Deals on Cellphones at officedepot.com (other than timeport) with NO PLAN

[scythic]

It seems that some good deals can be had at Office Depot if you are willing to hold while everyone else is being told the TimePort is back-ordered? (My CSR specifically mentioned the timeport).

Here's what you do --
Visit the Office Depot Wireless Center at http://officedepot.cellmania.com/cgi-bin/od_store/homepage.jsp

Note at the moment that the phones have two prices - With Plan and Without Plan. These are currently the *SAME* for all phones! This will likely change soon.

There are two paths now - What I did was to go through the junk of selecting a plan I didn't want, and see where it took me. I ended up back at the main office depot site with a higher price for the phone (because it automatically added the phone without the service plan!).

Alternatively, you can search for the phone on the Office Depot site itself, and get the item number.

Now you have the 6 digit item number, call up the customer service at
888-463-3768, wait on hold for a LONG, LONG, LONG time. Say hi to the nice representative whose working all night (24 - 7!!), and give them the item number. Now, tell them that the same phone is listed for the lower price in the wireless center. The representative will verify it with a supervisor, and reduce the price!

Add in either the $15 off $50 or the $20 off $100 coupons to heat this deal up a little. I walked away with a pair of phones for what they go for on eb*y. So -- Consider this warm.

Hmm, well, i would be interested in the phones, but none work with the GSM technology that i use in hawaii. Oh well. Nice find.

1GhzUser----- The Nokia 5190, and 6190 are GSM. I use the 6190, and like it a lot. (I have Voicestream.)

I picked up a few Sprint Samsung 6100's for $33.22 from the Website. Reg 149.99 so pretty hot deal.

Mfgr number: SCH6100GHS
Item number: 399181

Sweet deal on those Sprint 6100s. Interesting thing: They come up
as costing more if you check them in the OfficeDepot phone store.

Anyway, I just placed my order...

[avhokie]

Herman, how'd you do that?

On the website, it lists the 6100 at 59.88 each.

 

[oblivion2888]

can someone tell me how to order the 6100s

 

[Kwad Guy]

You've gotta call them and order to get the bargain price
on the 6100s...No way (that I could figure out) to get that
price on the Web.

Really? I got one online for $33.22. In the Wireless Store, they show up at $59.88, but when I add one to my cart, it's $33.22. I already have this phone and love it (much better than the Timeport, IMO), but I picked up another for my gf. Hell, I think I'll pick up another to sack away in case anything happens to the one I have. Cheaper than the damage insurance. HOT DEAL!!!

Just an FYI. Most of the phones are what is called SOC locked. Each carrier (i.e. Sprint, ATT, etc) have a specific SOC code for their system. This is not something that can be changed through programming. That means that the phones may not work properly if you try to activate the phone with another carrier.

 

[Herman]

If it is not showing in stock on the regular Office Depot site call the 800 number and see if any are available in your area. Give the SKU and price should ring 33.22. Don't go through the wireless store or you pay a higher price. (Still discontinued as specified by the .88 but .22 is better)

Also the AT&T® StarTac 7797 Wireless Phone is down from 299.99 to 99.66
It is 199.00 at ATT site. Motorola 7797

Thanks everyone for all the great deals !!!!!

 

[DavidTigerFan]

I backordered one through the web site, hopefully they will find me one of the 6100s...also for all you deal hunters...you can get a motorola timeport for 60 bucks here Then if you actuvate before february, you get a 50 dollar rebate here !0 dollars for a startac ain't too shabby.

[TimeKeeper]

TimePort, I have used for couple month and I don't like its reception, on the other hand, if you can help me find the sku number for Sprint PCS
Touchpoint 1100?

 

[Poochy]

TheFuzz,

Try again, it's back down to $60 now, but it's backordered

 

[TheFuzz]

Thanks Poochy.

 

[perfectlysane]

the 6100 is Unavailable..

 

[DavidTigerFan]

perfectly, you can backorder it if you want through the main OD site...

-D

 

[Merih]

how could it be backordered if it is a discontinued item?

 

[TimeKeeper]

you have to call CSR, and they will check if that particular product still available within your Zip code area.

Got myself 4 of 6100...hmm...don't know why I need 4........... someone's BD coming up?

 

[Kwad Guy]

It's my understanding that the Samsung 6100 can only be used with
Sprint PCS...Is this true? (It's listed as a "Sprint" digital
phone, so I assume it's already imprinted with Sprint specific
code?)
