UPDATE:
Yesterday I wrote in a post:
"Now, MAYBE calling SALES in CANADA would result in this 15 months/$199 deal WITH the free phones thrown in? After I am done with this client here I'll try a mock signup on the phone with them from my cell phone while driving home, to see if that can be done. I'll report here later.
Well, on my way home I called SR and asked this way: "Hey, I'm interested in signing up with Sunrocket. I see that you have the 15 month deal advertised, not the free phones anymore." He replied: "Yes, that was last week's special deal. We don't have the phone deal anymore." So, I said: "I heard from a friend that he got the $199 for 15 months deal and also the 2 Uniden phones when he signed up. Can I get that, too?" He put me on hold for a minute to check (I assume he talked with his manager/supervisor) and when he returned he said that if I signed up right then he would give me the 15 months for $199 deal with the 2 phones included. I said I had to talk with my wife first, being that this is such a big step, and all.
Bottom line: It can be done. $199 for 15 months with 2 free phones.
If you valuate the phones at $55 for the pair and factor them in as a monthly savings of $4.58 ($55 divided by 12) true cost of service has now effectively dropped to $8.70 per month.
Boggles the mind, especially since other parts of the deal did not change (i.e. additional $3 international call allowance, free signature number with voicemail, free E911, etc.)
As always with these special deals that require actual call-in rather than online signup: Signing up to this double-dip deal still does not take away any reward opportunities for a friend. All that needs to happen is for the person who has been referred to give the sales guy the primary phone number of the referrer, mention that he/she was told about this deal by that person, and 25 rewards points are put on the referrers account.
