T-Mobile: Make $150.00 on 2ea T300 w/ cameras!!!

[pcstuff]

I just did this myself. Haven't sent in the rebate yet, but even without the rebate you get the phones for free! This is for US customers only.

OK, you have to order the family plan ($69.99 or $99.99) and choose 2ea T300 phones. They come with free cameras and all you pay upfront is $9.99 for shipping and handling via Fedex 2 day service. You will also have to pay a $35.00 activation feee, but that gets charged on your first months bill.
With the "budget" family plan ($69.99) you get combined 800 anytime minutes and free weekends (Note: NO free nights), but you also get free T-Mobile to T-Mobile calling (not just the other phone, but anybody with a T-Mobile phone).
You can "try" the service for 14 days, but have to send all phones back in in "like new" condition to get credit. You have to pay for any incurred phone charges, of course.

This is the best deal I could find on cell phones right now. Believe me, I've checked all over the place.

The website now says $50.00 rebate per phone, but I've posted the link to the $150.00 combined rebate below!

Simple Math:
2 Ericsson T300 phones FREE
2 Ericsson cameras FREE
Shipping -$9.99
Rebate +$150.00 in your pocket!

Links:
Order the phones here: www.a1wireless.com
Print the rebate here: www.tmobilerebates.com/PDFs/CR15588-tmobile-5023-37.pdf

The phones are pretty cool, although there are better color phones, but you'll have to pay some serious cash for those. The cameras are a cool gimmick, but I doubt I'll ever really use them. Max Res is 640x480.

Is this only for new T-Mobile customers?

I am already a T-Mobile customer and have been considering switching the wife and I to a family plan.

Hummm, nice looking deals on that site. I wonder which phone I should get?
Nice post pcstuff! :beer::beer:

 

[JJMcKay]

I have a t-mobile account and a really old phone that my wife is using.... I'd love to get a new phone for her. Is this legit? I'm wondering about the authorized dealer bit....

the link is to a $50 rebate (times 2, obviously), not a $150 rebate. Is the $150 still available?

d1ck.... did you see the NEWER REBATE LINK?

 

[RIGorous1]

this is pretty hot even if its only free and no $50 more.... the camera bit is cool ... I think its time to break out of my boycott of cells and get one. Still debating it though...

 

[BornStar]

So, am I to understand you have to buy a service plan with the new phones from this company? I've already got T-Mobile service but I want a new phone. I'm sick of my Nokia 3390 and my girlfriend broke the screen on her phone so she can have mine. I just wish they would give people incentives for buying new phones.

 

[beerbong]

call vstream and ask them...i used to work for them..if you have been a customer for along time, sometimes they will give you a really good deal on a phone if you sign up for a new contract.. maybe they have a promotion going on...

and is it me, or does A1Wirelss.com look like they are getting referals out of this?

They offer you the same pricing they offer on their website.
I've been with them for over 2 years and they won't even give me a break on a phone.
So I cancelled

 

[ksfhhllp]

Um, yeah, isn't it $50 per phone, not $150 for two?
By the way, this has been available for the loooongest time on Amazon <yawn>.

And, yes, Amazon doesn't offer the family plan, but just get two separate lines, then switch them over to a family plan (no charge, no contract extension).


<--- these ads suck... move them to the right

 

[ksfhhllp]

To clarify, they're negative $50 each AR at amazon. And the t68i is negative $30.

 

[RIGorous1]

Thanks for the update ksfhhllp.... but one question... if you get two separate phones do you have to pay separate activiation fees plus sign up for two 39.99 accounts? That's $10 more per month... Please correct me, I'm sure I'm wrong. I want to be wrong.

[demenion]

I think my brother and I are going to jump in on this..

anyone want to convice me why we shouldn't?

activation fee applies to each phone so it's 2 x 36 bucks I believe is the activation charge.

Also for 10 bucks more and getting a 2nd phone I think it's a better deal than the family plan. since you can add unlimited nights for 2.99

You can just get the $29.99 plans... and keep them on those plans for a month to be sure you get the rebates through Amazon.
Then put them on the same Family Plan.

Yes, I think you have to pay both activation fees.

2 lines on the lesser FP is $69.99/mo total, with each additional line (lines 3 through 5) costing $20/mo additional (they just upped it from $10... people who had the plan before the change last month are grandfathered and can still add lines for $10/mo).

The FP works really well for me, since the other person on the plan is who I talk to for 95% of my calls... plus I know a number of other people on TM.

Add-ons (NOT available with the FP):
Buddytime is available as an add-on to certain plans (unlimited sms + unlimited TMobiletoTMobile).
Unlimited nights is available as an add-on for certain plans.

Go Canucks!

yeah, the good thing about the family plan is that you get t-mobile's mobile-to-mobile plan included, so a lot of minutes can be saved if you talk to family or others with a t-mobile account

I am waiting for ericsson to release the t610. It is supposed to be the replacement for the t68i.

Phew, that was close. I totally didn't notice the expiration date of 04/13 on the rebate form. Tells you how much I pay attention to the fine print.

BUT, my order was placed on 04/12 and invoiced on 04/13! Even with just $100.00 cash back this is still a pretty good deal, though.

For existing T-Mobile customers: Just cancel your account and order a new one in your wife's name!

In regards to being an authorized dealer: I was VERY impressed with the service I received from a1wireless.com. The phones were already activated and set up. A handwritten Post It note was stuck to each box with the mobile number and the Pin code AND both phones had laready been charged!
