Motorola V60c for $200 from Verizon

[elfbomber]

If you goto verizonwireless.com and click on specials (http://www.verizonwireless.com/special_offers/splash/splash1.html), they have the V60c phone for 50% off, meaning it's going to cost $199.99 after $50 MIR from the current price of 249.99.

Just picked one up last week. Excellent phone.

Can you get this if you already have verizon?

I don't get you people... you go into a regular shop... bring around 5-6 + people who you know need phones.. and you in there and you bargain. Those people make 400 + for commision... 400 X 6 is 2400 dollars... either they give you the mot. v60c for free or leave.. I know so many people who do this.. they bring like 10 people with them.. the guy gets so excited... and you start asking for things.. like free hnads free mic... free leather case.... free phones.... and if he cough it up for free.. ask him to cut the price.. if the doesnt just go fine... "hey guys lets go to the store on the next block.. i knwo he'll give me abetter deal" I bet you the guy will try to deal with you...My friend got the v60 when it first came out for 50 bucks w/ activation

They get like $250 to $350 kickbacks per 1 year activitation.

 

[ep12582]

not the people that I went to.. they were getting 400 per person in commission.. thats alot of money per person.. last time we did go in there with 10 people.. and the guy got soo happy.. and he was tyring to rip us off... so we're like dude.. we know you're getting 400 per person from us..give us a better deal.. he was like.. nah i cant.. otherwise I wont make money.. so we argued.. and he gave us free stuff.. but then my friend wanted the new motorola v60 (When it first came out that is) and hes like no way you're getting that for free.. so we said fine lets go... and we started to leave..hahah and so he said $50.. i'll give it to you for 50.. so everyone got free talkabout flipphones and my friend got the v60...

They are selling the v120c on their site for $99 - $50 rebate, so about $50 when everything is said and done. I went into radioshack and picked up the exact same phone for $30 without rebates or anything. Shopping directly from the cell phone provider is a rip-off. Going to circuit city, best buy, or radio shack usually is a better deal for you.

It's a great little phone. I picked one up about a month ago for $299. I wonder if amex will PM the $250 (before rebate) price.


Does anyone know if Amex will PM cellphone prices?

If anyone is willing to go with AT&T Wireless, there's a couple of threads here and at FW about shops that are giving away the AT&T (TDMA) version of this phone (V60t) for under $100. I just picked up 2 in NYC Chinatown for $30 each. Others in the Bay Area are getting them for FREE.

V60t from AT&T Wireless

I don't know where people are getting these for free in the Bay area...but I do know there are a couple places that you can get them for about $58. If I remember correctly this price is good for either AT&T or Verizon. Going to China Town would be a good place to start looking if you want a cheap price on this phone

 

[elfbomber]

I believe AMEX will not price match an item that has a MIR. The $50 rebate is a MIR.

Not sure where you guys are getting the $250-$400 commission per activation...It's no where near that high.

I worked at a Verizon Wireless store in Ohio as a non-commissioned salesperson (internship thing)...But anyway, the commissioned sales people have a sales "quota" they have to meet each month to stay in sales. Generally, based on past performance, it's around 75 new activations per month. Assuming they're making $250 per activation this people are making $18,750 per month, or $225,000 a year. In a retail job. This is not the case. If you don't believe me, keep in mind that most people sign up on plans between $30-50 per month--meaning Verizon would clear no money until after month 8 of a one year contract.

The commission is, in fact, somewhere between $30-50 per activation, depending on the length of contract and the expense of the plan chosen (higher $$ plans = more commission). Also, deactivations within the first two years of service are CHARGED BACK against the salespersons commissions for that month. So, if I signed you up in July 2001, and after your year runs out, you cancel in October 2002--I lose a portion of the original commission.

The v60c is a nice phone--but if they're dropping prices it's because something better is about to come out.

Does anyone know of any other secondary dealers in LA area for Verizon besides Radio Shack?

 

[SoulAssassin]

<< Can you get this if you already have verizon? >>



Didn't see an answer to this...anyone know? If so I'll be in my car in about 2 minutes to get this.

 

[ftrainwill]

Toyman, it was free in Chinatown.

I had like 4 friends who got it for free, its just a promotion that they ran!

 

[Doggiedog]

I just got this phone too from Verizon.

One problem with this deal is if you are not a Verizon user, they will charge you a $30 subscriber fee so it ends up being about $230. Still a good deal which is why I got the phone.

 

[thenew3]

Soulassassin: To answer your question, here's what I got from the verizon dealer. If you've been a verizon customer for atleast 10 months, and you've been using the same phone for atleast 10 months, then yes you can renew your contract for another 1 or 2 years and get this phone at the discount price. If you've been a customer for less then 10 months or have changed your phone within the last 10 months, then you are not eligible for the promotion price.

 

[DVDKing]

thenew3: Do you know if I can get on this deal ? I have been a Verizon customer for almost a year now, but I had to renew my contract a couple times in ther interim because they were offering a better deal each time. When I first signed on, they were offering something like 1500 weekend minutes and 150 weekday for $30/mon. Then a few months later, it was 2000 weekend minutes, then up the weekday minutes to 250 minutes, then to 3500 weekends minutes, etc. all for the same $35 a month. So right now, my contract run until Dec. of this year with the last change in plan (I believe you have to extend your contract to a full year from the time you change your plan to get in on the current promotion.) Of course, I still have my old Motorola phone that I have been using for a year and it's starting to crap out on me. I want a new phone!

 

[ToyMan]

thanks ftrainwill for letting me know about the FREE phones in Chinatown. I've got to become a better negotiator. I just picked up 2 of the v60t's for $30 each on Tuesday.

Hey... are these phones v60c or v60t? The former is for Verizon, the latter is for ATT. There's a long thread on the ATT offer, but has anyone been able to get the Verizon v60cfor free?

Stop confusing the offers.
