HOT! (if it works) Sprint phone- Sanyo 6200 for $50

[MrDingleDangle]

dunno if this will work, hopeing someone could let me know what they think before i try it.

amazon has the kyocera 1135 phone for $100 with an $100 amazon rebate
plus if u buy 2 phones u can get $150 from sprint pcs (for new customers or old customers re-signing a contract)...so then i could buy the sanyo 6200 as the second

kyocera price after amazon rebate - free
sprit phone $200
sprint rebate $150

total $50

i believe you have to activate both phones to receive the rebate.. thats how the previous sprint 2 phone rebates worked

i believe that way is a hassle.

let's say you buy both phone, get the rebates with the intent of renewing your contract.
= $50
you saved $250

you have to activate both phones or have plans for both, so i figure the best thing you could do is add-a-phone. but in order to add-a-phone, i believe you must have a $50 plan. And then it's $10/month more to add-a-phone. So let's say you have a $30 plan and you add-a-phone...
=$60/month = $720/year less taxes
you used to have...$30/month = $360/year less taxes

so in essence, by spending $200 on the one 6200 phone, you are saving yourself $160 at the end of the year.


HOWEVER...

amazon.com has the 6200 for $200. $100 rebate from amazon (for new service/new line) and $70 from sprint (new service/new line)

$200
-$100 (amazon)
-$70 (sprint)
=$30 for the phone

i don't know if by renewing your contract you get the same rebates. i don't know if that qualifies. if it does, that'd be cool.
