Wish I knew this back in November, maybe I wouldnt have bought the Bold for $450.00. I mean with all these deals going on with the carriers I feel like a doucher

Why not upgrades as well?

...probably because, as usual, retailers almost always shaft existing customers. You make them rich then they shaft you! Kind of like prostitution....

Not that I would switch from Verizon, but too bad T-Mobile doesn't have an iPhone. LOL, that would have been an interesting possibility......

will data be required?

If you buy a smartphone I am sure it will be required.

Or are other T-Mobile branches going to follow suite?

Must use the "Even More" plan which costs a little more but for free phones it might be worth it!

So let's say current customers with TMobile has an old family plan...reading the press release, do they mean if we switch to a newer and more expensive family plan, we all get a phone for free?

Someone please explain

Anyone that can get this should jump on it and get the 9700 that phone rocks. The batt life is worth it.

so what exactly would stop you from starting a new 5 line deal then cancelling it and keeping the phones since you paid nothing for them?

 
 
Posted by cowboys2000 Wednesday, Jun 16, 2010 708 days ago

Don't know what the ETF is, but if you cancel within 30 days, don't you need to return the equipment?

Each line has a contract and ETF so at say $250 each x 5 that is $1250 plus one months service.

In order to get a new approval for 5 lines, I would imagine you would meet the credit guidelines. I would also imagine that since they are running your credit that MOST people would not potentially screw up their credit to get phones they have zero intention of using/.

Then again, I could be wrong.

$250 each ETF...sell phone for $350 or more on eBay.. Easy $500. Worth it if you have the time and patience.

This is a wonderful deal, considering the price to add a line is very affordable. If not for a father why not take advantage to upgrade your phone. I just finished adding the HD2 to my list of gadgets. What a wonderful device for entertainment.

Radio Shack is also giving any T-Mobile phone away the same day, but they are not requiring a family plan setup and they are waiving the $35 activation fee.

Keep in mind you may still need to pay something for the phone at the counter and file a rebate claim for the amount paid. Yeah, I know it is a pain, but as far as rebates go, I've never had trouble with any cell phone rebate before.

WHAT'S THEIR CATCH THEN??

So honestly, how many of you jumped ship from Blackberry to Android this past Saturday?

Nobody is gonna tell me they went with an outdated 9700 for 2 more years when they could have a MT3gS or HD2...
