Hey, I'm new around here, so just thought I'd give a sacrifice. If you go to amazon.com and click on "Today's Deals" near the top, then select Cell Phones, or something of that sort, you can get phones for -150 or -100 or -50 or phones that are normally 200 dollars plus for FREE. So you can either buy a phone that is really expensive for cheap, or buy a decent phone and get 50 bucks out of it.
Hope everyone enjoys and I saved someone a little money.

Yea, this is actually a very hot deal for those who don't know about Amazon's phone deals. They have great free after rebates and even some better than free- If I were looking for a phone + plan I would probably check amazon first.

AT&T had a nice deal about two weeks ago...new service (1 or 2 year) and you get a free Nokia 6800...I needed a new provider so I jumped on it...they shipped it next day for free also...can't beat that...

My last cell phone purchase through amazon went very well. When I filled out the rebate phone, I think I accidently checked the samsung s105 for AT&T coverage which only had a $150 rebate. In reality I bought the samsung s105 for T-mobile which had the $200 rebate. All I did was email amazon and the guy said he'd check up on it. About 3 weeks later I received the other $50.

I just got T-mobile here in Savannah, Ga, and I am VERY pleased thus far. Service is BETTER than anyone else here, coverage is GREAT.
I am getting about 3000 minutes for $49.95, and all kinds of pluses.
Also, T-mobile has the best phones that have the coolest toys!

Well, sure Amazon has great deals on mobile phones. I've bought my last two from Amazon.

The T-Mobile Samsung S105 was $50 after rebate when color screens were still not all that common in the States.

I bought a Sprint Sanyo 8200 cameraphone about a month ago that'll be about $125 after rebate.

Watch out for those Sprint rebates! I didn't plan to spend so much on the phone, but I didn't read the Sprint rebate carefully before I bought. Amazon and Sprint advertise the final price based on a two-year contract.

As an update on the cell phone rebate, Sprint will not give you the rebate if you port an existing number to their service.

I read the terms of the rebate several times, but I did not fully appreciate that new service activation means new number and not just new service.

So, Sprint is charging extra every month for porting the number, and I get no rebate. I'll drop them at the end of the year and know better next time. Fair warning to others on the definition of new service actvation.

Same here, but I got the deal anyway, can't argue with -$150 for a SE T610. Not a bad phone too. So far so good!

Man nice. Too bad you can't select a family plan for t-mobile unless I'm doing it wrong.

Last year I had the T-Mo store match Amazon to get a free T68i and 720 (family plan). It was pretty sweet because Amazon did not offer the family plan at the time and the T-Mo store gave me the difference in rebates upfront!

I told my friend I had done it and he tried but they would not match for him, so YMMV.
