SMOKING HOT DEAL people.

I saw the earlier posts about people getting this phone for $150+, which was a good deal for January, but check this out!!!

I went to NJ Cellular in Cranford, NJ yesterday with two of my friends, looking for a new wireless plan. I am sick and tired of Cingular's overbilling, dropped calls, and rude CSR's.

AT&T is offering a great plan, provided you sign up for a two year contract. 600 minutes peak, 3000 night&wknd (which start at 8 p.m.), $39.99/month, free nationwide long distance, home area from Maine to Delaware, no activation fee. (If you sign up for the one year plan, it is 400 peak, and a $35 activation fee, everything else same)

Here is the best part.. The guy was charging $50 for the Motorola V60t, which is a $300+ phone with Cingular or Verizon. Since we bought three new plans, he hooked us each up with this phone for FREE!!! Now, your mileage may vary depending on how many you get, but even for $50 this is an unbelievable price for this AWESOME phone.

I know some of you have heard bad things about AT&T service, as did I, but I decided to give it a shot since their is a 30 day money back guarantee. (All you pay is the first month bill). So far it has been the same, if not a little better than my Cingular service. The only thing is, AT&T and Cingular both use the TDMA network, which is inferior to both CDMA (Verizon) and GSM (Voicestream). If you are currently a Verizon customer, you may not want to do this, but it is a MUST for current Cingular subscribers.

AT&T also offers a real online website, where you can check/pay your bill, add/remove features to your calling plan, etc.

And other good news is that AT&T will be converting to a GSM network nationwide by 2002 end, and you will have the option to switch to that service when it is launched in your area.

I dont know about you guys, but next to the Ericsoon T68(GSM only) that is slowly reaching our market, this is by far the best phone out there right now. Very good looking phone, small, lightweight, and tons of features. I was personally not a big Motorola fan until this V series phone came out. Nokia has been lagging lately, and the only good phones they come out with are for the European GSM market. AND, This phone has a true 3 hour talk time, as a friend of mine who bought this a few months ago claims.

I think this is ONE SMOKING HOT DEAL, and if you are in the Jersey area and looking for a new wireless plan, this is the one to jump on.

Not sure when this promotion ends...

Gee... now you are telling me... I got it few weeks ago from AT&T. I thought I had the best deal around. Motorola V60 + Kit bundle (extra battery, headsets, speaker cradle) for $130 and $40 rebate... So, basically I got it for $90. Don't know if the $40 rebate still good because it expired by the end of Jan.

Life's short... post more !!

Lobocop, you in the Jersey area? I dont know if any other stores around the country are offering this.

I went to a few around my area who wanted $150 for the phone before I found this deal.

Can anyone comment on the PIM functions of the V60t?

Is it worthless, or actually usable?

V60t is fabulous, however i'm on my 3rd one!
They keep going deal on me!!!
Good thing ATT OVERNIGHTS you a new one if you have any trouble, no questions asked!
They charge a $9.99 shipping fee - bit if you ask they WILL waive it!
You really cant beat ATT/ V60!
After you get the plan, try to switch to the 400/500 min plan with no roaming (see my other post!)

I just pick this phone also for $40, it comes with a car charger. Its not free but the price is decent. If anyone is interested, I am in the New york area. Let me know and I see if they still have the promotions. I only sign up for one yr contract and paid the $35 activition fee. Knowing me, I'll probably go for a new phone next year. So far I've change my phone annually. My wife is using the LG510 which is good also. I didn't see anyone mention this, but you can get a special headphone that you can listen to FM radio from your V60t. The headphone is about $45. When I get it I let you guys know how is it.

I just went to ATT Wireless store here in seattle,and the price tag on the phone is 249.They do not even want to hear about any discounts or anything.I wonder if someone can tell me which store are you guys buying these phones.Or would it work if someone bought it for me at NJ or NY or wherever these are on such promotion and have it activated for me on 206 area code or something...

Hmm,
I can't seem to find this phone in Southern California...
Is there any way to do a possible Pricematch with this phone and the NJ store?

heres how the cellphone industry works (at least were i worked a few years ago) - for those of you who are lookin for a cell phone deal. the sales guy is resposible for buying the phone he gives you, but he gets a certain amount of money dependng on which plan you sign up for. then you share that profit with the campany or sometimes all will go into salesguy check.

example 1
two year deal worth 350
minus cell phone cost 270
net 80 - split 60/40(or whatever you have negotiated with company)

example 2
one year deal worth 230
minus cell phone cost 270
in the whole 40
charge 120 to cover same 80 profit

***these prices are made up and do not reflect actual cell phone cost or plan kickback

lastly there are two types of sellers, primary and secondary. primary sellers, att, cingular, etc... don't move on their price structure as much as secondary selllers. i worked for a secondary seller. our company had a contract with comcast celluar to sell the exact same plans comcast does-after you left my store you dealt with comcast customer care - unless your phone broke. believe me at the end of the month if a guy came in and told me this is what he wanted - and i needed to make a certain number of sales to make an extra 500 dollar bonus - i would deal down to 0 profit.

Its in Seattle WA....I had Motorola v something phone..The phone that V60 Replaced,really small flip phone...And i would be driving on 405 and every half mile signal is gone.Cingular totally sucks here,their customer service is rude and dont know anything about anything ,phones are expensive and their bills dont even show calls you made,and in order for you to check your voicemail from landline you have to buy Enhanced Voicemail..What kind of crap is that..
