code from them too...paid via credit card so I guess if I don't hear anything from them i'll have to call my bank about it.
sigh, i guess it was only $17AUD. or at least i hope thats all they actually charged to my credit card.
Right, I put in an order sunday morning and still nothing. it just says "**Processing**" under the status. I've e-mailed them twice since and not a single reply.
Seem like fraudsters to me. Will be opening a claim with paypal.
Also went with them based on positive feedback from before the website was sold. Scam. Scamtastic. Opened dispute with paypal and contacted SWReg about refund.
Dammit, looks like I just got taken for $14.50 myself. I didn't even get an order reference number, but they didn't feel too bad about taking my money. I'm going to PayPal right now.
addendum...it was simunlockNOW dot com that I went through, and they actually gave me my code. Had to pay another $10 for it, because the phone just came out, but otherwise the code works fine.
htcsimunlock.com wildfire AVOID
Avoid this company, they do not give a money back offer, you pay, they can't find the code and then ignore e-mails only paying after a paypal claim or credit card claim.
I used mobileunlocked.co.uk[/url] and they were great, getting the code in minutes, although a little more expensive at least I got what I paid for.
I will be contacting the server for htcsimunlock and seeing if I can get the site removed as its being used for fraudulent purposes.
AVOID HTCSIMUNLOCK.COM AT ALL COSTS
Same experience with HTCSimUnlock here.
The only difference is that i actually got the Unlock code wich doesn't work and offcourse, they are not responding on support e-mail.
frauders...
pause for breath.. before you give up…
Well I confess .. I also come here wondering why after getting caught with the best deal ever
“Order your HTC SIM Unlock Code”
ONLY $15.75! (Lowest Price Guarantee!)
then they replied
“Thank you for your recent order for the unlock code of your HTC Phone. Unfortunately, we are unable to find the unlock code for your HTC phone with our basic search.
HOWEVER, we now offer an *EXCLUSIVE* Deep Search service that can find 99% of hard-to-find unlock codes. This service is NOT AVAILABLE ANY WHERE ELSE! Due to the exclusivity of this service, it will cost a one-time upgrade fee of just $14.99.”
Then I got my Unlock code eventually for about £26 GBP only to find yes it unlocked my orange branded phone.. but I couldn’t make a call or send a text…
PAUSE for breath … I thought I’ve been shafted / scammed / stitched up / done over etc…
IT did work thou Guys….
I got a
HTC DESIRE HD (A9191) or Ace
It was locked to Orange UK
Just remember maybe you gotta go back in to your settings and change operator from orange to Vodafone in my case (lebara Sim) works off Voda network the only other thing I recall doing before it all started to work was DROP the battery out put the desired sim in side then put the battery back in..
BTW sometimes if you switch a SIM you also got to re-activate it to work with the new IMEI, in my case lebara I had to dail up 5588 as stated at their web support site.. like I said pause for breath.. before you give up…
RE- HTCSimUnlock.com
Yes they ramped the price up coz I got a newer phone and they knew that I’d take the bait.. BUT it works…. MY phone is unlocked..
And wanted to let you know…
Good luck
The smoking Tiger..
I paid top dollar ...
but with a bit of research... the unlock code worked for me
My orange branded phone now works with lebara.. make sure the sim you use is live sim not a de-activated sim.. and check your network setting.. match the sim network...
Good luck...
Ban Users posting the link to them
Forget what anyone says
This IS a Fraudulent company running a SCAM to get your money
I currently have a paypal case op to get a refund, if you've paid by credit card start a reversal.
I went with them due to recent posts on xdadev recomending them. And adverts
I think anyone that does a post recomending them should be banned
Aw crap! I read some good stuff and place my order. I am not able to get through to their member login page with my email ID -and needless to say, not a response for my email. To give them a benefit of doubt, their autoreply asks for 24 hours for a response, and am going to give them that. Will post back after ~12 hours (it already has been 12 hours since all this)...
Been a day - so much for "Instant to 30 minutes". Raised a dispute in PayPal, and placed an order unlock-now dot com - lets see how this goes.
Anyone disappointed with the ****ers at HTCSimUnlock dot com - Head to www dot unlock-now dot com - I got my unlock code over email in 9 minutes flat. I had to pay Euro 17.50 though, against the $13.95 that the HTCSimUnlock folks charge. But hey, what is the point of being cheap-and-wont-work?!!
I called the phone company to get the unlock key :S
I typed in the wrong IMEI the first time, and started a refund.
Sent in a second request, with the correct IMEI.
Both returned "unable to find" ... started the "refund" on both, to no avail. It's been a week.
I've tried contacting the company I bought the CC from (it's a Vanilla Prepaid) and they say they will take 50 DAYS to do a reversal!
I've gone from HTCSimUnlock.comm to SWREG, and if it's not resolved by Monday, I'll go to DigitalRiver. DRI doesn't want to lose good standing with Microsoft (which they could, if enough people complain.)
Avoid this company, they cheat people money for doing nothing.
I paid my money via Paypal for unlocking my HD2. 15 minutes later, they replied me that I need to pay additional money for an upgrade service. They want to charge me a total of over $30 for an HD2 unlock code, I refused of course.
I emailed to them, they never replied me. Instead, they just email me back with standard reply, and nothing about my refund. Been waiting for refund for one week without any trace. I raised a compliant to Paypal (luckily I used Paypal). I hope Paypal will help me getting back my money.
Brothers: Keep away from this cheating company. They are SCAM!!!
It took me over 3 WEEKS to get a refund, and then I had to get it through SWREG and NOT HTCUnlock.
Do not trust these robbing b*stards
I wish I had read this thread before I was fleeced by these robbing c*nts.
They sent me the usual 'deep search' at extra USD 14.99, I refused and went for a refund and they sent me an email stating that 'a refund has been provided' - of course, they haven't !
Fortunately, I paid by 'paypal' and have raised a case.
WHy are they not blacklisted by paypal?
Hello,
I've read a few posts about people purchasing gTabs that were returned to the store.
Is this from specific retails only and how do you track down those that have returned units? Are all stores willing to re-sell a returned tablet?
Thanks in advance. I have a gTab and my wife has decided she'd like to switch from her laptop. Hoping we can track one down for her.

Purchasing returned tablets
Sears outlet (www.searsoutlet.com) will display available tablets and they appear fairly regularly. The catch is they are usually only available for in-store purchase and they usually sell pretty fast. Not surprising, since they are usually priced around 279 USD.
The buy instore is really dependent on the store and the customer service people.
SearsOutlet.com had one about two weeks ago, I called the store to ask if they could ship it. The answer may vary but here's what you should do:
1. tell the automated answering machine, "Electronics" and "Store" or "Floor" (can't remember) , the Call center people you usually get can't help you and will just direct you to the Sales staff on hand. You need to talk to someone physically in the store. So listen for the option to talk to a rep on the floor.
2. Make sure they actually have the unit on hand.
3. Ask about shipping it.
a. The manager I talked to in Buffalo, NY(Scott Nash) Said that Sears will ship it for you.
4. You pay for it on the searsoutlet.com site and then give the confirmation number in the store, and I guess they'll arranged for a UPS Pickup.
I got it about 4 days later. If the people in the store give you trouble complain to @sears on twitter. Maybe they can help. They acknowledged me when I thanked Scott and Roland the guys who helped me.
Good Luck.
PS: Seems like you have better luck seeing them on the outlet site between 8 and 10 am, either they sell like hotcakes or its a bug. But I would see em in the morning and then not see the tablet in the evening. just go to searsoutlet.com and search for viewsonic that way you'll see the case too if you want it. you shouldn't get much else. click the one you want. if it says they don't have it in your area click view all available and click on the store info. the phone # will be there if you need to call them.
I picked mine up at a Sears store for $279. It was listed on searsoutlet.com, try "searsoutlet.com/d/products.jsp?md=srh_md&stxt=tablet" (I'm too new to post outside links). They'll show up there for a couple of hours to a couple of days. You should check once or twice a day and be ready to pounce!
It was missing the manuals (I already had the pdf's) and usb cable (I have plenty). So far I'm happy with it.
Thanks for all the replies.
Unfortunately our Sears is the size of a convenience store and they never had them for sale. I tried searching on the next closest location but nothing wanted to come up. Haha maybe we don't have any others here in Montana.
We do however have two Staples within two miles of each other. I stopped at one and the manager said they had nothing. All units had been returned to Viewsonic.
I'll keep searching, thanks again for the information.

I went on-line this past Friday to order the MHL/HDMI cable for my HTC Sensation from the T-Mo store. At the end of checkout I was asked 5 security questions...I flubbed the first question because I wasn't paying attention. Some of the other questions were kind of strange. i.e. They asked me if I knew a Anble S****. It was my family last name but who has "Able" as a first name??? The best I could figure was they may have meant "Angie" who was a family member.
Anyways, I flunked the security questions and was given a phone number and order# so I could call and verify the order over the phone. I had the call the next day because that office was closed.
I called and cleared up the order and then the sales rep who was helping me could not find the item I was trying to order. Trying to be helpful, I found the item on my own at the on-line T-Mo store but it had no SKU or part #. The sales rep also told me he could not access the same web site because they were restricted from doing so!!!???? I was thinking of e-mailing him the link to the video cable but he couldn't even get to it.
He had to put a note in my order stating what the item was so some other dept. could try to find it...
So predictably, 6 business days later (I paid for overnight delivery) I still had not received my order. I called 30 minutes ago and the sales rep told me the order still had NOT been placed yet AND it would take 24-72 hours (business days) before the order would be even cleared by another dept. Now what the heck does that mean?. I told the rep I was not very happy and a few other choice words.
At least I hope I get an e-mail when they finally find the cable and mail it to me...the next time I'll order from Hong Kong and probably get it faster..haha.
That sucks. You should at least get the shipping charge refunded or changed since it's taking them so long. Are these not available in store?
No MHL/HDMI cables at the local T-Mo store
Last weekend I did go to my local T-Mo store and they only had cases and screen protectors for the HTC Sensation. I was not really expecting too much since the Sensation is so new. I asked the sales girl when they might be getting anything in and she had no clue. The impression I got was she was not expecting any video cables to come in.

Is the Samsung promotion page not active yet? When I go to the link that the Sprint rep sent me there's just an option to pre-order or it says come back later. but two reps that I've spoken to said I should be able to register now and file a claim form. Samsung rep said it's not open yet but seemed very confused as to what I was asking about.

You can't apply until you have your phone so there is no point having the page up until the phones ship. You have to enter the IMEI as part of the application.
Also note that this only applies to pre-orders through the carriers. Direct orders from Samsung.com ship the bundle around the same time as the phone (albeit separately as evidenced by them splitting the charges on my credit card), so there is no form to fill out.
To be honest given the limited number of bundles (50K for the VR Immersive Bundle) I'd be surprised if there were any left by the time the phones ship. I mean they've said 700K pre-orders in South Korea alone, I can't imagine Samsung.com (US) haven't taken 50K yet and for $99 I would imagine most people would have opted for the bundle. The memory card alone is worth twice that and then the headphones are also highly rated $150 Bluetooth wireless over the ear headphones.

Don't shoot the messenger Neither Samsung.com nor the Samsung Shop app offer the choice of gift anymore, it's the Gear VR and Controller or it's nothing. Someone else posted that based on previous promotions Samsung always seem to come up with enough to keep everyone happy but they're clearly limiting the orders right now.
