Hot!, Get paid 28.01 for buying a T68i cellular phone(with new activation)

[haktmal]

I just got back from an asian cellphone store. Yes, they do have the T68i for ATT but it's $50.
You pay $100 to them and send in the $50 rebate to ATT.
But then this phone requires you to stay on two GSM plans. $40 or $100. That's it! Which really suck.

haktmal, did you haggle with them @ the asian store? Cuz usually if you haggle and talk to them in chinese you can probably get it for free if the phone is around $100 (especially if you tell them you can get paid 28.01 for buying a t68i @ BestBuy). Maybe you might even get them to throw in a car kit too!

I'm going to see if I can try that either today or tomorrow... wish me luck!

btw, do you knw if the GSM networks w/ ATT are offering 500 or 100 minutes? I've been on the website and it's crazy confusing!

You guys should also keep in mind that Best Buy does not pricematch cellular phones in California.

Additionally, keep in mind you are paying $72.00 for the phone, then getting a $100 GIFT CARD

I was wondering, does anyone have a SCAN of the AD that has this deal to CircuitCity?

I want to do this deal through Amazon. I called the BVG for CitiClick and they said that it is ok if I do this. This is the plan.

Buy the T68i from Amazon for $249.00
Pricematch to CircuitCity for $121.99

$249.00
-$121.99 (BVG to Circuit City)
-$250.00 (Rebates from Amazon)
+$25.00 (Activation with T-Mobile)
------------
-$97.99

Divide that by 12 months, and you get a T68i phone and save $8.17 Every month on your monthly T-Mobile bill for 1 YEAR!!!


So if anyone can scan that deal for Circuit City, please email me at

davidchan@nyc.rr.com

So maybe I can make this official or something.

Yea, your right Mister Yunta thanks

But, I was also wondering, I went to this asian store and they seems to have t68i's for T-Mobile AND AT&T and after seeing the rebates on Amazon, they said that they are willing to price match it (Amazon's $299 - $250(rebate) = $49.99) but won't match Circuit City's price which would've come out to (after doing all the math)

$299(Amazon)
-------------------------------
$128(PM w/ Circuit City)
-$250(Amazon Rebate)
-------------------------------
$122(You make)

And those of you who knows asian stores know that they won't give you money for free, So I asked them if I could get the phone for free and basically they said that they would do it, and throw in a free car charger kit w/ leather case, if I could show them the Circuit City ad (thus letting them know that I could actually do everything listed above)... so although you won't be making $122, you'll have the phone for free out the door... (kinda of a trade off but you get it right there and then) plus, you get the carkit and case!

(don't really know if this is a good deal tho')

The only problem... does anyone have a scan of CC's ad?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On another note:

The asian store says that AT&T's GSM network is REALLY REALLY bad right now, and that they weren't planning on upgrading/building new towers and pretty much doesn't have any plans in the near future (also they only have 2 GSM service plans to choose from, the $40 and the $99 w/ limited features)

Meanwhile, T-Mobile (although having bad service compariable to Cingular) is already on the GSM network and has also spent millions of $$$ to upgrade and expand their GSM networks and also has more plans to choose from seems to be a better choice (the asian guys says)

Can anyone confirm this?

For now it seems to be true.... but I dunno *shrugg*
